Secret Keeper Girl: Mom Daughter Devos

Secret Keeper Girl - Mother-Daughter Devos: with Coloring Experience - By: Dannah K. Gresh

I got this devotional to go along with the Book that Dannah wrote called The Power of Modesty for Tweens.

I didn't read through the whole devotional, but was pretty impressed with how it is set up. There are seven weeks of devotionals, five days per week. Each week is set up to go along with a chapter in the book. While you can do the devotional alone, it is recommended to do it with the book. Each devotional is a two page spread, with a little over a page being reading and then there are some journaling exercises as well. There is also a Bible reading to go along with each day.

Some of the journaling jobs include: "Write a confession of any lies you have told lately." And then a part where you ask God to give you a desire to tell the truth. Or taking some time to write some personal goals. A lot of the journaling parts have multiple little designs with lines in them, so both mom and daughter could do it if they wanted to. At the end of every week, there is a two-page spread to color. One side is a quote and the other side is a picture of girls or fashion that go along with the lesson of the week. The quotes would be fun to color, but the other page isn't really my style as much. There is also a "Talk about It" section for mom and daughter to discuss together. For example, "Has there ever been a tie when you dressed a certain way to get attention and have people look at you?"

The book is written for 7 to 12 years old, with the understanding that the younger girls will for sure need their mom to help them with the reading to fully understand what is being said. This book could also be done by an older girl on her own, I think, though I think it would be very valuable for mom and daughter to discuss these concepts together. It could bring out some very good and vital discussions.

I received this book from Moody Publishers and was not required to write a positive review.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers

The Swindler's Daughter by Stephania H. McGee

  Lillian is raised by her "widowed" mother who wants Lillian to marry slightly above her station so as to secure a good future for both Lillian and her mother.  But then the unexpected happens and Lillian is left the inheritance of her father who has only just now died. She travels to Dawsonville where she is confronted with secrets and a whole new life. She is given community, family, friendships and acceptance, something she has never had before.  It was a fun light read, but I can't say I gained any huge inspiration from it. It was pretty fluffy. Of course, there was Jonah battling his own things and struggling to come to terms with the way his own life was turning out. So you know the end of all that, but on the way there there was some danger and some twists and turns in the plot which added to the story.  I received this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions expressed are my own.
