Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women (What we can learn from the women of the Bible)

Some of you may remember that I reviewed a devotional book for young women last year,
Adored 365-day Devotional. My daughter has enjoyed using it throughout this past year, and I was delighted to receive another devotional from Zondervan, Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women.




This devotional is set up similarly to Adored, with a verse, a devotional thought, and space for the reader to record their thoughts/responses to the devotional, with a coordinating maroon ribbon to help them keep their place. 



Instead of the more general topics addressed in Adored, Beloved addresses the women and girls of the Bible, offering insights into their lives that will help to build up a young woman's faith through their examples, while still exploring topics relevant to today's older teens and twenty-somethings.  

It starts out with a few devotionals drawn from Proverbs, and then moves through the Bible, starting in Genesis, and touching on the lives of Biblical women (some well known, and others more obscure) up through the book of Esther (which brings us all the way to Day 312 of the year). From here it moves into the New Testament, starting in Luke and ending in Galatians and Timothy, with a focus on Timothy's mother and grandmother. The devotionals aren't *always in Biblical book order, but pretty close.  



Although I personally prefer the blue color theme of Adored, Beloved has a lovely floral pink/maroon color scheme, with happy little flower silhouettes at the top of each page, and again, that nice satin marker ribbon.

This is a fantastic gift for the Young Lady in your life, as you encourage them to get into the Word 365.

I hope this review is useful to you as you seek out gifts that make a difference this year. 


Blessings~
