Adored - 365 Devotions For Young Women, by Lindsay A. Franklin - A Book Review

Our household is blessed with two beautiful girls. The first is a teenager, and the other is not far behind. When I had the chance to review the devotional book Adored, 365 Devotions For Young Women, I knew that it was a book that I wanted to check out. (I received a free copy of this book, in exchange for my honest opinion.) I specifically had my oldest in mind for this, first of all, because she fits the targeted demographic. Even more than that, it looked like a book that would underscore God's love for her using relatable topics and issues of the present day.

Adored, at first glance, is a beautiful book. Hardcover, navy blue, with foil painted illustrations on the cover, it's durable yet pretty, without being too frilly. I mention that, because my daughter is definitely not a frilly sort of young lady. They say not to judge a book by it's cover, but I do like the look of it, and so did my daughter, lol.

Getting to what really matters in this book, as the title states, there are 365 devotions here. Each has a scripture verse, and inspirational message, both being short. They are all numbered, as in Day 1, Day 2, etc., but don't feel like they must necessarily be completed in order. If you notice a message that speaks to a relevant situation in your life, use it!

Topics that are addressed include modesty, bullying, anger, beauty, perfectionism, God's unfailing love, and many many more. They get the point across without looking like a written lecture. These might be good for use by leaders of small groups, as a quick way to introduce or reinforce a topic.

Overall, we like Adored. I think this is a good book to use in conjunction with another bible study. It probably isn't in depth enough to use as an only Bible study, but is certainly a good help. With the holidays quickly approaching, this would be a nice (edifying) stocking stuffer for the young women on your list. Pick up a copy, and enjoy.
