Daily Gifts of Grace: Devotions for Each Day of Your Year

Daily Gifts of Grace: Devotions for Each Day of Your Year. This is an adorable book to give as a gift! Its cute with a magnetic holder, but it is also filled with the word of God! What could be better than that! I loved carrying this around to look at and follow, the devotions are really well put together by a great group of woman. They challenge you and reveal God to you! This would definately be enjoyed by any woman that recieved this as a gift! Its hard to come by devotional books that are any good, most of them are so lifeless, but this one is the exception! Wisdom, grace, love, are all things that are spoken through out this devotional!



I received this book from booksneeze in exchange for an honest review!

Where he finds corruption among the countries officials, greed over rare minerals, missing people, missing communities and a war between tribal rivaltries,  also finds some love to boot!
