| Sample from The One Year Mini for Busy Women Reprinted with permission from Tyndale House Discovering Beauty The perfection of beauty, God shines in glorious radiance. Psalm 50:2 Dew drops along the delicate edge of a flower, the graceful curve of an unfolding rose, the subtle flutter of marvelously painted butterfly wings-- there are many summer beauties. The sun dries the dew drops and beetles ravage the rose petals, but there is much to be thankful for in each part of life. To be able to see beauty is a gift from God. There is much in the world that is less than beautiful, but usually, mixed in with despair and the less-than-ideal, there is a breathtaking glimmer of hope. Finding beauty is only possible when it is first present within. Recognizing beauty despite imperfections requires a hopeful heart and a watchful eye. To cultivate beauty in your life and hope in your heart, begin each day with a prayer for those qualities. Look for goodness in spite of the bad things that happen. Watch for opportunities to encourage, smile, offer hope, and live in joy. Plant a flower, send a card, make an encouraging phone call, and find a reason to say thank you. Discover the blessing of beauty and pass it along. Beauty brings hope. |
| Praise Amazon review, 5-star Fantastic find for an inspiring daily devotional, March 6, 2008 By Katie Funk "Gwenelle" (Portland, OR) - I picked this book up on a whim, looking for some type of daily devotional. I wanted something short and to the point, with scripture references, related modern explanations or examples, and questions or statements to guide thinking and self-reflection. But I don't have time for anything too intense on a daily basis. The title seemed fitting, so I flipped to that particular day and it was actually quite perfect. I bought it on the spot. Since then, I have read each day's page consistently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Each page provides a verse, expounds upon it in a way that modern, busy women can readily relate to, and concludes with a suggestion or thought for the day. There's even a built-in ribbon bookmark so you can quickly flip to today's date. I actually read each day twice, morning and night, because it's that encouraging and only takes a few minutes. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a more regular routine in their devotional life but finds it hard to know what to study and to find the time. |

It’s in the in-between times (waiting for the kids at a soccer match, on the commute home, during a lunch break at work) that you have time to center your thoughts back on the simple joys in life--the beauty of flowers in bloom, the exuberance of young toddlers at play, the excitement of kids coming home from school. The One Year Mini for Busy Women is there for you when you need it. |
