4.0 out of 5 stars 15 Minutes Alone with God, October 7, 2000

By 

Deb (Homewood, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 15 Minutes Alone with God (Paperback)

Many devotionals are too brief, being only a few paragraphs long. These daily readings are a few pages each, so they have more meat to them. Each devotion begins with a scripture reference followed by Emilie's application of the scripture, some suggested action steps, and a brief prayer. In the scripture applications, Emilie focuses on her personal experiences and experiences in the daily lives of most women. She encourages readers to apply God's principles in their roles as wives, mothers, friends, and professionals. I have recommended this book to many women, and I passed my copy along to a friend. I wish more devotionals followed this format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uses real life situations to show us God's love, July 29, 1999

By

This review is from: 15 Minutes Alone with God (Paperback)

This book has revived my quite time with the Lord. God has used her writings to bring me back to a desire to be with Him everyday for time alone. She uses real life, down to earth situations to show us where God is working and how we can better follow His ways. Excellent book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Busy Women, June 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 15 Minutes Alone with God (Paperback)

This book is a wonderful resource for busy mother's who can't seem to find the time to spend with God each day. If you can begin with 15 min., you may find that you can do more. Each section is short and to the point and is good to use along with a prayer journal, or diary. It has little check boxes at the beginning of each section so that you can mark off a box, reminding you of those that have been read already. Emilie Barnes really gives you a lot to think about. The individual sections range in topics about marriage, parenting, and being a woman of God. At the end of most sections is a sample prayer and some "Thoughts for Action, as well as additional scripture reading. I highly reccomend this book. I have had mine for a couple of years now and it is still very refreshing to use.
