Devotions to Fit Your Busy Life

It can be hard to carve out quiet time with God when so many things are competing for your attention. But the benefits of spending just 15 minutes a day drawing closer to Him greatly outweighs the commitment. Nurturing your relationship with your Heavenly Father will not only strengthen you spiritually, it will help you accomplish all you set out to do.

Each entry in this beautifully bound edition of the bestselling 15 Minutes Alone with God (over half-a-million copies sold) features a short Scripture reading, key verse, an inspiring devotion, easy action steps, and additional verses for further study.

Let these heartfelt insights from Emilie Barnes bring you into deeper fellowship with God. Emilie's heart was always to help women like you in practical ways as you manage your busy home and life, and her words remain as inspiring today as when they were first published.

Do you remember what it felt like to be a tween—those awkward, uncomfortable yet exciting years from eight-to-twelve?

Each of these, short, easy-to-read devotions (over 100+) cover every part of a tween girl's world, including

• Creating strong friendships
• Having healthy self-esteem
• Choosing to follow Jesus
• Making smart decisions
• Developing good work habits

Have you reached the point where one more thing on your to-do list is one too many? Do you find yourself praying, "Lord, I don't think I can handle any more stuff?"

Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory have been there. They want to encourage you, but even more important, they offer helpful solutions to make your everyday life easier. Get good advice on how to plan ahead, set boundaries with others and yourself, and be more intentional about self-care without the guilt.
