My Thoughts:
In this great little devotional "The Joy of Letting Go", Vicki has put together readings for 52 days or 52 weeks, which ever you prefer. She writes from real life experiences with her son and she does a great job showing the reader that just because your children are now teens, you don't give up on them. Actually, being teenagers, this is the time more than ever to instill and invest time with them. I loved her transparency about mistakes, her practical examples, parenting tips, and the "thought poke" at the end of each devotional. This devotional is small and get fit into your purse, which makes it great for on the on the go mom! You'll love the inspirational quotes too! I give this book 4/5 stars. Thank you to the publishers for providing a complimentary copy. A favorable review was not required. This would be a great Mother's Day gift!
