Book Review: LOL with God: Devotional Messages of Hope & Humor for Women

I had the chance to review this devotional book for women, LOL with God: Devotional Messages of Hope & Humor for Women . It's a light-hearted book for one to enjoy if you need a good laugh and just to feel revived and refreshed. I did feel that even though I text here and there, I am not into all of the lingo that's currently out there. To me, it is a little irritating. LOL There are a collection of personal stories in this book and text message Bible verses throughout to encourage women in their walk with the Lord. You can 'send up a msg to the Lord, there are 'text helps', an LOL area and a place to write your text msg to God about your life, what you read, or a request that's on your heart. This book is not my personal fav for devotions for women. They aren't deep and serious really and I do like most of my devotions being that way for the most part. Disclaimer: Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book.

Once you see these pictures, you realize how small you are in the vast scheme of His power and might. There are Scriptures and quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada, Max Lucado and many others weaved throughout this beautiful book! Here are just a few quotes that I meditated upon: "We know about beauty because God, the Ultimate First Cause of Everything, is also beautiful...to the humble and worshipful of heart...every tiny piece of creation remind
