The Little Women Devotional

How many of you consider Little Women as one of the most beloved books of all time? I certainly do and now, there is a wonderful companion to Louisa May Alcott's masterpiece. Author Rachel Dodge offers readers The Little Women Devotional, and it is absolutely beautiful! There are 47 devotions and I was immediately transported back to the first time that I read Little Women. Each devotion has a snippet from the book, and these scenes are followed by an inspiring devotion, a suggestion for applying it to our own life, and an appropriate prayer. Best of all, each devotion has a colorful illustration that is reminiscent of the original Little Women. As I read these devotionals, I was reminded of the wisdom and inspiration that was included in Little Women, but I now have a greater appreciation for Marmee, Mr. March, and the four March sisters. It's very apparent that Dodge treasured them also, and she's penned a memorable tribute! The Little Women Devotional is absolutely lovely, and it's now been added to my shelf of favorite devotionals. It reminds me of my youth, it encourages me to return to the values of a simpler and gentler time, and it inspires a closer walk with God. Reading it is an emotional trip down memory lane, and I look forward to sharing this book with my family and friends! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing, but I also purchased another copy. I was under no obligation to post a review. These are my own thoughts.

This is a great devotional. I love the illustrations and the devotions are excellent. Easy to read and understand. I love this book.

The Little Women Devotional by Rachel Dodge gives readers 47 days (plus one bonus) of devotional readings with their favorite characters of the book Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. Like her previous devotionals, The Little Women Devotional pairs scenes of the beloved book with Bible verses, connecting the two on multiple levels and then giving the reader a more personal application to their own lives. These not only make us think about The Little Women in a different light, but also gives us ways to think about our own thoughts and actions each day. Many days were lightbulbs for me! So many times I found myself shaking my head YES YES! I enjoyed the excerpts and then the personal applications really help me to apply these passages to my own life. Not even to mention how adorable the illustrations are! Again, Rachel Dodge shows her talent and knowledge of scripture to be able to put this together so nicely. Great job!!

Author Rachel Dodge has, once again, delivered an outstanding literary devotional that ties the dear story of the March family to the best story, God’s Word! This chapter by chapter companion to Louisa May Alcott’s beloved classic is filled with rich daily devotionals that will encourage your soul and call you to a deeper relationship with the One who made and loves you. The March family is one of my favorites and rereading it with a focus on biblical truths, personal application, and scripture makes it even dearer to me. The cover is delightful and the illustrations throughout are just as stunning. I sincerely hope we see many more literary devotionals from from this author!

I have already read the Anne of Green Gables devotional from this author and her Little Women devotional is not to be missed. It goes along with each chapter in the book and is perfect for any fan.
