Milk and Honey for a Woman’s Soul is a devotional that feels like sitting quietly with the Lord, letting His promises settle deep. Each entry is short … just a verse, a reflection, a prayer … but somehow there’s enough space for real honesty and comfort. I found myself pausing more than once, letting the reminders of God’s faithfulness and care carry into the rest of my day.
Carey Scott writes with a gentle touch. She keeps the focus on God’s nearness … His willingness to meet us in anxiety, worry, or plain old exhaustion. There’s an undercurrent of hope on every page, even when the prayers are simple. Some days, that’s exactly what I need.
The Scripture passages lean toward paraphrased translations, which gives the language a softer, more conversational feel while remaining accessible. Readers who enjoy in-depth Bible study may appreciate pairing this devotional with time directly in Scripture. But if you need daily reminders that God is present, patient, and true to His promises, this devotional will meet you right there.
It’s beautifully designed … easy to gift, easy to return to, easy to tuck into the moments between the harder parts of life. I appreciate that Jesus is named, repentance isn’t skipped, and the gospel is present, even if the reflections stay gentle.
This devotional gently reminds you that you are loved by Almighty God and held by His sovereign hands.
Women navigating busy days, heavy responsibilities, or just needing a tender word grounded in Scripture will appreciate this quiet companion. For me, every page is an invitation to return again to the steady truth of Scripture.
I received an advanced electronic copy of this book from Barbour Books via NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review and was not compensated in any way. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own and reflect my honest evaluation of the book’s writing, content, and Scriptural soundness.
