“Her True Worth,” a Facebook and Instagram community with more than 5 million followers, is led by Brittany Maher and Cassandra Speer. Their recent release, “There’s Beauty in Your Brokenness: 90 Devotions to Surrender Striving, Live Unburdened and Find Your Worth in Christ,” is a book form of what they share in the online group about one’s worthiness in Christ.
The back cover summary starts with a question: “Do you ever feel that no matter what you do, it never seems to be enough? That the broken parts of your life — the failures and the heartache — overshadow the possibilities?” If the answer is yes, then this devotional could be helpful for you to be able to “live from your worth, not for it.”
With short chapters that are only about two or three pages and have titles such as “Surviving the Storms in Life,” “Our Secrets Make Us Sick” and “The Enemy Wants You to Agree with Him. Don’t,” the book provides support for real-life issues that come from the included Bible verses as well as personal experiences.
Brief but encouraging
Not a journal or a Bible study, there are no questions at the end of each chapter that could lead to procrastination. This is edifying for the woman on the go, with the readings only taking about five minutes to complete.
Encouraging quotes are abundant throughout the devotional, both in the empty space at the end of many chapters as well as on full pages with a pastel watercolor background.
With the beautiful hardback edition opening up to a page where the name of the recipient, the giver and the date can be recorded, “There’s Beauty in Your Brokenness” would be a great gift for the women in your life who might need a lift or for the teen who needs to learn where her true worth originates.
