Book excerpt: 365 first-person devotionals, written by grandmothers for grandmothers, from the editors of Daily Guideposts, America's favorite devotional for more than 35 years. These specially-chosen devotionals provide rich reflections on every aspect of a grandmother's life: keeping up with the grandchildren, whether they're near or far away; changing relationships with adult children; maintaining and handing down family traditons; passing on the blessings of faith to a new generation; all the while keeping active at work, church and in the community. Meet dynamic grandmas like Carol Knapp, Marilyn Morgan King, Mary Lou Carney and Carol Kuykendall as they share their own experiences with God and the grandkids. Each devotional contains a short Scripture, a true, first-person anecdote, told in an informal, conversational style, that shares the ways God speaks to us in the ordinary events of life, and a brief prayer to focus the reader's own prayers and put the day's message to work in her own life.
