If you're looking for a great new devotional that will help you step out of your comfort zone and into the role that God has called you to, Called to Inspire might just be the perfect one for you!

First and foremost, let's just talk about the beauty of this devotional! The cover features a beautifully illustrated flower design that immediately caught my eye. I loved it. This same style is carried all throughout inside as well. Of course, you know what they say... never judge a book by it's cover! And the content? Every bit as wonderful as the covers/illustrations.

Called to Inspire features 52 Questions, one for each week of the year. A few of the questions included are:

-Can God Invest In You?
-How Big Is Your Army?
- Too Hard To Love?
-Are You Martha?
-Should You Try Another Way?
-What Are You Waiting For?

This is just a small selection on the questions posed within the pages, helping you to discover God's purpose in your life. Each of the 52 sections has a short, one page devotional followed by a prayer, a scripture, a declaration, a keepsake message (take away) and a journaling prompt. There is also nearly two full pages to journal your thoughts on that prompt. I believe the space provided is adequate enough for most, but you could certainly create a small tip in (an additional page for writing, attached to the existing book with washi tape) for additional space if needed. Journaling can be such a great way to help us process our thoughts, and this journal truly has everything we need to help us further target those thoughts and make the most of our journaling time.

At the time of this review, I have not read through the entire devotional, but enough to get a good feel for the style and messages within...and I love what I am seeing so far and look forward to exploring it more. If you're looking for a great devotional journal, this is certainly one to check out!
