Customer Reviews

Great book for brides to keep focused on what is really important

I was recommended this book by another bride and I would highly recommend it. I wanted to get it because I felt like my mind was getting too preoccupied with planning and logistics while forgetting God and the spiritual aspect to a wedding and marriage. I have been reading 1 chapter a week. Each chapter includes a reflection taken from a Bible passage and a section that gives practical advice for wedding planning. I like the balance of both. I plan to give mine away after my wedding to a newly engaged friend!

Wonderful devotional and planner

I bought this book when I was planning my wedding and recently purchased it for a friend who is getting married. I was looking for a Christian devotional for brides or a wedding planner that focused on faith and not just the details of planning and this handbook was perfect. Amy Tol offers wonderful planning advice and ideas and the devotions were just what I needed. The devotions are based on different characteristics that a bride should possess and they bookend the chapters. I tried to read one devotion or planning section a day and had to stop myself from rushing through it because it was such an enjoyable and helpful read. I highly recommend this book and it makes a wonderful gift for someone newly engaged!
