I fear this devotional leans more towards what's known as prosperity gospel (if you follow God's rules, you'll be wealthy and have all you need) which is not Biblical. In fact, being a true Christ follower will bring persecution and difficulty. 1 Peter 4:14 in the ESV Bible says, "If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you." The manner in which he comes to realize and confront his dilemma is played out entirely within his interior landscape, a realm which (as anyone who remembers their dreams upon waking from sleep can attest) is a very surreal extension of our day-to-day experiences. Michel Gondry's visual style and direction works exceptionally well here in conveying the slippery, chaotic unpredictability of the worlds we construct from our memories and experiences; the clever interplay between this interior world and the goings-on of the outside world helps keep the viewer off-balance just enough to illuminate the fuzzy line of demarcation separating the two worlds and the peculiar manner in which they play off one another. Each day includes a scripture, author's personal story or notes, ways to get through this trial in life, and so much positivity & best of all it's relatable.

While reading through this devotional, the focus was always on self and how God can help you be "better." Never about what we as Christians need to do so we can better serve God.I’m only on Day 31 out of 100, but I can say I look forward to this devotional everyday. It’s inspiring, really makes you think and makes a you appreciate God even more. This devotional brings sunshine to even the most simplest of topic you didn’t know you needed inside and grace from how you feel. @tanyarad and @raquellestevens have written a devotional everyone would appreciate. I can’t wait to continue the journey for the next 69 days. You read one day and you want to read the next one in the same sitting, but at the same time each days entry makes you reflect and take it all in and see how it applies to your life. #sunshinemind #devotional #dailydevotional #relateable #joyful #hope #god

The Sunshine Mind: 100 Days to Finding the Hope and Joy…

The bright yellow cover completely caught my eye! At first, I did not realize it was a Christian devotional because I'm not used to seeing covers like this one in that particular genre. PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Sunshine_Mind_-_Raquelle_Stevens_and_Tanya_Rad.pdf, The_Sunshine_Mind_-_Raquelle_Stevens_and_Tanya_Rad.epub If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.” – Morris West Thank you to bookish and the publisher for sending me this free copy of The Sunshine Mind. I was pleasantly surprised to get a hardcover, The book is so beautiful. Christian women, please do not read this atrocity. This is a woman so blindly mislead by her own thoughts + attempts to disguise it as “the will of God.” Regarding her relationship, the author says “one day..my hope was restored in the form of a man….”

I read a good amount of self improvement and devotional books and The Sunshine Mind: 100 Days to Finding the Hope and Joy You Want is definitely one of the better ones I've read! The book itself is bright and cheery...yellow...sunshine...joy and hope. May you see sunshine where others see shadows and opportunities where others see obstacles.”– Unknown – This book is on the religious side which I didn’t realize but it was something I throughly enjoyed. Each day (chapter) includes a key Bible verse, a personal inspiring story by Tanya or Raquelle, a prayer, and practical tips on how to apply the help on the topic to one’s daily life. They touch upon many important issues in ways that are easy to understand and are engaging. And it’s not an in depth Bible study, more so their positive approach to living a life of joy. Yes, there is some celebrity name dropping, but to me it doesn’t come off as cheesy or showy, it’s just their lives. I didn’t agree with everything they said, but I thought they made some interesting, thoughtful points. As these are two young women who move in prominent media circles in LA, I actually feel proud of them for standing up for their faith and being willing to share with others how to find true joy through Christ alone. Through short encouraging readings on how to become less obsessed with perfection, seek validation from God rather than others, see negative circumstances as new opportunities, and more, you'll learn to...
