The One Year Book of Inspiration for Girlfriends…juggling Not-So-Perfect, OFTEN-CRAZY, but Gloriously REAL LIVES is a devotional book by Ellen Miller. Mrs. Miller is the long time author of “Truth Nuggets,” a bi-weekly e-mail devotional. Her devotionals and blog posts (www.ellenmiller.com) have now been compiled into book form in this 365 day devotional book. I, however, enjoyed reading the book straight through, instead of limiting myself to one page a day. The list of topics covered in this book is expansive—there is sure to be something here for everyone. From finding joy in daily life to marriage to loss to friendship to fears to perfectionism, I found nuggets that I could use on nearly every page—either changes for me to make or principles to ponder.

I love the title of this book because it is, indeed, written for women with “real lives,” not those who “have it all together”—if that kind of women actually exists! The author is transparent about the issues in her own life, but her joy in life and in the Lord shines through it all.
