Girls’ Devo Book Review: Just Sayin’ by Carol McAdams Moore
by Sally Matheny Just Sayin’ by McAdams Moore Don’t judge this book by its cover. This paperback, 90-day devotion book is perfect for daughters (ages 8-12) who love digging & doodling.

Are You Stretched to a Numbing Ineffectiveness?
by Sally Matheny Embarrassing ineffectiveness The day I sashayed into the church with the back corner of my dress firmly tucked inside my pantyhose ranks in the top five of my most embarrassing moments.
