Plot: Readers in search of daily devotions for the deeply devout or those looking for a spiritually uplifting message will find plenty of divulgence on these pages. Creating them for the seasons and starting during December when the daylight is dim will help many who need a positive message in these times. Lanzetta's soothing words will help the reader to slow down and breathe.

Prose/Style: As this book is beautifully written, it is as if Lanzetta’s pen is enhanced by her spirituality. Her fluid writing delivers an uplifting message in small daily doses. These testaments of spirituality deliver a powerful message.

Originality: Daily devotions are common and necessary for a peaceful soul; however, these come from a variety of places and are written in various formats: poems, published and unpublished works of the author, lectures, prayers, and meditations. The quiet solitude that Lanzetta provides across each page is refreshing and meaningful.

Character Development/Execution: Lanzetta’s words have the ability to change the reader’s perspective. Each message is short and well-executed. Taking the reader through the seasons on a daily basis allows for a different perspective snd literary journey.
