These devotions point to His presence in every part of our lives, when we simply take the time to notice. On a scale of 1-10: 1 your soul is in utter turmoil and 10 your soul is in excellent condition and connected to God, what number would you select? Mary gives you the ability to connect with God on a daily basis, simply by focusing on your day to day routine. Whether your day is mundane or mayhem, you will be challenged to increase your awareness of God and feel His daily presence.

Rediscover the awe of God's creation of the white iris and be humbled by the hidden blessings that can be found through tragedy as you join Mary on this journey.

This easy to follow, yet deep devotion is the cornerstone of Mary's retreat, "Who Are You? Discover the woman God created you to be."

"What a beautiful devotional book! I love the wonderful stories Mary weaves throughout the book. She is a gifted writer sharing hope and the love of our God, who makes our lives far from mundane. Even in sharing about her bathroom remodel, she shares golden nuggets like, 'I pray every drop of water from my new rain shower head will remind me Christ washes away my sins.'" Awesome! Doris Swift, Author of "Goodbye, Regret: Forgiving Yourself of Past Mistakes""

Mary has a great talent for taking everyday happenings, both great and small, and transforming them into moments to be shared with God. She writes with feelings, humor, and a humble heart. It is obvious that she is in a personal relationship with God and her devotions encourage all readers to strive for that same connection. She uses her family and her own experiences as examples to show how the bible is relevant today. This book will be read many times. I will definitely recommend it to friends and family."

"Mary's words are from her heart. I can see every story, as if I was standing there watching it happen. I laughed so hard at some of the stories because, life happens in unexpected ways. The stories of her family and friends are heartwarming. I am going to go to her site, Mary Rodman.com/shop, and look for the "Blessings "so I can dig deeper into HIS words! Thank you Mary! I look forward to your next book." TJG
