Mary's unique style of writing intertwines daily situations with biblical stories to deepen your relationship with God. She inspires you to look past the chaos and the commonplace routines in your life and experience Christ's presence around you.

Through laughter, memories, and even sorrow, Mary helps you see the Bright Morning Star, named Jesus. Discover her humor in the devotional, Bird Poop, as she highlights the biblical example of Abigail and how you might handle unwelcome life circumstances.

You will chuckle as you read Mary's exhilarating ride down the mountainside, and grab your "Oh help me Jesus handle" as she relates the twists and turn of her trip to real life situations.

Bloom: A flower, especially one cultivated for its beauty. Cultivate your beauty as you grow closer to Christ through Mary's words and her personal testimony. These meditations include both Old Testament and New Testament scriptures. The 99 devotions are easy to read and thought provoking. Each one provides great Bible study and reference materials and a variety of options, such as suggested scripture readings and soar with Jesus tips.

The devotions in Bloom Where You're Planted range from laughter to tears and can be used like a reference handbook full of encouragement. Life is so hectic that we often feel more like an object than a person. In the devotion, Object or Person, you are reminded how important you are to God. So important that He knows you by name.

The daily devotions in Mary's book are absolutely wonderful. Each devotional applies to life and is an encouragement to read every day. Mary has definitely written these devotions from the heart. Thanks Mary for taking us along with you on your journey with the Lord. ~ Kim Retterer, Barnes & Noble Customer

For someone who much prefers paper or hardbound books, I feel it shows just how wonderful this book is, that I was able to enjoy it as an eBook.

And, while I personally much prefer KJV Bible verses, I like the versions the author used, and the way she mixed them up in the text. The chosen verses work very well in each usage.

All in all, an exceptional devotional. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a love of flowers or just an interest in blooming as a follower of Christ. ~ JC Morrows, Barnes & Noble Customer
