I enjoy sharing some of the gems I come across in my reading, and this book is no exception. The title, Gimme Some Sugar: 90 Devotions to Sweeten Your Day in a Godly Way, immediately drew me in. Author Linda Kozar, who hails from Texas, has written a delightful devotional book.
As I started reading, I couldn’t help but remember my experience with Southern living. My husband Randy’s first military assignment in the Air Force was Shaw AFB in Sumter, South Carolina. Growing up in the “North,” I had my introduction to Southern charm there–and I loved it! Neighbors greeted us with their warm, friendly drawls. Frequent Invitations to stop by for sweet tea and cookies made me feel welcome. Whenever I came to visit with our two young sons in tow, my Southern friends would often say, “Gimme some sugar,” with arms outstretched, ready to receive hugs from our little boys. Linda Kozar’s book made me feel right at home.
“Sweet” is how I would describe this book! Each bite-sized chapter is filled with wisdom, sometimes humor, and that unmistakable “sprinkle” of Southern charm. The devotionals begin with a Bible verse, then focus on a particular topic, followed by a “Sweet Spoonful” of wisdom to tie it all together. A meaningful quote is found on the opposite page. This book is perfect for finding inspiration when you only have a few minutes to read. It’s a small, but beautifully designed book, and each page packs a punch! You will love it!
I’m excited to have one copy of Gimme Some Sugar to give away. Just leave a comment and I’ll enter your name in the drawing!
