Letting Go Letting God

Jena Stephans · 2019
72/100
👍 Worth It

This slim 30-day devotional hits a genuinely underserved emotional moment — the hollow, grief-like feeling of dropping your child off at college for the first time — and Jena Stephans writes from lived experience as a mother of six who has been there four times. The daily structure of verse, prayer focus, and practical step is simple but effective. Narrow in audience, yes, but if you are a Christian mom in that specific season this is a thoughtful and honest companion.
