Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Beach is Calling
DaySpring, · 2021
70/100
👍 Worth It
The Beach is Calling is exactly the kind of devotional it promises to be — accessible, warm, and well-suited to a summer morning or a vacation bag. The three-part structure of Scripture, reflection, and prayer creates a steady, useful rhythm, and the beach metaphors feel fresh rather than forced. It is light on theological depth, and ninety entries do produce some repetition, but as a faith-affirming rest-and-renewal companion for Christian women it delivers what it advertises.
