It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of author Liwen Y. Ho, and I'm delighted that she recently released a non-fiction title! A Month of Musings: On Motherhood, Marriage, & the Mundane (but Meaningful) Moments of Life was such a lovely and gentle devotional book that I wanted to share it immediately.
Book Synopsis
Once upon a time, before Liwen Y. Ho was a romance author, she had a blog. This book is a compilation of her favorite posts on marriage, motherhood, and everything in between. With humor and thoughtfulness, Liwen shares thirty personal stories and the lessons she learned to help you find strength in life’s difficult moments and joy in life’s mundane ones.

Book Thoughts
I appreciated the conversational tone employed in this devotional book, which came across as more of a conversation that you would have with a friend. In these conversations, deep truths emerge about our identity as women and how we live out our faith. I was touched by the thought-provoking questions that Liwen prepared to accompany each story and by her skills as a storyteller. Each theme is relatable and points toward how God can use the day-to-day activities of our lives to bring us closer to Him.
A Month of Musings is far from mundane, and Liwen's expert weaving of anecdotes that read like short stories (including a few unexpected plot twists!) with spiritual truths is a refreshing read. To be able to do both within a blog post turned devotional is an incredible skill and speaks to how well-developed her lengthier stories are! Although I read this book in just a few sittings because it was such a joy to hear from her perspective, I would certainly go back and take the chapters in one at a time. Much like enjoying a delightful dessert at the end of dinner, Liwen's book is a sweet way to reflect upon our days.
