Truth Unchanging: Hearing God Daily in the Midst of
Motherhood by Becky Thompson is a devotional book specifically written for
women with children, especially small children. The truths discussed are really
applicable to all women, it is just the personal stories she includes are all
related to motherhood. It can be used daily or weekly based on the readers
preference.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. Thompson’s writing style is
very approachable and enjoyable to read. I really like how she went through the
Bible from Genesis through the New Testament to emphasize eternal truths that
touch us today. The short devotionals are the perfect length and provide a
nugget of truth to ponder through the day. It didn’t always feel like the
personal stories (and occasionally the Bible stories) she included truly
expressed the point that she was making, but the points still came through and
were overall Biblically sound. Anything I felt wasn’t truly correct theology
was small and I don’t believe would cause a spiritual life problem. My
favourite part was the prayers at the end of each devotional, they really hit
the heart of each topic and how to turn to God with it. The issue I struggled
the most with was that the scripture references weren’t mentioned at location
but in the back of the book and I don’t know what the primary translation was,
so don’t know how reliable it is. But overall, I truly did enjoy this
devotional.
