Milk and Honey for a Woman’s Soul by Carey Scott - A Review

Not yet published - Expected 1 Mar 26

Milk and Honey for a Woman’s Soul is a beautifully refreshing devotional overflowing with encouragement and reminders of God’s unwavering promises. Carey Scott offers a gentle, Scripture-centered collection of reflections that speak directly to a woman’s heart, especially during seasons of hardship, change, or emotional overwhelm. From the first page, this devotional feels warm, grounding, and deeply nourishing—like stepping into a quiet place of rest.

Each of the 180 entries opens with a verse from Scripture, followed by a short and heartfelt devotion, and closes with a simple prayer. The structure makes it incredibly easy to incorporate into daily quiet time. The devotions themselves are down-to-earth, relatable, and written in a “short and sweet” style that makes them accessible no matter how busy your day is. Each reading is rooted in biblical truth and offers a meaningful spiritual takeaway to ponder.

Scott beautifully reminds us that the comforts we cling to in this world are only temporary, gently guiding our hearts back to the God who remains constant through every season. Her reflections feel especially timely, offering steady reassurance and grounding hope in His unchanging promises—comfort we all need when life feels unpredictable. The range of topics she covers is thoughtful and relatable, written through a woman’s perspective in a way that makes each day’s reading feel personal, relevant, and deeply connective.

The physical beauty of the book deserves its own mention—the honeycomb-themed cover is truly lovely, warm, and inviting. It fits the tone of the devotional perfectly and would make this book a delightful gift for birthdays, bridal showers, Mother’s Day, or as a meaningful companion to someone’s private worship time. I also appreciated the Scripture Reference section included at the end of the book—it’s a thoughtful and helpful addition that makes returning to specific themes or verses incredibly easy.

“While He may not answer in our timing or in the ways we’d hoped, we can trust that our Father’s generosity will bless us according to His perfect will.”

Overall, Milk and Honey for a Woman’s Soul is a meaningful, heartfelt devotional—a gentle companion for daily spiritual reflection. The comforting tone, scriptural grounding, and beautiful design make it a joy to read and a wonderful resource for women seeking encouragement, guidance, and renewed focus on the Lord. I highly recommend it for personal use or as a thoughtful gift.
