Crafted in Faith by Monica Stoltzfus is 'A Craft Devotional for Christian Women.' This is a unique daily devotional that comes with thirty days of crafts and God’s Word. This ideal resource is designed for women as a means to clear the mind, take a break, and breathe when life is overwhelming by providing lessons and activities. The devotionals are short and easy to understand, giving enough to be thought-provoking without being overwhelming. These are perfect for women to take time for themselves in a way that is hands-on and creative while studying God’s message. Each devotional focuses on a specific theme that incorporates Scripture and personal experience and has space where you can make notes. The crafts require simple materials that can often be found around the house. For example, crafts such as handmade cards, upcycled vases, and jewelry.
A range of themes is explored through each devotional; however, each one focuses on a specific aspect of God’s Word. These include becoming more confident, how to give concern to God, and trusting in His plans for your life. The lessons cover topics such as holding onto joy, growing in faith, and relying on God’s answers for guidance. A personal touch is woven into each devotional with references included from Monica Stoltzfus’ experiences such as bringing up her daughter. This gives the book a genuine touch that allows you to connect with the messages. The tone remains positive throughout, providing you with an uplifting study that offers encouragement and comfort. The crafts are simple with each devotional having a different one that pairs with the topic and comes with supplies generally available. For example, having hope in God’s promises is paired with a rustic memory board, and finding strength in the Holy Spirit is paired with a gold foil-pressed journal. This makes it so that the crafts don’t cost money or create stress about completing the activities so the focus remains on God. These are fun and peaceful activities such as abstract painted pots and mini decoupage floral magnets. Crafted in Faith is a fun and interactive devotional perfect for the craft-minded reader with hands-on activities, space for notes, and thought-provoking lessons.
