Journal Review: Ellie Claire 365 Devotionals
It’s my pleasure to once again bring Ellie Claire journals to you for review. I can’t tell you how excited I am to do this. I am someone that lingers in paper and journal aisles, smelling the paper, tracing the covers with my finger. Believe me when I say I truly love sharing these thoughts with you.
DESCRIPTION
We pray for peace. We beg for it from others. We make speeches about it. But in the end, the only peace most of us can control is that little portion we display for the world to see. If we are at peace, the chaos around us seems to calm down. Our peace affects others. And the giver of peace awaits to give us the gift that can change our world. It begins with a prayer. It begins with me.

My thoughts on the PEACE BEGINS WITH ME: I love this journal. Anxiety is a real deal, I’ve been there. I love people who struggle. The cover for this journal even looks relaxing and works for either gender. Each devotional is short with an on target, Biblical message that delivers peace. Each day also has ample writing space to journal thoughts. My only negative is the interior back cover has a design that’s kind of jarring to look at, especially if the theme of the journal is peace. Overall, I love this journal and definitely recommend it.

TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS
DESCRIPTION
When life gets busy, it’s easy to forget to spend time with God. This 365-day devotional journal offers encouraging meditations to help you spend a few moments turning your eyes on Jesus before your hectic day begins. After short devotions and Scripture for each day of the year, you will also find light journaling lines and ample space to record your thoughts, hopes, and prayers—just what you need to start each and every day with the reminder that God is always by your side.
THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S AND EVERYTHING IN IT JOURNAL
DESCRIPTION
From the small whisper of a snowflake to the large circumference of a baobab tree, all of nature is the creative expression of God. When we embrace His creative nature by taking the time to stop, notice, and connect, our hearts are encouraged and souls refreshed. Respond to the devotions, add your own creative writing, or keep track of prayers on the journaling lines.
My thoughts on THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S AND EVERYTHING IN IT JOURNAL: I am a visual worshiper, a lover of nature. His creation makes me come alive. That’s the theme of this journal, the beauty around us and that God created it all. He is constantly wooing us, and I love that this journal showcases these themes in words and in the ability to write our thoughts. I don’t love the cover, but I realize peacocks are a good representation of His stunning work. It’s a sturdy journal with flowers on the page edges along with the peacocks. I can think of several people who would love this journal. I definitely recommend it!

Final thoughts: There isn’t a dud in this bunch, I love them all. The themes are all beautiful for journals and give both appropriate devotional thoughts and space to write. They are all sturdy and a perfect size to throw in a bag and take with you. The pages are crisp and appealing to read and write on. Although there were a couple minor visuals I didn’t love, it’s not enough for me to change my mind. Any and all of these journals are perfect for you and the devotional reader in your life.
I received these journals from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All words within the actual review are my own.
