Unglued Devotional
While I haven’t read the Unglued book, its “accompanying” devotional Unglued is a wonderfully uplifting book itself. It is something that I could read straight through, not waiting for each day’s installment. Lysa Terkeurst becomes a trusted friend, one you know can honestly commiserate with you. There is a depth of honesty that is so refreshing and, frankly, inspiring. Not only does she share her own mommy woes with her readers, but the way she shares her coping mechanisms, self-talk, and prayer, feels almost like a kind of “letter to my daughter” written to us by a Proverbs 31 woman to the younger generation—and she’s not that much older than I! Well, we certainly appreciate it. Her snippets pack a powerful punch while keeping it brief enough that we can enjoy her words of wisdom during a harried breakfast with the kids before school then continue to ponder the memory verse and/or thought for the day throughout our day. She is able to both convict and comfort, giving us perspective and purpose—even as we are struggling to become better guardians for God’s precious charges, we are being molded more and more into His image as well. This is a book I will cherish for some time to come. I look forward to passing it along to my own daughter when she embarks on her own journey of motherhood many years from now.

There are many things in daily life that effect our emotions as women. Each of us handle them in different ways but I think we can all say that at some pointed we have reacted in a way that saddens our hearts. Lysa's devotional, Unglued Devotional, 60 Days of Imperfect Progress, is a daily devotional that addresses our emotions and reactions with truth and honesty from the scripture as well as with compassion, humor and encouragement.

Date:April 10, 2013
I like to start my day with a quiet time that includes cup of something warm along with a reading of a daily devotional. In Unglued the author gives plenty of personal experience and turns it into practical advice that is thought provoking and relatable. Easy to read, enjoy and learn from without being preachy. This is a devotional that I will reach for again.

Today”s review is of Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress by Lysa TerKeurst. I’m not usually the “devotional” type. I prefer to just read through the Scripture. But, when I read the description of this book on Booksneeze, I decided I’d give it a try. It was a topic that interested me, and I really got a lot out of the devotional!
Here is how Lysa describes the book: “As we venture through these pages and apply what we learn, we are going to gain more peace, honesty, and connection in our closest relationships. You are not trapped by the emotional cycles of your past. Hope for change is rising!”
I really need that hope, as I often do feel trapped by my emotional cycles. At first I thought that “unglued” was referring to just losing your cool or your patience in anger. But Lysa shows that coming unglued is losing self-control because of all kinds of different situations: insecurity, fear, hurt, feeling compared, weakness, depression, worry, parenting or marriage problems, or even getting a nasty email from someone! I truly desire to have a more self-controlled life and to come “unglued” much less often. I know this book will help me.
I read it through quickly to do this review. But starting tomorrow, I’m just going to read one devotion a day and meditate on God’s word and Lysa’s thoughts throughout the day. Each day has the following: A Scripture verse, thought of the day, 2-3 pages of the devotion, and a closing prayer. Most days share a story and give very practical tips on what to do to improve.
Here are some of my favorite parts: She gives a plan for dealing with the crazy situations BEFORE they happen so you can react to them calmly. She gives a great outline for how to respond to a mean email (if indeed you need to respond). She lists some wonderful verses for including in notes to people. She helps us realize that the true aim of our anger should be at Satan, not the people in our life who anger us. 1 Peter 5:8-9 says “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith.” Don’t let Satan win in those stressful moments. Resist him!
So, in conclusion I recommend this book to moms who would like to get rid of “unglued” moments in their lives. As you read through it and apply it to your life, you’ll make imperfect progresss! And I pray I will, too!

If you are looking for a short read for each day, this book is great. I found that Lysa's examples really hit home for me and her scriptures and word for the day were very encouraging. I only wish she would've elaborated more on each topic, but I understand it was a devotional so there was no room for that. Guess I'll have to buy the original book, Unglued, as this devotional is based on it.

Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress
By Lysa TerKeurst
Book Description
This companion devotional to the bestselling book Unglued provides encouragement to help readers handle emotional struggles. Including a daily opening Scripture, Thought for the Day, devotion, and closing prayer, this book helps readers begin a 60-day journey in learning to positively process raw emotions, such as fear, anger, and regret.
I have not read Unglued but I don't think you need to read it to understand the devotional. The devotional's purpose is to help keep women from becoming emotionally unglued. The author tries to encourage women to refrain from stuffing their emotions or exploding. Each day begins with a Bible verse and "Thought for the Day" then progresses to whatever she has to say for the day (a.k.a. the devotion) and it ends with a prayer.

I had been wanting to read the companion book to this devotional, Unglued, since I read on Lysa's blog that she was writing it. It is an area I struggle with daily. I LOVE Lysa's approach and manner of speaking. I feel like if I met her in a coffee shop, we'd sit down over our caramel machiattos and laugh and talk like old friends. I am really enjoying this devotional. The daily selections are short enough for a mama who doesn't get many quiet moments to be able to read in a sitting and ponder on throughout the day. They topics are very relevant and her points are scriptural and realistic. If I had one negative, it would be that I feel like I just want a little bit more each day, and I think maybe that this devotional would be even more powerful if read as an accompaniment to the original book. That said, I recommend it for anyone who struggles with controlling their behavior when in highly emotional situations, particularly those who "stuff" and then explode (ahem.... I can relate to that one.) I'd recommend this devotional, particularly if read in conjunction with the original book, because it would benefit from a little more depth which I think the original book would help provide.

this 60 day devotional is for the woman who lets her emotions control her. it gently guides you on how to make your emotions work for you rather than against you. it's so easy to come unglued when others irritate, disappoint, criticize or do other things that bump into our happy. each day starts with scripture, a thought for the day, a 2 - 4 page devotional and ends with a prayer.
this devotional is to accompany the unglued book lysa wrote. i haven't read that book yet but am really thinking i should. from reading the devotional, i'm thinking it can stand alone on it's own and wouldn't think it necessary to read the book first.
i really enjoyed this devotional. the lessons were short, easy to read and easy to understand. i was easily able to relate it to my life. lysa is honest and speaks from experience, not candy coating her own trials or poor choices she made in allowing her emotions to control her.
lysa offers Biblical advice on dealing with naughty littles, trusting in God when we are fearful, being wronged by friends, disappointment, abrasive people, conflict and aching hearts. there were so very many days that i could relate with every single word she was saying. i am sure one mama that needs to learn how to control her emotions.

I have not read Unglued but I don't think you need to read it to understand the devotional. The devotional's purpose is to help keep women from becoming emotionally unglued.

Each day begins with a Bible verse and "Thought for the Day" then progresses to whatever she has to say for the day (a.k.a. the devotion) and it ends with a prayer. My favorite part was the personal stories. Some that had to do with being a wife and mom didn't directly apply to me but were still fun to read. I like that each day is short and easy to read. I read through the book in way less than 60 days. The Unglued Devotional is different than most devotionals in that the emphasis is on how not to become unglued in your life rather than learning more about the attributes of God or a specific book of the Bible.

Review 12 for Unglued Devotional
Overall Rating:
Nice Read
Date:February 27, 2013
Lysa Terkeurst’s Unglued Devotional attempts to help women “live in the grace of making imperfect progress, be a more positive role model, and know with confidence how to resolve conflict.”
This is a 60 day journey with a daily reading of a Bible verse, Thought for the Day, devotional, and ending prayer. The readings are short and written in a conversational tone often infused with humor that made for an enjoyable read.
The author draws from her life experiences to highlight issues that arise that can lead someone to become unglued. But it is more than that. The author does not just merely rant about situations that arise, but rather shows the reader the grace of God found in such situations. The goal is evident in each devotional--addressing the situation, an introspective analysis, conflict resolution, lasting change.
This devotional does not seek to appease the reader’s unglued reactions but rather seeks to draw attention to the causes-one’s own heart issues- and the solution-Jesus.
Each day’s reading is short and to the point. The author’s conciseness and templates for achieving conflict resolution provides the reader with applicable reference material.
I would recommend this devotional to anyone who is committed to make life changes so as not to become unglued.

I am a wife, mother, leader, employee, and many other things on any given day. I can easily become unglued over a small thing or a mountain on any given day. Lysa Terkeurst in her new series, Unglued, gives practical ways to make imperfect progress in hopes of correcting unglued situations and behaviors. I have been leading the Unglued DVD series at my MOMSnext group and have learned so much from her teaching. That is why I was excited to get my hands on the devotional book she wrote.
If you are like me and have read Jesus Calling several times, this is a great devotion book to pick up. There are 60 days of devotions included and I would recommend reading at least twice!
Each day starts with a verse:
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:2
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:2
Then a thought for the day:
Choosing a gentle reply doesn't mean you're weak; it actually means you possess a rare and godly strength.
Choosing a gentle reply doesn't mean you're weak; it actually means you possess a rare and godly strength.
After the days devotion, she ends with a short prayer:
Dear Lord, I accept the challenge to hold my tongue in order to honor, give grace, and have compassion for others. Please give me strength to do this today. Thanks so much. In Jesus' name, Amen
Dear Lord, I accept the challenge to hold my tongue in order to honor, give grace, and have compassion for others. Please give me strength to do this today. Thanks so much. In Jesus' name, Amen
The example above is from Day 47. What a great way to start any day! Each day is a reminder that I can make a choice in how I treat and respond to others. And it will help break the cycle of being led by emotions rather than the Holy Spirit!

Lysa Terkeurst in her new book “Unglued Devotional” published by Zondervan gives us 60 Days of Imperfect Progress.
From the back cover: Imperfect progress in 60 days?
Lysa Terkeurst, like most women, has experiences when others irritate, disappoint, criticize or do other things that bump into her happy. We come emotionally unglued as we stuff, explode or react somewhere in between. Is it really possible to make emotions work for us instead of against us?
In this companion devotional, Lysa builds on the teaching from the bestselling book “Unglued” to encourage more peace and calm in your relationships. During this 60 day journey you will:
Live in the grace of making imperfect progress even on those days when your emotions throw you for a loop.
Be a more positive role model to your family and coworkers as you shift from overreacting to speaking life-giving words.
Know with confidence how to resolve conflict in your closest relationships
Be a more positive role model to your family and coworkers as you shift from overreacting to speaking life-giving words.
Know with confidence how to resolve conflict in your closest relationships
Including a daily opening Scripture, Thought for the Day, devotion, and closing prayer, this book will help you make progress in how you react to break the cycle of exploding or stuffing your emotions.
Why do we need a new daily devotional? All of us have emotions. Sometimes our emotions overwhelm us and we become “Unglued”, we fall apart and these emotions take control. We either explode like an atomic bomb or we stuff that same energy inside us and make ourselves sick. We are imperfect people. Lysa Terkeurst is an imperfect person and she provides us 60 daily devotions on how to deal with those emotions that cause us to lose it. “Unglued Devotional” is not a time-consuming read. Each devotional starts with scripture, followed by a Thought for the Day, followed by the devotional and then concluding with a prayer. They are only a page or two in length but they are oh so helpful to properly channel our energies in the right direction. If we use these daily devotionals correctly we will all be the better for it.

Oh so many times I feel like I have come "unglued" ~ as Lysa calls it. I call it~ "loosing it." This is a great devotional. As women~ we juggle many different roles and feel stress from all the people in our lives pulling us in all different directions. Sometimes we feel like we are coming unglued.
This book contains 60 devotions to help us realize that as long as we are walking with God ~He can take our human thoughts and feelings and help keep it all together. Lisa gives us some practical helps along with Biblical advice that will help us grow into women who control their emotions instead of over-reacting to the stresses of everyday life. She shares Godly advice and scripture to help us resolve conflicts rather than drive wedges in out relationships.
As we mature ~ we realize the damage our mouths can do so we meekly learn how to stuff our emotions. This in time is like a time bomb that will eventually explode. Lisa helps women learn how to deal with the issues at hand to keep that from happening.
Each devotion starts with an opening scripture~ a thought for the day ~ a devotion and a prayer. Lisa Terkheurst is a New York Times best selling author and a national speaker. She is the president of Proverbs 31 ministries. Her devotions are read by over 600,000 women worldwide on a daily basis. She has been a blessing to many and you will be blessed by this devotional.
I have started my 60 day journey to imperfect progress. I love this devotional and rate it 5 stars. This is a devotional that every woman should read~ great book!

The subtitle of this book says it all: Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress. Most of our progress goes that way, after all, making changes over time, making mistakes, picking ourselves up and trying again thanks to God's amazing mercies new every morning. It's progress, but imperfect progress.
And that's okay. Sometimes we don't even feel like trying to overcome things like emotional pitfalls and our out-of-control tongue or our broken relationships because we're afraid of failing. This book encourages us to just start moving forward.
If you've read Lysa TerKeurst's book, Unglued, this 60-day devotional simply breaks down the basic themes of the book into small daily bites. It's "review" in a good way, in a way that slows you down and makes you think and apply what you're reading instead of rushing through chapter after chapter and never really putting it all into practice.
This devotional can also stand alone for those totally unfamiliar with the original book. It covers how we react and respond to others and to stress, how to boss our emotions around instead of letting them control us, and how to improve our relationships within our homes and outside of them.
Ever-practical and always downright open, vulnerable and real, Lysa TerKeurst is the perfect guide through this journey to emotional control not because she's got it all figured out and is perfect, but because she's willing to tell about her own struggles to learn these lessons. And we need that. We need someone to be honest enough to say, "Hey, I've been there, sometimes I'm still there, and I can tell you there is victory with Christ."

I was able to review Unglued Devotional by Lysa TerKeurst. As a busy mom to 4 kids, I love how this devotional is broken down into very quick, easy-to-read segments. The reading for each day is 1-3 pages and takes just a few minutes. I know the purpose of a devotional is to daily reading. However, I was unable to read just one a day. Each time I turned the page, I felt like Lysa TerKeurst had somehow snuck into my house and witnessed the sibling fights, the messy rooms and the times when as a mom I feel like I have messed it all up. This is an honest devotional that asks you to take an honest look at yourself and who you are when no one is looking. I was convicted, encouraged and felt like I made a new friend. This is a devotional but Lysa TerKeurst has written an actual book as well to go along with this. For this mama, it would be a very welcome gift for Valentine’s Day! I urge you to look for this and read it for yourself. Even if you’re not a mom, there is still wisdom to be gained from reading Unglued Devotional.

Sometimes you need a friend to talk to on a daily basis or a resource where you can go to when you are having a bad day. Lysa Terkeurst book is just that. Her book Unglued Devotional is a companion to my life. It has a daily scripture, thought for the day, Lisa's interpretation, and a daily prayer. I read this book before I go to work so I can focus on the Lord as my day progresses. My wishlist for this is to have a few blank pages where I can write my own interpretations.

Lysa TerKeurst shares moments of her daily struggles with us, welcoming us to an intimate and warm perspective to the problems that are encountered everyday. She then connects her struggles to those like ours and then addresses these issues using biblical sources, and provides practical solutions to these problems.
Lysa is able to express emotions and problems in an honest and transparent format that engages the audience, and influences change for the better. Even more so, Lysa is able to emphasize the application of biblical truths for our contemporary lives.
However, Lysa only addresses females in regards to this topic of emotions. Though there is no biblical support for the difference of gender in regards to emotions. When the Bible advises us to guard our heart, it does not mention gender.

Are you familiar with Lysa TerKeurst? She is the President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. I read her other book Made to Crave. I had heard about her new book Unglued but have not read it. Today I'd like to share with you the Unglued Devotional.
My thoughts:
This book has 60 devotionals that are a 2-3 pages each. They are easy to read in a short amount of time and are extemely relevant for every day life. I like the idea the author presents that we are not going to be perfect but that we can make "imperfect progress." I recommend this book to you. The devotionals here made me think about my own reactions to situations in our home and in relationships. I also enjoyed how each devotional had a "thought for the day." I hope you will check this out and be encouraged as I was.

Thank you to Zondervan for providing this book for my honest review.
