Sistergirl Devotions

I had the privilege recently to review Sistergirl Devotions. I would have really liked to have had this book when I worked outside the home in an office setting. Many of the emotions and tough issues I was dealing with, Carol Mackey had a devotion for that.

I have a very special friend in mind that will be getting this book for her own use!

If you are looking for a book to give you some encouragement in the workforce while allowing you to stay sane and Christian, you will want to grab your own copy of this book.

Inspiration for African-American Women:
Keeping Jesus in the Mix on the Job

As the editor-in-chief of the esteemed Black Expressions Book Club, Carol M. Mackey has her pulse on African American women and what they’re reading, thinking about and their search for information that speaks to their daily lives and struggles.
Struggles especially crop up at the place where most women spend the bulk of their time: at work. With workplace stresses ranging from bad bosses to gossipy coworkers to a lack of passion for
what you’re getting paid to do, what’s a Christian woman to do? Sometimes it can feel like your faith is putting in overtime, too,
just to get you through the week.
Through her book, Sistergirl Devotions, Mackey speaks to these and other hurdles that working women face through a collection of 90 insightful and inspiring readings. Using Scripture, conventional wisdom and stories from her own experiences, Mackey teaches readers how their faith provides timeless and trusting answers to these daily struggles. Each devotion also offers a “Power Move,” which gives readers actionable tips for applying these principles to their own lives and careers.

Topics that Mackey addresses through these devotions include:

• Making the most of your opportunities at work
• Establishing your identity at work
• How to serve your way to greatness
• Standing up for what’s right
• Managing conflicts and toxic coworkers
• Confronting painful situations with grace
• Bouncing back after a setback
• Keys to managing others
• Striking a healthy work-life balance
• Discipleship on and off the job
• Watch God multiply your talents and gifts
• Remain humble as you achieve success
