Liturgies for Hope

Liturgies for Hope are the prayers we all need in this turbulent and unknown times. Sometimes when you don’t know the words to pray, reciting the heart of another’s laments, joys, hopes, and pain can be peaceful and help you to put words to your own unexpressed feelings. It’s a springboard for a deeper time of being with God. 

These prayers were like a balm to my soul when I was unable to put a finger to what I was feeling and thinking for a myriad of daily things both big and small. 

In “A Liturgy for the Aftermath of a Crisis,” I found great comfort and a sense of being seen when the authors wrote: “Would You walk this road of recovery with us, speaking peace to our fragile, forgetful minds, refreshing us with the truth that we are always sustained by Your hand?” This is just a small sampling of the truth, hope, and comfort that you will find in these pages. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to jumpstart their prayer life, infuse hope into pain, celebrate the joy of the ordinary, or bring the wide array of emotions of life to the Lord. 

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Postage Stamp Vegetable Garden

The Postage Stamp Vegetable Garden is a must read for new gardeners! My four year old son and I have been wanting to start a garden and when I saw this book up for review on Blogging for Books I just knew I had to get it. And it did not disappoint! I learned everything I need to know to plant an awesome vegetable garden. The book is chock full of great advice and information including garden maps and a list of every vegetable with information on how to best grow each variety. The author gives great advice on soils, compost, where to plant, how to plant, and when to harvest. I can't recommend this book enough! Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. I will have it with me year-round as I am growing my first crop of veggies. I received this book for free from Blogging For Books. These opinions are my own.

The Christian Parenting Handbook

I've been reading The Christian Parenting Handbook and it's great! Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller wrote the book and say you will learn how to:  Identify character qualities to address problems Build internal motivation Use creativity to teach your kids spiritual truths I love the way the book is set up with 50 short chapters on different parenting tips, common problems, and biblical truths. It's perfect to pick up and read whenever you have a free second. They offer real, practical, and biblical advice. I really appreciated the way the authors gave concrete examples and how to  implement them into your family.  One of my favorite chapters is titled "Don't Practice In The Grocery Store-That's The Final Exam." It's all about what to do when your child acts out in public. They wisely suggest that you, "practice in the kitchen, bedroom, laundry room, and backyard. Children need to learn how to handle disappointment at home so they can accept a
