Simplify--A Must Read

I loved this book! It came at very stressful point in my life and I needed the perspective to step back and simplify what my husband, my family, and I were doing. Each chapter is broken down into manageable actions and steps. I felt like it was a breath of fresh air to my overwhelmed lifestyle. The reflection questions were incredible and led to amazing discussions between my husband and I. Simplify helped us identify the areas we were not giving over to the Lord and helped us to see the changes we wanted to make in our lives to make more room for Him. This book even helped us make the very difficult decision to change jobs into something we felt better fit our family as a whole.

I found myself dog-earing every page and wanting to tell everyone all of the tidbits I had been learning. It is a very freeing read and I highly recommend Simplify to everyone! It covers topics that range from work to finances to forgiveness to peace to relationships to seasons of life and true satisfaction. Pastor Hybels writes in an engaging and straight-forwad way that makes you want to keep reading and learn more. My walk with Christ was deepened as a result of reading this book because it helped me to slow down and truly evaluate how I am using my time.

I received this book for free from Tyndale Publishers. These opinions are my own.

Prayers for Prodigals

Parenting is often a hard and lonely road we walk. Having a prodigal child can make it even more isolated. Prayers for Prodigals is a wonderful resource for when you are feeling despair on your parenting journey. Each day is a verse to meditate on and a heartfelt prayer filled with scripture to uplifted encourage, and renew your weary soul.  I especially liked having prayers when it felt like my own prayers had run dry. To have pre written prayers for your child can be such an encouragement when you are feeling lost and hopeless.  This devotional will surely remind you of the power of prayer and the power of God to work in your life and your child’s.  #PrayersforProdigalsUpdatedandExpanded #NetGalley

Dangerous Love: A True Story of Tragedy, Faith, and Forgiveness Review

Wow! I was not able to put down Dangerous Love. It is a riveting, heartbreaking, faith inspiring true story about a father and daughter who must face the unthinkable:  forgiveness in the face of no remorse. Ray and his daughter Hannah show true love that only comes from faith in Christ. Living in Mauritania as World Relief workers, they see the good, the bad, and the ugly of cross cultural living. Throughout the whole book, you are amazed at their faith and the love they show. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to see their faith in God restored. It's such an uplifting and incredible reminder of how God's love for us is like Ray and Hannah and their family's love shown to their attacker. Completely undeserved...but what an amazing God we serve who not only showed us this love but enables us to shower others with it, too. A must read!!
