Powerful and Amazing

Oh how I love everything about this new Bible study!  Our Father: A Study of the Lord’s Prayer” by Becky Harling is a 6-week dive deep into the well known verses of Matthew 6:9-13.  Through the lessons of this book, organized into 5 days of study each week, we uncover and discover so much about the heart of God and how He wants and invites us to pray.  Through this we deepen and enrich our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Worth Its Weight In Gold!

Have you ever read a non-fiction or how-to book where one of the tips or teachings inside just stood out to you, and you were like “if that was the only thing I gained from this book, it would still be totally worth my time and money”?  Well this was the case for me with a new guide to cooking – but I kept saying this same thing over and over and over again about nearly every page!  Which means, basically, that this book is priceless and should be read by everybody who intends to ever cook anything in their lives… Continue reading

Challenging – But So Worth It

Each and every title in the Moody Bible Studies for Women has been a special blessing for me in one way or another, and the newest addition to the series is no exception.  Promises Kept: 5 Old Testament Covenants and How Christ Fulfilled Them” by Courtney Reissig takes us deep into the Old Testament as we unpack what the far-reaching word ‘covenant’ really means, and how it applies to the promises God made to His children.   Continue reading

Take Your Bible Reading To The Next Level!

I often enjoy doing Bible studies where we zoom in on certain chapters, books, or topics within the Word.  Sometimes though, I need to challenge myself and branch out into doing my own personal readings of the Bible, without the commentary and questions that a study book provides.  But… I feel a little lost sometimes in how to get started!  That is where this new volume published by Moody and written by James F. Coakley comes into play, and is such a great help to me.  14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible” is a treasure trove of insight, wisdom, and practicality that helped me take my personal reading (and enjoyment) of God’s Word to the next level!

Kelly Balarie’s Most Powerful Book Yet

I have found that books by Kelly Balarie are difficult to review for one simple reason: there is such a vast amount of information and teaching inside each chapter that I’m rather at a loss of how to even touch on a small portion of it!  Her new release from BakerBooks, entitled “Take Every Thought Captive: Exchange Lies of the Enemy for the Mind of Christ” is completely overflowing with insights and wisdom, yet remains very practical and ‘doable’ for women in any phase of life. Continue reading

This Book NEEDED To Be Written

Paul Angone has written a book that I firmly believe everyone of my generation needs to read (and if we’re being honest, anyone living in this day and age would benefit from it!).  Listen To Your Day: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention” is a truly incredible book for two reasons: its profoundness, and its simplicity.  With his signature wit and wisdom, Paul helps us to uncover what is holding us back from our purposes, what is hindering us from whole-body health, and what is keeping us from truly feeling happy with the trajectory of our days. Continue reading

A Much-Needed Book For Today

We can get overwhelmed by the enemy’s roars to the point that we no longer hear the loudest roar of our mighty God and the truth of His Word.”  Isn’t that the case?  I know it is for me.  With this insightful statement ringing in our ears, author Judy Dunagan goes on to show us that we CAN fight the roars of the enemy because we have Jesus Christ, who has already won the battle, on our side.  Published by Moody, “The Loudest Roar: Living in the Unshakable Victory of Christ” is a powerful little volume that will encourage, inspire, and challenge us to live as though victory is ours – because it IS! Continue reading

Convincing AND Convicting!

I did not expect to be convicted by a book about the practice of Hygge, but surprisingly enough, I was!  (In the best, and most God-inspired way, of course.)  Holy Hygge: Creating A Place For People To Gather And The Gospel To Grow” was written by new-to-me author Jamie Erickson, and published by Moody in the last months of 2022.  This insightful, practical, and challenging book was an eye-opener for me in SO many ways, and I am very glad to have read it.  Here are just a few reasons why I recommend “Holy Hygge” to you as well: Continue reading

Wow – What An Amazing Book – Or Should I Say Battle Plan?


When I pick up a book by Susie Larson, I know that I will be challenged, humbled, and provided with so much wisdom and godly strength that I will not be able to remain unchanged after reading it.  Strong in Battle: Why the Humble Will Prevail” is her newest release from Bethany House Publishers, and is perhaps her most powerful work yet.  I honestly gained so much from this book that it’s hard to describe… but I shall do my best, because it deserves accolades in abundance.   Continue reading
