Reinvent:  Start Fresh and Love Life!

Publisher:  Faith Words

Reinvent:  start fresh and love life! By Beth Jones is about reaching and embracing your God-given purpose and living the life God intended for you to live.  Beth talks about how we can reinvent ourselves to fulfill our calling in Jesus Christ.  Beth talks about how this can be done biblically by asking ourselves four questions:  What do you want?  What do you have?  What will you do?  And Why will you do it?

Beth takes you through each question in detail to help you answer the question.  At the end of each chapter Beth asks questions that help the reader develop the answers to the four main questions step-by-step.  Beth features Scripture that explain that Christ ‘sees our bigger picture.’  Each Scripture adds depth to the search for God-given purpose and meaning. 

As I read this book, I did a lot of self-reflection.  The message that Beth conveys will also cause you to self-reflect and understand that God’s aim for our life is to live with purpose, and to be joyful within that purpose.  God has a vision for each of us and in our ever-changing lives, we will be reinvented because God always urges us to grow and He is the author of our bigger pictures. 

This book will change the way you think about purpose – especially your God-bestowed purpose.  I also believe this book will also open your eyes to how much God cares about you, your purpose, and wants you to grow and be joyful while you serve Him. 

Happy Reading!

Book Review: Remarkable Hope: When Jesus Revived Hope in Disappointed People

Remarkable Hope:  When Jesus Revived Hope in Disappointed People

Author:  Shauna Letellier

Publisher:  Faith Words

Pages:  204

            Remarkable Hope is about how Jesus brings hope in the midst of disappointment and trial.  Shauna Letellier writes about eight people in the Bible whose disappointment shadowed their hope and faith.  These eight stories are very resonant of our own disappointments we may suffer in our lives.  The ways in which Jesus comes to restore hope in His mysterious and miraculous are powerful and will remind you of how truly great He is.

            This book was truly impactful.  These stories reminded me that there is no trial or any disappointment that Jesus cannot infuse hope back into.  Shauna Letellier writes each person with care and reflects their very human emotions and reactions in a way that are relatable.  Jesus has been infusing hope in our lives for a long time; He is always there watching over us.

            I recommend that you pick up a copy of Remarkable Hope.  This book will remind you that hope is found in Jesus.

Happy Reading!

Book Review: Pull It Off - Removing Your Fears and Putting on Confidence

Pull It Off:  Removing Your Fears and Putting on Confidence

Author:  Julianna Zobrist

Publisher:  Faith Words

Pages:  225

Audience:  Women

Genre:  Christian Living

Pull It Off by Julianna Zobrist is an eye-opening read.  Julianna Zobrist, music artist, fashionista, and speaker writes about fears and where they come from.  With a vulnerable and wise voice, Mrs. Zobrist speaks from the heart of her own challenges with fear and how she met each challenge with her faith.  Mrs. Zobrist takes us on a journey into accepting who we are as God’s children, who He made us to be and accepting ourselves.

A few points that Mrs. Zobrist makes in this book I found to be very powerful.  She states that the power of our words can have a tremendous effect that can impact what we believe of ourselves.  Mrs. Zobrist also points out that we were the intention of God to fulfill a purpose He has ordained for each of us.  These are very important points for every woman to hear as through our journey through life, it is easy to forget Whose we are and how the power of our words can hurt us.

I recommend this book to every woman; whether you are young in your faith or have had your faith tested.  Julianna Zobrist speaks to the heart of every woman of faith with truth, honesty, and faith.  This book is truly inspiring!

Happy Reading!

Book Review: Shaken: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life's Storms

Shaken:  Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life’s Storms

Author:  Tim Tebow & A.J. Gregory

Publisher:  WaterBrook Publishing

Pages:  224

Audience:  Adults

Genre:  Christian Living

Shaken by Tim Tebow is an absolutely inspirational read.  This book is not an autobiography of Tim Tebow’s life however, Tim Tebow does highlight his experiences in his career and life that illustrates how the difficult times in life is met by God’s faithfulness.  Mr. Tebow talks about his feelings as he went through these difficult times which was relatable.  Mr. Tebow’s faith in God and the truth of God’s Word shines through the words he writes. 

Mr. Tebow’s book really speaks to those moments in our lives where we are facing our own giants and amidst our struggles we can reach out to help others in their time of need.  Mr. Tebow makes a poignant point of helping others amidst the struggles we face.  As people we may feel that in our struggles we have nothing to offer another person, however we indeed have the love of God that enables us to reach out to another and give comfort and support.  

I recommend this book to everyone.  This book has a wonderful positive and faithful message.  God is with us always, through each moment of our lives.

Happy Reading!

Jane also encourages the reader to become a “woman of wisdom” and also to learn from other “women of wisdom” in their lives.  Jane writes with insight, compassion, and faith.  She is a true woman of wisdom who has written some of her wisdom to share with all of us.  Thanks Jane!
