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.

Book Review: You Are Enough: Heartbreak, Healing, and Becoming Whole

You Are Enough:  Heartbreak, Healing, and Becoming Whole

Author:  Mandy Hale

Publisher:  Faith Words

Pages:153

Genre:  Christian Living

You Are Enough by Mandy Hale is about her journey to discovering just what being “enough” means.  Ms. Hale is very real with her struggles that questions of being enough and the circumstances that brought her to asking, ‘Why am I not enough?’  Ms. Hale also shares so much about the heartbreak, and her journey to the exploration of herself and how she reconnected to God amidst this tough season of her life. She doesn’t hide those real moments of struggle from the reader and the rawness of her words will resonate with every reader as well. 

You Are Enough is so relevant to how we as women can feel at times.  I resonated with Ms. Hale’s journey.  Life’s struggles cause us to question our worth and whether or not we can make it through these struggles.  Despite our doubts, God is always near, He never lets us go.  The struggles are difficult however, you are not alone.  You will make it through.

Happy Reading!
