The Happiness Dare~ a book review

Image
Author, blogger, and Christian lecturer, Jennifer Dukes Lee writes “The Happiness Dare”, which teaches the reader how to overcome negativity in life, with the power of the mind, positive thoughts and prayer. In this guide you will learn about the “five happiness styles”, find out which one you are, and the methods one can use to discover happiness every day. Jennifer offers the reader a “happiness dare”, in which one can take, making daily steps towards more happiness in life. Once you take the quiz to find out what your “happiness style is”, you can then apply the principles and suggestions that Jennifer offers to find more happiness. She teaches through God’s Word, and in each chapter of the book, she offers tips that you can do, just 5 minutes a day to move towards more joy and gratitude in life. Each chapter ends with thought provoking questions, helping the reader to “go deeper”. Jennifer uses positive affirmations, as well as, her personal stories to reassure the reader...

Gratutude~ A prayer and Praise Coloring Journal

Image
Just as the title states; this is a prayer and praise coloring journal for meditation, creative journaling, prayer, self-expression, praise and gratitude for God's gifts. This is a beautifully constructed book, in hard cover complete with over 100 pages of colorful, and well planned out prayers and positive affirmations all with Biblical verses included. With every turn of the page you will find different topics with a prayer followed by a Biblical verse, or an affirmation statement. And on the adjacent page will be an affirmation or a simple guide for you to follow, where you can add your comments, thoughts, personal prayers, gratitude lists or whatever your thoughts are. While color is used throughout the journal, making it visually stimulating, there are lots of places and drawings where you can use your creative expression and make it your own. I'm really happy with this selection. And I do plan to use it for meditation and creative output. This journal seems to be...

365 pocket morning prayers~ a book review

Image
This small but powerful book gives the reader 365 days of prayer featured in a soft, leather-like bound 4x6 inch easy to carry book. It is co-titled, "Strength and Joy to begin each day", and co-authored by David R. Veerman and The Barton-Veerman Co. I received this book from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for my honest review. There is a prayer per page written for each day of the week which touches on different topics for just about everything from God's Word, to emotions, storms, faith, celebration, patience, world problems and more. And shorter prayers that seem to fall on the end of the week or weekend days. There is also a topic index at the back of the book, making it perfect for looking up subjects as you may need help with. A nice prayer book in my opinion.

Me Too~ Experience the God Who Understands~ by Jon Weece

Image
Do you feel pain? Are you suffering emotionally? Do people really care? Does God understand? In this book, Pastor Jon Weece shows the reader that God does understand, cares, and loves us. If your life is moving too fast, or bringing you down, let these examples of God’s Grace lead you into peace. In this book, the author teaches us what Jesus did for us, what he continues to do, and will continue to do in this life and the afterlife. Pastor Weece shares from personal stories, where the reader can honestly say, “Me too”. You will learn many facets of Jesus’ love and understanding through chapters that touch on humility, grace, receptivity, responsibility, unity, eternity, and others. My thoughts on the book: While the message is clear and the book is easy to read, it does become a little bit basic and sometimes repetitive, when the author gives his own examples of personal stories. It’s like to say,” Wow, you’ve really lived a full life”; and quite possibly he has. That’s ...

Life is better at the Beach~Inspiration for living each day like you’re at the beach

Image
This book is a collection of 15 “rules” for taking it easy, enjoying life and living every day as if you were at the beach. It’s a collection of inspirational writings to encourage the practice of relaxation. Each chapter or “rule” also includes complementary scriptures to help with your spiritual walk as well. This book has beautiful pictures throughout, all beach related themes, of course. It is hard covered and includes a “To and From” page, making it perfect for gift giving. I enjoyed reading this light, coffee table book. It is nicely written, but not too deep. It would make a nice gift for a friend, but not as a self-help guide. It is not that type of book. As I said, it is light reading and does not go that deep. It’s an easy, light, refreshing, summer read, and great for gift giving. I received this book for BookLook Bloggers in exchange for my honest opinion.
