in the book to free and save so many lives as he teaches each practice he tells stories of how it has worked and even how it goes wrong voss is good about bringing it back to the very practical everyday reasons to use these skills this book may not be for everyone but i found it very compelling i have a feeling will go back to it many times girl wash your face by rachel hollis regardless of the recent negative review of this book that has been circulating the interwebs ladies i hope you take some time to read this book or listen to the audio rachel hollis has a tremendous way of opening up the story of her life so that you can find yourself in her victories and her insecurities simply because you are human i have gifted this book and recommended this book to many and when i do i say rachel and i have so very little in common and i love that the things she loves and that drive her are so far from mine but i think if we got to have coffee or chat on the phone we d be bffs in no time i say this because while our lives look starkly different the thread of common grace the leading of the lord in insane paths of life the risks she tells that she has taken the love she has for her family and her husband all resonate deeply with me and with so many women of all walks of life rachel is an inspiration to many and has a heart of inclusion one of my favorite qualities in humanity pick up a copy of this enjoy her stories and be encouraged and if you are not a reader she has a few different really fun podcasts imperfect courage by jessica honegger jessica honegger founder of noonday collection a fair trade jewelry brand wrote a wonderful memoir full of stories from all the areas of her life each chapter is filled with tells from her inspiring journey jessica invites you in to all different parts of her world with vulnerability and class if every women i know could pick up this book just for the chapter on sisterhood and supporting one another the world would immediately be a better place honegger s stories from her travels abroad to will tug at your heart you will cry when she tells parts of their adoption story and gasp out loud at her bravery you

copy and get one for a friend okay friends that s it for now happy reading what have y all been reading lately posted by amber at 8 17 pm no comments monday september 10 2018 2018 book reviews part 1 it has been way too long since i sat to write book reviews instead of trying to cover all the books i have read since the last 2017 post i just chose 12 that i have read this year and divided them into two posts of six reviews as many of you know i am a life and wellness coach so a good portion of my reading have been in those fields so i am not going to bore you with all of those titles i tried to choose ones that stuck out specifically to me and ones i feel would be great recommendations to the friends who still read these reviews i plan to add a 2018 book review part 3 and maybe even 4 by the end of the year but we will see for now here are a few to browse i hope these are helpful and that you can find some new books to add to your lists taking the word to heart by nancy taylor this book was an amazing way to start the year i read this book the first week or so of the year and it set such a great pace for my heart and mind as i approached my spiritual goals for the year to be honest it is hard to be unbiased in my review of t his book because mrs taylor is such a life mentor faith hero of mine i have looked up to her since my college days and admire her honesty and tenacity she is an amazing wife and mother and now grandmother which are all things reflected in her writings taking the word to heart is an incredible handbook on how to memorize scripture in a practical reasonable and responsible way her approach to memorizing scripture is deeper than just a daily discipline but rather it is a way to see and hear the heart of god grab yourself a copy love lives here by maria goff i was so excited when i found out that maria goff had written a book many of you know of her husband bob goff and have been profoundly impacted by his life i have always wanted to hear what life was like from her side of the story this book is packed full of stories of grace hospitality real life child raising and adventure her stories will have you laughing crying and leave you wonderfully inspired to love others right where god has you invite include welcome and celebrate the people around you and you will be doing exactly what jesus was talking about high performance habits by brendon burchard brendon burchard is a world renowned performance coach that has done extensive research on how and why people succeed and do so happily this book offers up 6 proven habits that help you become a high performer in the field of your choice brendon is deeply practical giving you all kinds of take aways and habits to immediately apply to your everyday life at times you have to do some wading through how awesome he is and how hard he worked to get to this point kind of stories but if you can bare with him through those segments and try to pull out helpful hints within those stories you will be profoundly impacted for the most part his stories are rich with practical advice as he lets you have a sneak peek in to the lives of those he coaches this book comes with supplemental downloads and videos you can get on his website that are a tremendous resource culture care by makoto fujimura vern and i have followed and been intrigued by the work of makoto fujimura for years i have watched videos documentaries heard podcasts and been fascinated by his art but never made time to read this book until now if this is the first you are hearing of mr fujimura please stop reading this review and google his name watch listen and be moved by all you see you are welcome in his book culture care fujimura unpacks the responsibility we have to feed our culture with beauty generosity and creativity and in turn he contends we will be feeding our own souls this book is one to revisit as we wade the waters of current day politics economy and society at large parenting by paul tripp i knew going into this book that i would likely disagree not with the praxis of tripp s parenting advice but more with his premise i was pleasantly surprised that while his premise is much more reformed than the stance our family takes the harshness and sin centric focus that usually comes out from authors in this camp was not a deeply displayed in this book but rather a gracious kind tone i enjoy reading books on all kinds of topics from authors with whom i agree and disagree and the fun thing to me about this book is that it had both paul tripp is a seasoned parent and has been married for over 45 years he is full of insight loaded with experience and offers this to us in a gracious and freeing way through this work you will not walk away from this book feeling weighed down by the burdens of raising your children but you will feel equipped with some practical guidelines as well as freed love your children at each stage while you point them to christ seeing is believing by gregory boyd in this work seeing is believing boyd unpacks for the reader the idea and practice of imaginative prayer he gently walks you away from the i have to keep working and trying hard mentality of spiritual disciplines and towards a restful healing and creative approach boyd leads the reader in the use of their imagination with the intent to experience jesus in a real way he begins the book helping you grasp the use of imagination within prayer for those who are skeptical of it and then takes you through a practical process in which through prayer you experience jesus in a real and meaningful way i highly recommend this book especially to those who desire a rich relationship with jesus imaginative prayer opens up the door for deep healing and incredible spiritual growth happy reading stay tuned for 2018 book reviews part 2 posted by amber at 12 18 pm no comments friday october 06 2017 end of spring and all of summer reads summer is over and fall is

required reading for our hvg staff but had i not i would have very much missed out we read through this in a space of our life that was crazy busy and not very consistent so reading this was a challenge becauese i wanted to give it my entire head space but often only opened the book with 1 3 of my brain j in true manning fashion all his writing requires is for you to take a deep breath open your heart and read he does all the work with his provocative question asking and prolific stories i have so much to say about this book but if you cant find a copy its not easy to get a hold of
