Text of the page (random words):
ur head when i heard suzanne had come out with her own book focusing more on the positive out workings of the enneagram numbers i grabbed my copy right a way i know that currently the enneagram world of podcasts and books is saturated but this book is worth pushing to the top of your list it is great for someone who knows nothing about the enneagram and for someone who has studied it for years this book is easy to read super insightful and very practical the connected child by karyn purvis david cross and wendy sunshine the connected child is one of those books that has been in my queue for years i have read articles essays listened to lectures and followed the work of karen purvis over the years but never sat down and read completely through this famous work as many of you know we are in the process of adopting a little girl and this book was required reading assigned to us by our adoption agency while this book s focus is particular to adopted children it would be helpful for any parent to read the connected child focuses on helping you parent a child who has had early life trauma they focus on how to help in aiding your child through bonding and attachment helping you identify special needs and in both learning and behavior as well as how to discipline your child in a way that fosters love and care instead of fear this is a fantastic book and i recommend it to anyone considering adoption the bible tells me so by peter enns the bible tells me so is a personal account of enns s journey from a tight fisted defending of the bible to an open hearted honesty about it this book and everything i have read by enns is such a refreshing look at how defending the bible is not the extent of which it was created to open our hearts and minds up to the stories of the scriptures rather than fight about what it is or isn t telling us is to get back to the heart of the bible this book will be a stretch for my friends who have spent their days defending the bible but it is well worth your time to hear from enns my faith has only grown deeper and stronger and my love for scripture more rich by reading enns works i encourage you if you are a bible believer or a total skeptic or somewhere in between to pick up a copy of this book with an open mind and heart and hear how this journey deepened enns s faith hope you find some books to pick up from these reviews thanks for always encouraging me to keep writing these happy reading posted by amber at 7 59 pm no comments tuesday august 13 2019 2018 book review part 3 y all i m not sure what it says about me that it is august 2019 and i am just now posting my 2018 year end book reviews it could allude to the fact that i had a baby or that we ve had a crazy travel season or that i can t tell a lie and just lump these books into 2019 to make it look like i ve been an amazing new mom and ultra reader or maybe it is just that i don t make time for the little things that i enjoy like writing who will ever know i ended 2018 with wonderful reading and somehow must be subconsciously this series of books all match the color scheme of my house apparently i was super nesting haha hope you take some time to scroll through and maybe pick up some of these to enjoy imagine heaven by john burke everyone i have ever known has questions and ideas about heaven what it is what it isn t who will be there how will we know and on and on so many people leaders are afraid to give answers while simultaneously afraid of admitting they may not know john burke bravely enters the world and research of near death experiences nde with an open mind to see if what the bible teaches about heaven lined up with the testimonies of the hundreds who have had documented ndes this book is thrilling and had me crying cheering smiling and in total awe i have to admit i was a little read a lot skeptical about ndes going into this book but the stories in this book made me so excited for what is to come if you have ever lost a loved one been afraid of life after death wondered what the bible actually taught about heaven this book is for you having gone through so many significant losses in my life this book was a sweet balm for the grieving parts of my soul boundaries for your soul by allison cook kimberly miller while i have been charged in the past with over stating my excitement by an abundance of superlative please know there is no way i can over state my recommendation of this book it has the capacity to do so much healing in hearts and lives that i would buy it for each of you if i had the ability cook and miller lay out for us how turn your shame to joy your anger to advocacy and your inner critic into your biggest champion in such practical ways they give us tools on how to engage our thoughts in a way that leads to action instead of shame if you have a loud inner critic if you battle anxiety or being overwhelmed or if you feel like your darkness is too dark for god this is a wonderfully helpful book grab a copy buy two or four and share the love a million little ways by emily freeman a million little ways is beautiful and thoughtfully written emily freeman an artist herself opens your heart to the artist with in you with a little whimsy and a some wonderful story telling she shows you how being made in the image of god a creator himself makes you in your very essence an artist what ever your art may be it is beautiful and significant she helps you take the mundane and see it as the important elements of the beauty of your life dare to lead brave work tough conversations whole hearts by brene brown if you have been around here for long you already know that i am an avid brene brown reader her work has been helping shape my heart since my early twenties and for that i am forever grateful dare to lead is a must read and really work through with your teams for any leader vern and i both read it and then we went through it together as a his voice global team while a lot of her work is helpful to your personal life in dare to lead she takes a journey into working as a team and helps aid you in living wholeheartedly as a leader team member grab a copy for all your people and work together to be brave have tough conversations and live wholeheartedly almost everything notes on hope by anne lamott anne lamott is one of those authors that makes it hard to write a review i mean how do you review such a writer in almost everything anne talks with such candor about just about every topic you could imagine taking you into the depths of her despair and back out by offering her timeless inspiration as a 7 enneagram talk hope it makes sense to you i always have to read lamott along side an light hearted author not because she is a downer but because she is such a candid realist that it makes my 7 heart wince her works always grow me and give me eyes to see things in a new light and her prose is as always impeccable remember god by annie downs i am regularly amazed at the skill in which annie downs invites you into her life with such vulnerability yet does not over share to a bunch of strangers in remember god annie takes you on a journey through some parts of her life that didn t turn out they way she had always hoped she lets you in on the struggle to see god in the midst of it all and in her usual sweet hearted way guides you to her anchor through it all i left this book feeling like i had just had a friend over and we talked about the deepest things of life while simultaneously having a cup of coffee and laughing hysterically this is a great read and a wonderful audio book thanks for always reading my reviews i would love to hear what y all have been reading and hopefully i ll get some book reviews up from this actual year happy reading posted by amber at 8 09 pm no comments friday september 14 2018 2018 book reviews part 2 welcome back if you missed part 1 of this series of book reviews you can just keep scrolling after this one or click here everybody always by bob goff bob goff did it again everybody always is an endearing work full of intriguing stories of a life lived without fear or worry but rather with full abandon mr goff is a remarkable story teller so you will fly through the pages of this book with your mouth dropped open in awe the pages are filled with stories and teachings from his life marked with love and inclusion everybody always that is exactly what his life embodies pick this book up and if you somehow missed his previous book love does grab that too you will laugh cry and try to retell his stories because you are so amazed at all they entail inspired by rachel held evans with a subtitle like slaying giants walking on water and learning to love the bible again i couldn t help but pick this book up and i am so glad i did rachel digs deep into the idea of the bible being inspired and the answers she came to as she opened her mind and heart to exploring what scholars mean by that she re tells rich bible stories in her own poetic rendition while mixing in parts of her own journey to discovery of these truths rachel is a beautiful writer her thoughts are smooth vulnerable and easy to read even on very technical topics like this i really enjoyed this work it challenged me encouraged me and left me wanting to know the god of the scriptures more a mind of your own by kelly brogan md i have followed dr brogan s work and research for years but have never actually picked up her book a mind of your own until earlier this year as a life and wellness coach i am often in the position of helping people in their darkest times dr brogan s research has helped me immensely with this from a medical perspective a mind of your own is geared toward women who struggle with anxiety and depression and are looking for long term solutions beyond and including medication dr brogan writings are laced with medical research and information but readable for all she has a personal and vulnerable approach as she tells her own story going from a practicing doctor with a masters in neuroscience from mit and a md from cornell to a new mother struggling to survive postpartum depression her science based holistic approach helps the reader take a look at everything from blood sugar to thyroid issues and explores the link between gut health and the mind i highly recommend this book to all my only wish is that the title was not limited to women because the information inside is for everyone never split the difference by chris voss never did i think i would read a book written on negotiations i am not a sales y person i hate feeling like i am asking someone to do something they don t want to do i had a friend recommend this book and his pitch to me about it was compelling so i picked it up and i am better for it this book opens your eyes to the process of high stakes negotiation and helps you see how when used for the good of all common practices of negotiations create better listeners caring parents and loving friends mr voss became the fbi s lead international kidnapping negotiator after spending years as a fbi hostage negotiator this book is fill with crazy outrageous stories of using the skill of listening along with the practices he teaches 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 will be inspired to love your friends well broaden your idea of the world and those who fill it collaborate with others on the things you love and give yourself grace along the way grab yourself a 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...
