Review: Max Lucado's Fearless


This month I had the opportunity to review the new book Fearless by Max Lucado.

With current economic conditions and so many things topsy-turvy in the world... this book sure puts things back in perspective! Fear has overcome so many people, but being fearless and putting our complete hope and trust in God is what we need to be doing in times like this!

In Lucado's down-to-earth writing style, you'll learn how to face your fears... from the smallest frets to the deepest causes of anxiety. Lucado addresses the fear of not mattering, fear of disappointing God, fear of overwhelming challenges, fear of worst-case scenarios, fear of violence, and even the fear of life's final moments.

The book even has a discussion guide in the back... perfect for use in a Bible study group or for personal use to gain more information on each chapter.

This book was positive, upbeat, and an absolute breath of fresh air. What a great reminder that God does not want us to live in fear! You too can learn how to be Fearless with this fantastic new book... I highly recommend it!

Review: Plain Promise by Beth Wiseman

This week I had the opportunity to review Plain Promise by Beth Wiseman. This is book is a part of the Daughters of the Promise Novel series.

Sadie Fisher is a widow living in Lancaster County, but is faced with many challenges. Her wish is that someone will rent her cottage, but when a bishop moves in things begin to get complicated. Not only does she feel the pressure of having to abide by the Amish rules and ways in his presence, but things take yet another twist when he finds out he has custody of a young autistic son that he does not have a close relationship with!

The book has many unexpected twists and turns, with a fun romantic story weaved throughout. I highly recommend it! You'll even get to enjoy a few traditional Amish recipes tucked away in the back of the book!!
