Find Your Brave by Holly Wagner {Book Review}

Good morning Gems!

Thank you for returning to the blog! Today, yet again, is another book review because I am a book nerd and really like sharing the amazing books that I get sent and/or read. One of my goals for 2018 is to read more Christian-based books than fiction novels as I tend to read a lot of fantasy, paranormal or romance novels. Hope this book review inspires you to get a copy!

Synopsis: 
Navigate Life’s Storms and Discover a Courage Like No Other Have you ever found yourself in over your head, wondering how you would possibly get through with your faith and sanity intact? 
Life seems good and then—BOOM!—out of nowhere comes a storm that threatens to drown your hopes. Your storm might be a job loss, loneliness, a crumbling relationship, financial ruin, a serious illness, or the death of a loved one. Whatever it is, you have a choice: Will you cower in fear or will you rise to the challenge? 
Holly Wagner has endured her share of storms. In Find Your Brave she examines the dramatic shipwreck faced by the apostle Paul in Acts 27. There she uncovers profound truths that will guide you safely through life’s most difficult moments. 
Through biblical teaching and personal stories, Holly offers a friendly voice in the midst of overpowering circumstances. She shows you how to anchor your trust in the God who remains faithful in every storm and in whose strength you can Find Your Brave. 

My Rating: 

I am a fan of Lysa TerKeurst, so when I saw that she blurbed the book as follows:
Find Your Brave is the empowering message your heart needs.
That blurb along with the synopsis made me super excited to read this book. First off, the cover is very eye-catching to me. I love how it talks about storms in your life and cover has pictures of waves. The waves look very beautiful and peaceful in a beautiful shade of blue with pops of orange and red. Love the contrast!

Find Your Brave is all about making your anchor during the storms of life your trust in God as He never fails us. God is there is with us through the ups, downs, happy times and devastating times. Keeping yourself anchored in the midst of the storm means keeping in mind that you trust an All Powerful God that has promised to never forsake you. I loved her scriptural references and how she shared her story. I would definitely recommend this book to you all, it's a great read.

If this interest you, I say go grab a copy!

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene...

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is  yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;...
