Synopsis:
You have been lied to! Have you been deceived? Through a nationwide survey and in-depth discussion groups, Nancy and Dannah have listened carefully to the heart of your generation. And here are some things they’ve heard:  
“I know God should be the only thing that satisfies, but if it could be Him and my friends, then I could be happy.” 
"It seems like I have been struggling with depression forever. I always feel like I am not good enough.” 
“I tell myself that I don’t really listen to the song lyrics, but once I hear a song a few times and start thinking about what they’re saying I realize that it's too late. It's already stuck in my head." 
"For me, the whole wife and mom thing is overrated. It isn’t cool to want a husband and a family.” 
Maybe you can identify. Trying to listen to the right voices can be difficult. This book has been written by friends who will help you find the Truth. Maybe your heart is telling you that some things in your life are way off course. Certain habits and relationships have left you confused and lonely. This is not the way it’s supposed to be. 
In this book, Nancy and Dannah expose 25 of the lies most commonly believed by your generation. They share real-life accounts from some of the young women they interviewed, along with honest stories about how they’ve overcome lies they themselves believed . They get down in the trenches of the battle with you. Best of all, they’ll show you how to be set free by the Truth. 
My Rating: 
This book has completely wrecked my spirit. I mean seriously. It has taken me 4 and a half months to complete this book and I am glad that I took my time with reading it. I initially received this for review and then decided to do this book with the bible study with my 13 year old sister. I have only gotten to chapter two with my sister, but I personally finished reading and annotating this baby up for myself.

This book reminded me of the younger me I thought was healed and long over things. This book revealed new things about the younger me that I never thought of or knew. I love how Nancy and Dannah kept this biblical and included and galore of scriptures to back up their points.

This includes personal stories from both Dannah and Nancy as well as stories from other women. I loved reading through them and then seeing how it correlated with my personal life and scripture.

Everything mentioned in this book from beauty to friends to social media to sex to family and more...it all was perfection. I highly recommend this to 7th graders on up. Even if you're an adult, read this because it can help you heal your younger self.

I am so glad I read this book and cannot wait to dive into the other books within this series:
- Lies Women Believe
- Lies Men Believe
- Lies Girls Believe

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;

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

CSB Study Bible for Women {Bible Review}

Good morning loves! I'm starting a new layout when it comes to doing my Bible reviews just because they need a more in-depth post than my book reviews. I created a new way that will help me share more info about each Bible so I hope this helps you all! Today's review is on the The Study Bible for Women in the CSB translation and I am so excited to do this review.
