Out of the spin cycle

Out of the spin cycle, by Jenn Hatmaker. I originally read this book when it was first released 6/7 years ago and loved it. So I was thrilled to see it come back out! I also was surprised since due to her and her husbands recent controversy that it was! But kudos to the publisher that stood behind a good author with good books and good truths. Just because we may disagree on a small area of her theology doesn't mean we should throw it all out! This book is seriously hilarious. It is so real! I love the devotions, I love the stories, I love her sense of humour! She's real. She doesn't act as if her life is all put together. She has such a heart for women to have real relationships with Jesus and with each other! I could read this devotional over and over again. It never gets old! I've recommended it so many times! She is definitely one of the greats!!

Overcoming toxic parenting

Overcoming toxic parenting, how to be a good parent when yours wasn't, by rick Johnson.  I often think about how people who grew up in good Christian homes have such an amazing legacy that they will be able to leave to their children! I love it! I grew up in a single parent home, seeing very little of one very absent parent. I've often struggled with what I'm passing on to my children. I don't want to pass on the negative things,  the wounds to them. I want to be able to overcome those things and leave them a legacy of Christ centredness, of wholeness, etc. This book came at the perfect time! ❤️ He addresses the healing we need, how to find that healing and how to adapt healthy habits and parenting practices. To raise a family well. I love it. I think it might have been written just for me!

Without rival

without rival embrace your identity and purpose in an age of confusion and comparison, by Lisa Bevere.  I think all women at one time or another struggle with comparing ourselves to others. It's hard not to! Especially in this time when information is at our fingertips! When social media makes it so easy to portray our best us to the world while hiding the real side of ourselves. Other people look so put together! I haven't always been a big fan of Lisa Bevere, I find hat I do disagree with her ideas on submissive wives. But as with everything pick out the meat! She wrote this book at a time when I feel it's desperately needed. We need to know who God created us to be and that he is the source of our identity. We need to look to Him. I was so excited to see this being offered for review! I even bought a copy of this book to gift it out. This is one every women would benefit so much from!

I love the explanations of why we should, how to and even a guide! This is great! It makes something that can feel so intimidating feel so easy to get into. I Love that! THis is definitely one I will be putting into place in my family! So good!! I really can't say enough good things about this book!!!!
