Book Review: Univitied

A friend had recommended this book to me a few months ago. At first when she told me about it, all I could think of was, "Great - yet another Christian book that tells the same old thing; just a new cover and different author."  I told her that I would check it out. I never did.

Enter Book Look Bloggers a couple weeks later when I went to go look for a new book to read and review.

I thought to myself, Ok - there must be a reason why this book was placed in my path. I'll bite...

When I started reading this, my heart was very closed off because I automatically fell into the thought of how this was going to be just like every other Christian book out there.

I was very wrong.

Lysa has a way about getting into the heart and reaching out like she was speaking directly to you, sitting across the table, sipping a latte at a local cafe.

I knew I was dealing with a lot of resentment and anger issues from problems in my past, but man - it really hit me hard once I started reading more and more. I learned how to let go of things that bothered me. Learned that it's ok to be "uninvited" because I am loved by someone greater than any human heart could imagine.

If you are struggling with past experiences, and they are holding you back and putting a blcok on your heart and forcing you to not let others in, I highly recommend reading this book.

Book Review: Doodletopia Fairies

I love to draw.

And I thought this would be a fun book to look at and try.

The drawings are very simple. It's great for kids who are looking for something more than just coloring books. It helps to boost the creativity. Lots of different fairies to draw.
