THE SONG: Awaken Love Couple’s Devotional

I have another book that I have been reviewing (with Nick) and am very excited to tell you about!  We have been reading "The Song" 6-week Devotional at night before we go to sleep, and I have to say that this is one that has not only kept me awake, but also challenged each night.  The author, Kyle Idleman, inserts humor and has a great perspective through the Song of Solomon on how we can make our marriages better on a daily basis.  Kyle is also the author of the "not a fan" book if you have heard about or read it.

"The Hardest Peace" book review and giveaway

I am so excited to tell you about this new book that has recently been released.  Written by Kara Tippetts, she shares her life-story and testimony of God's goodness in her life through a lot of hard times, including cancer.  Her raw emotions and honesty drew me in and it was hard for me to put this book down! Her story especially drew me in since I have several friends and family who have gone through or are currently going through cancer treatments.  She speaks of God's peace continually carrying her through the valleys, which is what I pray for each of the people I know in hard spots.

If you would like your own copy, just leave me a comment below.  I will pick a winner this Friday, October 31st.

"Wherever the River Runs" book giveaway

I'm so excited to tell you about the last book I just finished reading!  I first experienced this author a year ago through a Bible study that she wrote called "Nehemiah: A Heart that can Break", and really loved it.  So, when I got the chance to read another book she's written, I jumped at the chance.  Kelly Minter's her newest book titled, "Wherever the River Runs" didn't disappoint me either.  She writes about how God changes our life's path and our heart towards something that we had never even considered.  She moved to Nashville intending to pursue a professional signing career.  In the midst of that not going the way she had planned, she was asked to join a missions trip down the Amazon river.  Her honest perspective on how God opened her eyes and her heart to the people who live there was amazing to read about.  You don't want to miss reading this book!

Check out the trailer for the book here:

If you would like the chance to win your own copy, leave me a comment on this post.  I would love to hear about a time in your life that God's plan was way better than what you had planned for yourself (but that's not necessary to be in the drawing to win).  Winners will be chosen and notified by this Saturday, August 23rd!!!

Ragamuffin movie review and giveaway

I was asked to write a review for the DVD, "Ragamuffin" (released on July 8th), which is a movie based on Rich Mullin's life.  Most Christians have heard the most famous song he wrote, "Awesome God" at one point or another, but the I didn't know the rest of his life-story.  As he struggled with success in Nashville and depression in Wichita, Rich desired most of all to live a life of honest and reckless faith throughout a culture of religion and conformity. His legacy lives on through the songs he wrote, and he was honored by being inducted into the Gospel Music Association's Hall of Fame just this past spring.

This movie revolves around the struggles that Rich goes through in his life and how his faith was affected by others and how he in turn showed Jesus to the people he influenced with his life and his music. It is heart-wrenching at points, but also heart-warming to know that God uses us even when we're broken.
