Book Review: Thirty Days to Joy

This is such a pretty and delightful little book! I love studying the word joy (it's my middle name!). I am excited to go through this book with it's pretty lettering, inspiring quotes, and Scripture verses. I only wish the verses could be in the KJV version! I'm planning to request the "sister book" thirty days to Peace.

Book Review: Daring to Hope

This is the most recent book I finished. I read Katie's first book Kisses from Katie several years ago after hearing SO much about it. I enjoyed her book very much, so when I saw Daring to Hope, I jumped at the chance to get a free copy through blogging for books. (I occasionally use this site to get free books to read and review – if you're a fellow blogger, check it out!) This book arrived just before our wedding, and I only read a few pages. Surprisingly, it was the first book I reached for once we were settled in and I had time to read again. There were a few days this past month that I just didn't want to put this book down! Even though I may not agree 100% with everything, there is something about Katie's lifestyle and her relationship and walk with God that is very inspiring, even motivating. The lifestyle she has chosen is one that is full of joys and sorrows – and so much different from what we know here in America. What she writes is open and real – and she truly shares her heart in the pages of both of her books. This book brought both tears to my eyes and joy to my heart as I read it. If you enjoyed Katie's first book, you will love this one as well.
