Kregel Book Review: I could use a nap and a million dollars by Jesse Clemence

This book my husband keeps picking up and glancing at.  The title is catchy and it fits the author's style-- of humor and attention getting perspective to connect the reader to the advice she's giving.  But what I found so refreshing was the fact that her advice is grounded in the Word of God, as the subtitle says, "Biblical Alternatives to Stressed Out Living." 

Here are some things I appreciate about the book:

• This book is easy to read, entertaining, grounded in the Word, with poignant tales of the author's life and experiences as well as connections to the Bible. 
• Every chapter (and they are not very long) closes with three focuses; make it personal, scripture connection, and a prayer for today.  
• Make it Personal are questions for you to connect to your life.
• Scripture- is a passage
• Prayer a way to process and apply the concepts as you talk with God.
• This could make this a great book club book or Bible study group interaction.  
• Chapter Quotes (each chapter has a different font inserted with a line at the front quote, that really is a meme to go with the theme and solidify a point).  For Example:
• God was at work, moving exactly the right people into place for exactly the right time. (on change)
• Jesus didn't back down from righteous conflict. We rarely get anywhere near righteous conflict because we are too busy fighting over stupid stuff.  (on arguing and conflict.)
• Jessie Clemence's writing style reflects our current culture referencing a quote from Jen Hatmaker, or HGTV, or Target.  She relates to a typical woman of this day. 
• The author 'gets the reader' and sees you, where you are, in the midst of daily life, and it shows in your reading the book, you feel like this is a mentor girlfriend chatting with you.  
• The topics are bold, necessary, and sometimes a little confrontational or convicting, but the humor, the perspective, and the real connection to the Word, can use this book to convict your heart and help you trust the living God and His Holy Spirit to be your nap and a million dollars, and live an abundant, satisfied life as God directs.  

Thank you Kregel for an advanced copy to review, the thoughts here are my own.
