Apparently I'm in season of life where the best way I become a better Whisperer of the Word is continuing to delve into how to grow myself in seeing God's character, His Word, and following the Holy Spirit's lead in my second to second every changing mindset. I've recognized that a growth mindset educationally is important to learning. And developing a God mindset in my heart, soul, and mind, not only impacts how I connect with the Lord, but also impact who I am, and how I connect with my husband, my children, the people in my world. And I seek to read books that will help me do this, but so rarely find high quality in depth biblically connected books that impact me and make a difference in my mindset. So it's pretty amazing (or pretty clear what my head and heart need to focus my mind on), when I find 5 star books two in a row.
Katie Orr is a new author to me, so I had no real expectations of this book, but reading the description I was intrigued and wanted to read it. I've found a new author to follow!! I loved her book and rated it five stars which I rarely do.
Here's why:
*The book is biblical and theologically sound
*Her book is centered on helping her readers recognize how the Word impacts our lives.
*The book is full of verses that are key to being a happy soul.
*The book is easy to read, with authentic examples from the author's experiences.
* Once I started I didn't want to stop reading, which is unusual for a christian growth book.
*The secrets of a happy soul theme is threaded throughout the whole book helping me retain the strategies suggested.
*At the end of the chapters where she has explained how a "Happy Soul" person lives, she has a short personal rating scale for you to reflect on this area of your life and then she has some prompts to help you plan to grow. (and it's not hokey or stressful- her style is so connected, you aren't intimated to answer, you are prepared.
* Experiencing deep delight- sounds like an unachievable goal, but this book shows the reader the skills, mindset, and perspective (including what we often might think and tell ourselves that needs correction).
*God has been encouraging me to seek who He is more, and look to Him in all the minutes of my day/life. This book shows me how.
*As an avid reader of christian growth books, I often feel like a new book adds little to my already well researched mindset, but the author's perspective is unique.
* I learned NEW ideas that I am applying already and will check back in on my highlights and review to keep growing. This book blessed me and has stirred my heart, mind and soul to continue to seek a deeper connection with the Lord my God.
Honored to partner with Bethany House publishing and receive a copy of this book.
