The Set Apart Woman by Leslie Ludy

Product Details

The Set-apart Woman: God's Invitation to Sacred Living.

If you want your life changed, then I recommend this book.  Leslie takes you on a personal journey to becoming the woman God has created us to be.  She is practical; she shares personal excerpts from her life and she challenges each and every woman to be sold out 100% for God, no exceptions, no excuses.

One of the things that hit me the most and that I am working on improving was the area of prayer time/personal time with God.  Since our daughter was born, this had really fallen by the wayside, but she challenged me that there is not a time in our lives to let this all-important part slip to the side.  We need that time with God to be able to face the day and I know she is right.  I am working on doing better at making it a crucial part of my day.  I have a long ways to go.

Leslie ends each chapter with a group study and discussion questions and verses to look up and also a personal reflection with some more verses and questions.  It would be a perfect complement to your quiet time that would cause you to examine your life and dig deeper into becoming the woman God has made you to be.

What has become an idol in my life? Money, relationships?  Am I more interested in being a humanitarian rather than changing the world for God first and meeting physical needs as a break out from that?  Do I have the sacrificial love that God calls us to?  Am I willing to step out of my comfort zone to do the work God has called me to? Am I even open to finding out what that work might be?

I hope I can be more God-conscious as a result of reading this book and being reminded once again of my need for God to have control over every area of my life.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be changed and who wants to be 100% sold out for God.  Prepare to have your thinking challenged and your mindset changed.

This book was given me by Tyndale Publishers for the purpose of reading and writing a review.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers

The Swindler's Daughter by Stephania H. McGee

  Lillian is raised by her "widowed" mother who wants Lillian to marry slightly above her station so as to secure a good future for both Lillian and her mother.  But then the unexpected happens and Lillian is left the inheritance of her father who has only just now died. She travels to Dawsonville where she is confronted with secrets and a whole new life. She is given community, family, friendships and acceptance, something she has never had before.  It was a fun light read, but I can't say I gained any huge inspiration from it. It was pretty fluffy. Of course, there was Jonah battling his own things and struggling to come to terms with the way his own life was turning out. So you know the end of all that, but on the way there there was some danger and some twists and turns in the plot which added to the story.  I received this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions expressed are my own.
