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 ...

All the Pretty Things by Edie Wadsworth

I haven't posted a book review in over two weeks, I must be lazing off!!! Actually, I had two books going at once and also read a non-review book in between. Not that I think anyone missed me or anything. But just to be clear, I am back and have about six books to review in the next few weeks. Okay, "All the Pretty Things". When I started this book, I loved it. I thought it was an amazing story and it is. Edie was born to an alcoholic father. She rarely saw him sober, but she loved him and enabled him until his dying day. She missed that father figure in her life and attempted to salve that wound by working hard at everything she put her hand to except her marriage. She was raised in rather extreme poverty. Her parents divorced and both remarried, but divorced again. She was abused as a child, though it became a repressed memory that came out through recurring nightmares. She was introduced to Jesus and would often respond to altar calls to make sure she was saved. Sh...
