My Review:

What Your Soul Needs for Stressful Times: 60 Powerful Truths to Protect Your Peace is a perfect read no matter what season you are in. I think most of us strive for more peace in our lives. 

As the title suggests, the book has 60 days of content. Each day begins with a Bible verse. Next is a short story to accompany the verse, followed by a prayer. After that there is a question or two to ponder what you have read, ending with a relevant quote.

I enjoyed the book and think it is one that would be great to return to during especially stressful times.

The only thing I really didn't like about the book is the font. The red font is pretty but hard to read, especially in the early morning light.

★★★★/5

  3. Sounds interesting. I'm not much into "self help" books but I think this might be one I am going to look for.

    1. Marianne, maybe your library will have it. That's where I borrowed it from.

    2. I doubt it. First, they only have German books, so if it were translated, I'd have to read a translation which I try to avoid. But, it has not been translated, so they wouldn't have it. And even if it were translated, they have mainly chick-lit, crime stories, you know, the usual easy reading stuff. I go there very rarely.

    3. I wondered when I said that. I couldn't remember exactly where you lived but I knew you were not in the US.

    4. That's alright, you can't remember everything. I used to live in the Netherlands but we have now gone back to Germany to retire where my family lives.

    6. That's alright. We haven't talked for a while, so that's totally understandable. Have a good weekend.
