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
Synopsis (Goodreads):This 60-day devotional offers spiritual truth to soothe your soul alongside practical tools to apply that will truly make a difference. Each day, Holley offers Scripture, a prayer, questions for reflection, and inspirational quotes to help you learn to live with more peace and less pressure, more calm and less chaos, more worship and less worry.
We are definitely living in stressful times!
ReplyDeleteLark, unfortunately!
DeleteSounds like a wonderfully uplifting read.
ReplyDeleteHena, it is :)
DeleteSounds interesting. I'm not much into "self help" books but I think this might be one I am going to look for.
ReplyDeleteMarianne, maybe your library will have it. That's where I borrowed it from.
DeleteI 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.
DeleteI wondered when I said that. I couldn't remember exactly where you lived but I knew you were not in the US.
DeleteThat'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.
DeleteMarianne, I remember now, LOL!
DeleteThat's alright. We haven't talked for a while, so that's totally understandable. Have a good weekend.
DeleteThanks, you as well :)
