My Review:

Blessed Are the Spiraling is the first book I have read by Levi Lusko, but it will not be the last. This book is completely relatable, yet it's hard to find the right words to write a review.

"Spiraling comes in all shapes and sizes and can show up when least expected. Blessings and burdens are both heavy and can be easily confused."

The book is divided into two sections, Part 1: Get your bearings, face your shadow, and strategize for this season. Part 2: Live from your God-given identity, focus on true treasure, and prepare to end well. I loved the creativity of the chapter titles, "Become Yoda," and "Albert Einstein's Dirty Little Secret." There are so many great nuggets of truth tucked into each chapter.

"As we get closer to the end of the journey, we (hopefully) better understand what is truly meaningful. There is significance in the spiral. It is not meaningless. The goal is to get closer to the center as you go around and around in smaller and smaller circles."

I have 40+ tabs in this book and many more highlights. It is not a book to be rushed, but a book to be savored. I appreciated the conversational style the author uses. I felt like I was having a conversation with a wise friend, one who has been there and done that. A friend that is challenging me to think through my current circumstances and examining what things I am allowing to have space in my life, and if they should be there.

Thank you to Front Gate Media for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

The whirlwind of chaos and confusion barreling toward you has likely caught you completely off guard. Maybe you're navigating a season of transition—a career shift, a major life adjustment, or just an unshakable sense of disorientation. When the things that once brought fulfillment no longer seem to work, when the familiar feels foreign, and when life feels like it's slipped out of your control, you're actually in the perfect position for God to lead you to greater heights.

Am I still enough if I don't succeed? Is this season going to last forever? Am I too old to make a change, start over, or dream again?

Levi Lusko wrestled with these questions, and what he discovered on the other side wasn't despair but surprising delight.

With a rich blend of personal stories, biblical insight, and hard-won wisdom, this book will help you

-find your footing in the disorienting chaos and tap into steady, unshakable joy amidst life's storms;
-step off the treadmill of success-chasing and embrace the true significance that comes from knowing that your worth is fixed and your future is secure;
-challenge the lie that your best days are behind you by getting your bearings, retooling, and reframing for a vibrant future; and
-channel the energy of your spiraling into something meaningful and life-giving, propelling you to a new level.

This could be your new lease on life.
