My Review:
Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House is the first book I have read by Dana White. After reading her book, I want more people to hear about her, especially if you struggle with keeping a clean house.

My Review:
I am always looking for books that will improve me, my family, my life, LOL! So when I saw that The Deep-Rooted Marriage was up for review, I requested a copy. I am very happily married but I feel that there is always room for improvement.

My Review:
Ten Words to Live By is a deep dive into the Ten Commandments.
Author: John Baillie
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
Genre: Nonfiction, Devotional Classic, Prayer,
Source: Library
My Review:
I can see why John Baillie's A Diary of Private Prayer is a devotional classic. I want to say the book is simply a book of prayers, but there is nothing simple about them.

My Review:
I was not far into reading The Intentional Year when I realized I needed to own this book. It is one to sit with, ponder, and savor.

Title: Finding Jesus: A Fun and Meaningful Countdown to Christmas
Author: Lillian Richey
Illustrator: Lauren Cox
Publisher: Finding Jesus, LLC
Genre: Christian, children
Source: Front Gate Media
My Review:
I wish Finding Jesus existed when my children were little. We love to celebrate the Christmas season with an Advent calendar, picture books, and a Jesse tree where we had ornaments that represented each scripture that was in the Jesse Tree book. For a few years we even did Elf on the Shelf. I would have much rather my children found Jesus than Elf on the Shelf 😂!

I bought Fit God's Way: Your Bible-Based Guide to Food, Fitness, & Wholeness on a whim this past summer. I was in Baker Bookhouse browsing, saw the book, and grabbed it and I am so glad I did!

My
go-to commentaries are the "Be" series by Warren Wiersbe. I have had Be Concerned for years but had never read it. It focuses on the Minor Prophets: Amos, Obadiah, Micah, and Zephaniah.

My Review:
I bought Thirsty: 12 Weeks of Drinking Deeply from God's Word on a whim and I am so glad I did. I was unfamiliar with Hannah C. Hall's writing, as she had previously only written children's books.

Series: What if Jesus Was Serious
Author: Skye Jethani
Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Theology, Devotional, Christian Living

My Review:
Skye Jethani has become an "auto" read author. I have read all his books in the What If Jesus Was Serious series. What If Jesus Was Serious About Heaven? is best read slowly, allowing time to ponder each section.

I'll Be There (But I'll Be Wearing Sweatpants) is easy to read, relatable, and informative.

My Review:
As soon as 90 Day Bible Reading Challenge Read the Whole Bible, Change Your Whole Life crossed my radar I knew I wanted to read it. I had read another book by Mary DeMuth and enjoyed it. Plus, I have read the Bible, but never in such a short time frame.

My Review:
The Cost of Control Why We Crave It, The Anxiety it Gives Us, and the Real Power God Promises is the first book I have read by Sharon Hodde Miller, but it won't be the last. I checked it out of the library, but by the end of the second chapter it was one I knew I needed to own.
