The Happiness Dare

Title: The Happiness Dare: Pursuing Your Heart's Deepest, Holiest, and Most Vulnerable Desire

Author: Jennifer Dukes Lee

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Self-Help, Christian Living

Publisher: Tyndale Publishing House

My review:

Jennifer Dukes Lee is quickly becoming a Nonfiction author that I love. I happened upon The Happiness Dare: Pursuing Your Heart's Deepest, Holiest, and Most Vulnerable Desire at my library and grabbed it, not knowing a thing about it. I had only read one other book by Ms. Lee, and loved it.

My review:

I got Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad from the library and started reading it. Within a few pages I had so many tabs I knew I needed to buy the book, so I did! That way, I could mark it as I went.  I had not read anything by John Eldredge before, but I look forward to reading more from him.

Simple Money, Rich Life

Author: Bob Lotich

Genre: Financial, Nonfiction

Publisher: Waterbrook

Source: Author Provided

My review:

When Bob Lotich reached out and asked me to review his book I was a little hesitant. I was at the point where I was not taking a lot of review requests. However, once I realized the topic of his book, I was all in. My husband and I had just talked about our finances, and we were both ready for things to change.

My review:

I enjoyed Literarily: How Understanding Bible Genres Transforms Bible Study by Kristie Anyabwile, but it is a harder book to review. Anyabwile gives an excellent idea of what's included in her book in the synopsis below.

Find Your People

Title: Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World

Author: Jennie Allen

Genre: Self-help, Christian Nonfiction, Christian Living

Publisher: Waterbrook

Source: Library/Own

My review:

I will start by saying while this is Christian nonfiction, it is not preachy. Jennie's answers aren't "find God" or "go to Church" or anything like that. This book is helpful for anyone who is lonely, whether spiritual/Christian or not.

What If Jesus Was Serious?

Title: What if Jesus Was Serious? A Visual Guide to the Teachings of Jesus We Love to Ignore

Author: Skye Jethani

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Christian Living, Bible Study

Publisher: Moody Publishers

Source: Own

My Review:

I thought with the size of this book, it would be a quick and easy book to read. I was wrong. While it can be read quickly , because it does not have a lot of pages, you would miss so much. What If Jesus Was Serious? A Visual Guide to the Teachings of Jesus We Love to Ignore is best to be read slowly, thinking over each section.
