Worth Reading

The fat, padded envelope came just a few days ago. I was so excited.

A Book.                                       

I love books. 

Especially books that are worth the reading, vertical books, that lift you up and make you glad you read it– I love books that point you to the Father.

Holley Gerth, author of  YOU’RE ALREADY AMAZING, Embracing Who You Are, Becoming All God Created You to Be, has done just that, lifted us up to the very throne room of the Almighty and made us realize our worth in Him.

As I read the title, You’re Already Amazing, I was hesitant. I knew I could trust her to write a great book and I had seen many reviews on it. What I didn’t want was just a book to build me up and make me feel good about myself and leave me there.

This book was so much more than I expected. Holley drew me in immediately and put me at ease with: “You don’t have to do more, be more, have more.”

Her easy-going style has a friendly, inviting approach, backed by the confidence of Holy Scripture, that gave me reason to grab my pen and highlighter.

She offers helpful tools in the form of quick worksheets and personal applications for women of all ages. (And by the way, after some brief discussions about the book with my hubby, I think even the guys who are brave enough to read it, would find this book and its encouragements helpful).

This book is not just another “be all you can be” self-help guide, but pages of Biblical Truth and Promises that help in finding our strengths, skills, and purpose, as we learn to live life to the fullest.

Her straight-forward approach is easy to follow and useful regardless of age or where you find yourself in life. The additional questions and worksheets in the back of the book make it perfect for a small group study.

I can’t wait to share this book with others and watch the (in)courage videos in the Bloom Book Club. 

Thank you Holley!!! I can see this book being read over and over in the years to come.
