The Shift: Courageously Moving from Season to Season by Keion Henderson

The Shift: Courageously Moving from Season to Season

by 

Keion Henderson

About:

Discover a renewed sense of your purpose and the courage to move from what it is to what can be.
Albert Einstein once said, "Problems cannot be solved with the same mind-set that created them." To resolve our problems and deal with our mistakes, we must be willing to be transformed by God's process of healing and strengthening.
We have a tendency to think of our present situation in polarizing terms: good or bad, up or down. Due to the seasonal nature of our life experiences, this is an easy trap for many of us. We overlook the fact that there are transition times, such as the season between graduation and the amazing job; between divorce and remarriage; between the failure and the success.
THE SHIFT explores the ways we can survive the seasons in between with the courage that comes only when you're sure of God's purpose for your life.

My Thoughts:

The Shift is the perfect book for this season, especially as we are living in difficult times, never before have we experienced a pandemic that is affecting the very nature of our everyday life. This book was released at the perfect time. How we deal with different seasons and walk through them; is exactly what The Shift is about. 

The Shift: Courageously Moving From Season To Season provides the reader with insights and practical advice on exercising grace in the shifts of seasons. With insights from the Bible and also real life stories, this book allows the reader to to find the book relatable. 

This book breaths life and training for the reader as we walk through seasons that shift. This is the best book for the season that the world is living in. I highly recommend picking up a copy today.

It's Not Over by Joshua Gagnon

IT’S NOT OVER

About It’s Not Over: Leaving Behind Disappointment and Learning to Dream Again

Paperback: 224 pages

Publisher: Thomas Nelson (February 25, 2020)

Disappointed with your life? Worried you’ll never achieve your dreams? Don’t be discouraged; it’s not over!

As children, we dream of someday being a superhero or an astronaut, a parent or a business owner, an actress or a sports star. The more outrageous the dream, the more sure we are that it will happen! Yet as we mature, hardships, hurts, and failures chip away at our dreams. Our past longings can seem like the naive wishes of childhood instead of the foundation of the life we were meant to live.

In It’s Not Over, pastor Joshua Gagnon, founder of the Next Level Church network, reminds us that we were born to dream—and to dream big. In fact, our dreams have the power to shape our lives. Join Joshua in discovering the answers to these questions and many more:

• How does dreaming help you discover your purpose?
• How do you identify whether a dream is even worth chasing?
• How do you overcome resistance, criticism, and doubt?
• How do you pray bold prayers when you don’t feel like praying at all?
• How do you finish strong on the journey toward your dream?

If you find yourself minimizing your dreams or feeling defeated by inner or outer resistance, there is good news: it’s not over! As long as you have breath in your lungs, God has a dream for you to chase. It’s what you were created for. And you can start today.

My Thoughts:

It's Not Over is the perfect book for anyone who has a God size dream in their heart. Whether the dream is something new or you've given up on your dream, this book is for you. The size of your dream doesn't matter, but as long as it comes from the heart of God, it will come into fruition. 

With practical advice, this book will have the reader nodding their head and highlighting paragraphs. This book is simple, yet thought provoking for the reader. I found myself thinking about my God size dream and asking myself questions, as I read through this book. It gave me practical advice on how I can pursue my God-given dream, especially in a difficult time in our world, where we are focused on COVID-19. This book brought me life and encouragement. I highly recommend picking up a copy today.

The Happy Camper by Melody Carlson

The Happy Camper

by 

Melody Carlson

About:

Home is the place to heal, right? At least, that's what Dillon Michaels is hoping as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon's old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift--her grandfather's run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the local hardware store.

But just when things are finally beginning to run smoothly, Dillon's noncommittal ex-boyfriend shows up with roses . . . and a ring.

My Thoughts:

The Happy Camper is an adorable book that I could not put down. I love author, Melody Carlson. She writes a fantastic, delightful and light novel. The Happy Camper has all the elements that I love in a book. The main character Dillon is a go-getter and has the attitude of "I can get it done." She is determined more then ever to DIY a vintage trailer. In the process of making her trailer into something that is functional, she learns that the previous life she led, was not all that she had thought it to be. She also meets Jordan Atwood who helps her transform her trailer. Her trailer isn't the only thing that is changed by Jordan, but her heart. 

This book has the romance, laughter, family and faith elements that every reader wants to read. I was able to read this book quick because it was so light and adorable. If you're looking for a light read, that is fun and has a side of romance, order your copy today of The Happy Camper. You will not be disappointed.

The Basic Bible Atlas: A Fascinating Guide to the Land of the Bible

by 

John A. Beck

About:

The Bible tells the story of God meeting real people in a real time and place, yet we rarely take the time to wonder, Why there? Maybe we have a hard time even picturing where there is. To begin to fully understand the Bible, we must understand the geographical settings of Scripture and how each place participates in the biblical story.

With its colorful maps, The Basic Bible Atlas helps us link geography to Bible study so we can understand how place impacted events in the Bible. From Eden to Egypt, from the promised land to Persia, from Bethlehem to the New Jerusalem, The Basic Bible Atlas is a fascinating guide to the land of the Bible. Your Bible study will never be the same.

My Thoughts:

The Basic Bible Atlas by author John A. Beck is incredible book with knowledge and information for the reader. This book has colorful maps that are striking to the eye, so the reader can gain a sense of Biblical times. There are also stories from the Bible as well. 

The Basic Bible Atlas is great for beginners and those have studied the Bible because the maps are easy to understand, perfect size for the page and allow the reader to get in depth with the land. I like the pages of this book. Also, this would be perfect to help your children, whether through homeschooling, church, etc. 

I can't recommend this book enough. It is great!
