Psalms for the Anxious Heart by Becky Harling | Review

 



This book was written in response to COVID-19, so it's very new, relevant, and topical. This 30-day devotional seeks to give encouragement to those who are struggling in these uncertain and unprecedented times.

Each day includes a verse from the Psalms, devotional content, a question for self-reflection, a statement of truth, a song to listen to, and a prayer. The author uses both personal and biblical stories and examples to make her points. While brought about by COVID-19, that definitely isn't the focus of the devotions and these would be applicable is any situation the reader might be encountering.

I thought this was just okay. None of the devotions really spoke to me, though I did find some things I jotted down in my journal that I liked. While this may be super helpful for someone else, I just didn't connect with the content.

I gave this 3/5 stars. 

*I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a review. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Rainy Days

Good morning, everyone! I woke up this morning to a dreary, rainy day. Wisconsin has been getting a whole lot of these lately (I think the weather knows how badly I want to go to England and is preparing me). While sunny days are so nice and you can actually go outside without getting soaked, rainy days are sometimes the best kinds of days. There are some great things about rainy days, such as... playing in puddles sitting under a soft blanket with a warm mug of hot chocolate and a good book thunderstorms at night getting to wear my cute pink polka dot rain boots getting to wear my matching pink coat using cute umbrellas wearing warm sweaters I really love the rain! What are your favorite things about rainy days? xx Heidi

Life is Better at the Beach REVIEW

Image
Hello again, I'm back with yet another book review! This book published by Thomas Nelson is a great little book about how to live everyday like you're at the beach. When we're at the beach, it is so easy to be relaxed and enjoy every moment. We long to go outside and see the beauty of God's creation. However, it's hard to keep up that attitude after our beach vacation is over. This book is all about how to keep up that beach mentality every day for your own health and positivity. I did enjoy this book. It's a short, quick read, filled with very small bits of text, Bible verses, quotes, and lots and lots of lovely beach photos. I would picture this book on a coffee table in a house on the beach. It would make a great gift, something for you to flip through when you feel a little down, or un-beachy. I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars. I recommend it, I thought it was so cute! I read this as an ebook but I'll bet the physical copy is really beau...
