BOOK REVIEW: Evening Reflections: Resting In the Treasures of God's Word ~ Merry Christmas!

 It's almost time for my book to be released on Amazon! It's an exciting moment in my life. I've worked hard on it and prayed over it. It's not my book - it's God's book. I asked Him, "Not my words, but yours." Here it is! 

       I love it! The cover portrays resting in the evening and reading about God. I got the idea for REST in February 2023 and from there, I grew it into a 30-day devotional. It has three sections: Believe, Slow Down, and Listen and within those sections are 10 daily focus words. Each evening includes the focus word, a Scripture, a short devotional, and a prayer. Sometimes I offer a quote, a beloved childhood song suggestion, or a suggestion to learn more about a special Bible character.  Readers can decide how long they want to spend each evening: five minutes or thirty minutes, it's up to them. When I discovered that my nightly reading helped me sleep better, that's when I wanted to share what I learned. I practiced turning my thoughts into good ones, not dwelling on the problems of the day, what was going on in life, etc. Sometimes it is still a struggle to wrangle those thoughts back in line, but I focus and it happens!

      God has led me for such a time as this! Since my husband's death, I've come through the fire of grief and deep sorrow to totally depend on God. Jesus wraps His healing arms around me as I step through the day. 

     It is my hope that the book finds its way into all the hands of those who need to discover this routine to help them reflect on their day, renew their spirit, and rest well at night. 

     It's going to be published this coming week...just in time for Christmas 2023! Again, it's God's perfect timing! The book will make a great gift for yourself and for your family and friends who need relief. 

     Merry Christmas from my house to yours and may God bless your New Year! 

     P.S. A New Year, A New You ~ grab the book and start your 2024 reflecting, renewing, and resting! 

   

      

    

COMING SOON ~ "Evening Reflections: Resting in the Treasures of God's Word" a 30-day devotional

 It's finally happening. "It" is my book. I finished the words that God gave me, put it away, rewrote it, put it away again, and repeated until I knew it was ready. This is my first nonfiction book-length endeavor. It is God-given and it's a testimony about how to rest well. Are you weary and find it hard to sleep at night? I found the answer to my insomnia! It's simple, but I must tell you that I had to intentionally focus and practice. And as time went by, I developed my routine to:

 Reflect. Renew. Rest. 

The secret is revealed in the book, but I'll tell you that the treasure is the wonderful words found in the Bible. Those words are worth more than gold and silver because they assure us that we are Children of God.

 This book took me on a journey from not sleeping well at night and despair tearing at my heart, to a direct and deliberate routine that brought me sweet rest. I hope you will consider giving my method a try and that you discover sweet slumber every night by reflecting on your day, renewing yourself with God, and resting peacefully. 

Watch for it to debut, maybe by Christmas, 2023.
