This is an excellent book about how to feel that you belong in life. Kristen does a great job of telling of different stories (of her everyday life) and how to relate them in what GOD says. I like how she gives us a story, a travel companion (contains a story and bible verse as back up) and then a blessing in each of the chapters. I started reading and couldn't put it down, everything made sense and fits into everyday life of thinking.
I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to just feel good and know they belong no matter what the situation is. This book is a great book to give you courage and security that GOD loves you 24/7, no matter what, HE is with you. I loved how you can pick this book up and just open to any page and just feel GOD's love. Great book and inspirational read.

As an avid reader, I have set this up for friends and family to be able to see what I have read and to review each book. I read so many books each month that this is my way of organizing my readings. ENJOY!

Light from Distant Stars ~ Shawn Smucker
This is the story of Cohen Marah who tells us of his adulthood and back to his childhood. This is a book that is hard to keep track of and I wasn't that touched by the way it was written. I got confused by trying to keep up with who is talking in the book and where the story line was. I got half way through and just had to give up because it was so hard for me to understand the story and what was going on. This is not the type of book I usually read, but the cover was interesting to me and I thought the story was going to be more of a mystery, suspense type book with a well meaning in it.
I can't recommend this book, as I didn't understand it and I couldn't get through the whole book. I don't do well reading books done in the 3rd person style, that may be the reason I didn't enjoy this story.

The String ~ Caleb Breakey
This book is very disturbing to read and I couldn't get past the first few chapters. After trying to read a few times, I just couldn't do it. This is a creepy, horror, violent book that I don't know how it fits into the Christian book category. I enjoy a good suspense / thriller read, but this is just too scary and violent for my taste to read.
I can not recommend this book for anyone to read as I couldn't read it and I defiantly wouldn't recommend to any of my christian friends to read. Sorry but just not my type of a read.

Glorious Weakness ~ Alia Joy
Alia gives a new meaning to hope, through telling her true life story in this book. She is very open and honest of her feelings and how she deals with weakness in her life everyday. She gives us a raw and truthful look into her life by telling us how she didn't believe GOD was in her life. However, through her life trial and tribulation, she realizes that GOD is with us each and everyday. Don't ever give up hope, if you think it is a weakness, GOD knows what he is doing, it is in his plan, don't ever lose hope and faith.
I would recommend this to anyone that has lost hope, needs hope or just wants to come closer to GOD. This is a great read that you won't be able to put it down. When you finish, you will be encouraged and inspired by Alia's way that shows us GOD's love is always with us and we all have hope.

The Next Right Thing ~ Emily P. Freeman
This book is like having a life coach in your hands. Emily covers decluttering your life, by getting rid of the emotions and "things" that are dragging you down. She takes each chapter and works on one aspect of your life that you need to stop and think about. This book is very updated and works with today's society and technology. Each chapter has one subject, an explanation with her life and another person that has the same thing going on, prayer and a practice exercise to help you take steps to improving your daily life by making and doing the right thing.
This book is hard cover and contains alot of good and useful information. I would recommend this book for anyone at any age that would like to be able to stop the worry, anxiety and pressures of today's world. It will give you a new outlook on life and allow you to enjoy the adventure and journey of everyday life.

The Path of a Peacemaker ~ P. Brian Noble
This is a book that you can use in everyday life. It pertains to how you deal with conflict and change our attitude of the conversation to be peace. As follower's of Christ, we have a tendency to not want to have conflicts because of how we are supposed to be like Christ and nice in everyday life and accept all people. This book teaches of how the tension people cause in today's world of unGODly behavior that we as Christians can reach out to them in a peaceful and convincing way. The book teaches to look at ourselves and working on our ways in a way to reach others. It is a very easy and understandable read.
I like the easy read this book was and how you can skip around. I like the stories of others and how they have dealt with the conflicts in their lives. It is a good read and would be best starting with teens and adults.
