Friday Reads


A new month and a long weekend, to boot! Here's what I'll be diving into:

📘 Christian fiction: Facade by Pepper Basham
📗 Christian non-fiction: Leading in Tough Times by John C. Maxwell

I didn't purposely match these titles together based on the themes; however, that might be an idea worth exploring. While my Christian fiction titles are the books most on display in my home library, I have many Christian non-fiction titles all throughout the house (much to the chagrin of my husband in that the books are everywhere, not that they're Christian books 😄). That might be a fun adventure....

I actually read Facade on Kindle Unlimited a while back, but I recall it being so good that I wanted to get a paper copy and read it again to refresh my memory. Pepper's writing is just that amazing!

Review: The Good Gift of Weakness

I am so glad that the author reached out to me about  The Good Gift of Weakness: God's Strength Made Perfect in the Story of Redemption  as it was exactly the book that I needed to read in this season of my life. Many thanks to Harvest House Publishers and Eric Schumacher  for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis This overview of the theme of weakness in the Bible offers readers practical encouragement and hope as they learn to view their frailties as part of God’s plan and purpose for their lives. Our culture deifies strength―and sadly, the church does too. Who has the most successful ministry, the largest congregation, or the godliest family? Our misplaced faith in human strength is a false hope with no basis in Scripture. But a closer look throughout the Bible reveals the central role human frailty plays in the redemption story. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s power is made perfect when peo...

Review: The Biblio Diet

Over the years, I've had the joy of reading many books on health and nutrition, partly a product of some studies I've done on it and also due to personal interest. As a result, I'm always intrigued when there is a Christian perspective on this subject. I'm grateful that I learnt about The Biblio Diet by Jordan Rubin and Dr. Josh Axe after having previously read Eat Dirt by Dr. Josh Axe. Many thanks to Worthy Books for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

In this book, y...
