In 2023, I set a objective to complete one ebook per week. I’m aiming to hearken to half-hour of an audiobook per day (whereas cooking, cleansing, and/or driving) and learn 10 minutes of a ebook. By doing this, I hope to pretty simply have the ability to end one ebook per week.
You may comply with alongside on GoodReads to see what I’m studying, what books I end, and the star score I give every of them.
Listed below are the three books I completed not too long ago:
I began this audiobook a very long time in the past, however I didn’t end it earlier than it wanted to be returned to the library (by way of the Libby app).
I really like Charles Martin’s books and this one had some actually stunning phrases and sections in it. Nevertheless, I felt like a few of it felt so unbelievable or a little bit scattered that I didn’t take pleasure in it as a lot as I’ve loved a few of his different books.
Verdict: 3 stars
This was a type of books that I instantly liked from the get-go. It drew me in, challenged me, and made me actually analyze my life and selections.
The premise of the ebook is that we reside in such a distracted world that it’s hurting our lives and maintaining us from listening to what issues most. I liked the examples the creator shared — particularly within the first few chapters — to problem us to make small modifications to reside much less distracted lives. I resonated with it a lot and appreciated how counter-cultural it was.
I felt like the primary 5-6 chapters had been the very best. The second half of the ebook wasn’t fairly nearly as good (nonetheless priceless, I simply didn’t resonate with it as a lot!) and there have been just a few components that felt a little bit tacky/cringey (like him speaking about writing from the tub, and many others.)
Since I liked the primary part a lot and felt just like the ebook’s message is so wanted this present day, I requested the creator to file a podcast episode with me. Search for that coming quickly!
Verdict: 4 stars
I liked this ebook a lot! As somebody who has skilled church damage and disappointment, it moved me deeply. I appreciated how the creator shared her journey in such a method that it challenged you to maneuver to a extra healed, wholehearted place as an alternative of staying caught in a damage place.
The ebook is full of private tales, knowledge from Scripture, and each sensible and inspirational content material for anybody who has struggled with church damage and/or disappointment or who’s in management in a church.
If you wish to get a little bit thought of what the ebook is about, you’ll want to hearken to my dialog on the podcast with the creator. It’s well worth the half-hour of your time — particularly in case you have walked by way of any form of church damage or disappointment.
Verdict: 4 stars
