Desperate
On 1/14 Chelsey wrote: I have admired Sally Clarkson for a long time, having read both The Mission of Motherhood and The Ministry of Motherhood, as well as Educating the WholeHearted Child. I've been reading her blog for some time and just find her to be such an encouraging, inspiring, and generally lovely woman, someone ... Communion for Moms
A Year with G. K. Chesterton
On 12/9 Chelsey wrote: I've been reading so many modern Christian books, or post-modern or whatever era we are in these days, and I recently have had a craving to read some classics like C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Augustine, etc., so when I discovered "A Year with G.K. Chesterton" by Kevin Belmonte I was ready to dive right ... A bite-sized piece of philosophical meat.
Chase DVD-Based Study
On 12/9 Chelsey wrote: I've already reviewed the DVD-based study, "Stuck", and the book, "Anything", by Jennie Allen and since I was so encouraged and changed and inspired by those two, I definitely was looking forward to receiving her new DVD-based women's study "Chase". Friends, I was not disappointed. I just love Jennie. ... Chase DVD-Based Study Review
The Purpose Driven Life
On 11/26 Chelsey wrote: Anyone ever heard of "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren? This was the first book I read as a brand new Christian, aside from the bible, and let me tell you, this book taught me so many basic truths about who God is and what His plan is for me. "The Purpose Driven Life" just celebrated its 10th ... Great, Foundation Building Book.
Everything
On 10/9 Chelsey wrote: Wow, I recently read "Everything" by Mary DeMuth and was not disappointed! I had already planned to buy this book, so when it came available for review, I requested it immediately. This book is all about "what you give and what you gain to become like Jesus" and is broken down into three main areas ... Everything
Grace
On 9/18 Chelsey wrote: I recently read the book Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine by Max Lucado. Grace is basically the central theme of Christianity, yet so many of us fail to understand or accept it. In the past year, God has given me many books that are on the theme of his grace and they have encouraged ... Grace
KJV Bride's Bible
On 8/15 Chelsey wrote: I requested a copy of the Bride's bible, honestly, because I liked the lacy looking cover. I actually wasn't sure at the time if the bible was for an actual bride in a wedding or a bride as in the bride of Christ. I was hoping the latter, but when I received it, I quickly learned that, yes, it is a ... Why?
The Voice New Testament: Revised & Updated
On 8/1 Chelsey wrote: Thomas Nelson Publishers and Ecclesia Bible Society have teamed up to retell the story of scripture through creating a "translation that was faithful and accurate to the original languages while at the same time beautiful and readable". The result of this collaboration is The Voice New Testament. There ... Refreshing!
Love Does
On 8/1 Chelsey wrote: I just got all caught up in Bob Goff's book "Love Does". I first heard of Bob Goff in Donald Miller's "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years", so I was immediately interested in reading his book based solely on that, but then the title "Love Does" piqued my curiosity even further. If you've never heard ... Inspiring and whimsical.
Stuck DVD-Based Study
On 4/3 Chelsey wrote: I was absolutely thrilled to receive a copy of Jennie Allen’s DVD-based Study, “Stuck“. I had heard of it a couple of times before and was really interested in it, so it was awesome to be offered a copy to review! The first thing that struck me about this study is its visual appeal. Beautiful ... Moving study.
Fresh-Brewed Life
On 10/9 Chelsey wrote: Being a coffee lover (well, latte lover) I was drawn to "Fresh Brewed Life" based on its title. Author, Nicole Johnson, offers women "a stirring invitation to wake up your soul". That sounded good to me too. I was really excited for this book and I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but I ... Fresh Brewed Life - Book Review
100 Devotions, 100 Bible Songs
On 8/29 Chelsey wrote: I was really looking forward to receiving a copy of "100 Read & Sing Devotions" created by Stephen Elkins. I have been working hard to have a daily devotional time of my own, but also to have a daily devotional time with my young children. It is never too early to start setting an example of spending ... 100 Read and Sing Devotions - Stephen Elkins - Book Review
Stumbling Into Grace
On 8/16 Chelsey wrote: So, today I've been thinking about Stumbling into Grace by Lisa Harper. This is a light-hearted book that reads like a conversation between two friends. Each chapter begins with "so today I've been thinking about [insert topic here]" and discusses a topic of our Christian walk. Harper begins with ... Stumbling into Grace - Book Review
Fearless
On 8/4 Chelsey wrote: I finally read Fearless by Max Lucado, after it sat on my little e-book shelf for probably a year. I accidentally requested to review it for Booksneeze, and it took me so long to get around to it because I'm personally not a huge fan of Max Lucado's writing style. With "Fearless", Lucado invites us ... Fearless - Max Lucado - Book Review
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
On 3/18 Chelsey wrote: I am a long time Donald Miller fan, since I read “Blue Like Jazz” (which, by the way, you should read; in my opinion, it is prerequisite to A Million Miles) and I jumped at the chance to get a free copy of “A Million Miles in A Thousand Years” from Booksneeze. I am the kind of girl who doesn’t ... A Million Miles in A Thousand Years
