"Fight Your Fears" by Kristen Wetherell



My review...

This is a book that will likely be helpful for many people, as everyone battles fear and anxiety on occasion. The book is based on ten of God's promises. The author also provides practical tools to use in conjunction with the promises to overcome your fears. Scripture verses enhance the author's words. There are exercises to do and various questions for reflection. This is a practical book for someone struggling to overcome their fears in a biblically based way.

The book is designed to include a "ponder-preserve-prepare-pray" section at the end of each chapter, allowing the user to put the information into practice. There are Scripture memory cards and book recommendations listed at the end of the book, and I really enjoyed them.

Two quotes that stuck out to me are:

  • "What if I told you that your problem with fear isn't that you are too afraid but that you aren't afraid enough?"
  • "The what-ifs are never-ending."


Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy, but I wasn't required to leave a positive review.

First Line Friday




Happy Friday! It's time for First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books.

It's time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. Today on First Line Friday, I'm featuring the latest release (nonfiction) from Carolanne Miljavac, She Laughs.






And the first line is (from Chapter 1)...

I woke up late as usual to the sound of my mama threatening my life if I stayed in bed one minute longer: "Git up and git ready before I drag you out of bed by your ankle bone!"

About the book...

In the face of...
Poverty. Grief. Brokenness. Disaster. 
Hopeless Situations. Life's Struggles.
She Laughs!

Join CA Miljavac on a journey of joy.
She believes with all her heart that laughter is a gift, providing a sliver of distraction from whatever struggle you might be facing ... relief when you need rescuing ... hope in the midst of hardship.
Though her life has been dotted with disaster, it's through laughter that she found the strength and courage to persevere ... joy for the journey. And she'll help you discover all the ways laughter can carry you through your own painful situations. 
In ten laugh-till-you-cry chapters, Miljavac shares how laughter has been an essential and valuable part of her own healing, plus hilarious true stories will help you get started on the path to a life of peace and joy. 
She Laughs. And you can too!





Let me know the first line of the book closest to you and then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating.



If you're a blogger or just a social media-er, we'd love for you to join us, too!
