Born to Wander (review)

  Where are you going? Where have you been?  Born to Wander by Michelle Van Loon will take you on a path reflecting on your own journey.  I was provided this book complimentary for review purposes and all opinions are my own.

  I found this book easy to read and enjoy.

This book wandered with me everywhere including the pool until I was done with it!

This book contains 11 chapters including questions after each chapter encouraging you to consider what you read, your current life situation and ending with a prayer.  

Some chapters may mean more to you then others.  I had a few similarities with the author.  Each chapter titled gives you an appropriate taste of what you will read.  

Chapter 1: Uprooted

Chapter 2: Sent

Chapter 3: Waylaid

Chapter 4: Displaced

Etc........

We wander all the time.  Not just moving from one home to another but, in our jobs, with our friends and sometimes from one church to another.

Some moves may have been on purpose others on accident or coincidentally but, it's natural to wander.  We are in charge of our own happiness and in searching for the best fit, the happy life, satisfaction we wander.

The author adds an appropriate passage from the Bible or a story not just her own of a particular scenario to bring relevance to the chapter.

This would be a perfect book for your small group book club.  Use the questions provided in the back for group discussion.  Wandering is so natural and common that this is a book anyone can read and walk away from with a different perspective.

  I felt this was a great book and as stated earlier all opinions and comments are my own.

The Study Bible For Women (book review)

  We ladies do like our pretty things.  I also like to read.  This year making time for myself has been easier some days then others but, without being to hard on myself I just make up for it on different days.  My newest book .... a study bible for women.... was provided to me complimentary for review purposes.

  Being a mom, taking care of a house, preparing meals and squeezing some me time is just another challenge I refuse to be defeated in.  I enjoy trying new recipes, working out and reading.  This year I have devoted more time to reading the bible.  I am in my 40's and have never read the complete bible and although I know there are many different apps and  strategies to complete this task in a year those are not quite for me.

  Reading a portion daily is reasonable but I want to know what I read and remember what I read versus getting it done to be done.  When presented with the opportunity to review The Study Bible For Women I was excited as it would provide me with the depth I was seeking.  So for the last few months I have enjoyed reading the bible as well as studying the content.

   This study bible is just that.  It presents the story and food for thought.

Vocabulary lessons.

Learn new words or the meaning of words in a particular context. 

Questions to ponder.

Questions placed sporadically in this book challenge you to think of an appropriate answer based on what you have already read.

Maps.

It's always nice to follow the path and to get an idea of where the places are.
