For the past few years I have read the blog Women Living Well that is written by Courtney Joseph. The nuggets of wisdom that I bring from her writing inspire me to learn more about God and my relationship with him. Her heart for women and faith pushes me to become a better Christian.
Once I heard that Courtney was publishing the book Women Living Well I knew that it was something I would have to read.
Women Living Well talks right to the heart of women. It walks you through learning to live in the now without the noise and distraction of the world. Courtney understands just how busy life is and can be. She understand a need for grace. She encourages us to seek peace and quiet time with our Lord each day. Biblical truth is presented to readers with practical tips on how to achieve a closer relationship with God.
This book is just what I needed. I found myself nodding along with more than 90% of what Courtney had to say. My book is smeared cover to cover with highlight marks and the margins are full of notes (a sign of a great book!). More than that, I left the book feeling like I could be better. Like I could be a better wife and mother. I realized, while reading this book, that my walk with my Savior is not at all where I want it to be. I was lacking the motivation to get up and spend time in the word. I was rushing through my quiet time to move on to the busy loud world. My heart was heavy and my burdens were weighing me down. This book helped me to realize that it is ok! I can start where I am today and move forward in my walk with The King. He loves me, he is there for me, and he is waiting on me with open arms.
I realized that I was not being the wife and mother that I was created to be. I was convicted to start being more for my husband. To be better for him and to keep up with the housework for my family.
The book is broken down into four parts that will help you with your personal relationship with the Lord, strengthen your marriage, help your parenting, and how to become a better homemaker. It is an easy and quick read that you are sure to re-read again and again!
