Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

I wanted to know what the buzz was about and why I kept seeing this book go through the library at lightning speed, so I put the book on hold and finally read it last weekend.  Ms. Hollis is an engaging writer and excellent story teller.  I can totally understand why people enjoy her website, blog, and books.  I do think that we women have a tendency to put ourselves last and not achieve the goals we hope to do and she had some great advice on how to change that.  Before or right after you read this book, I suggest that you read this  review .  There is good advice to be had from this book, but we need to be wise in what counsel we follow.  There were some pieces of advice I intend to follow, but I recommend this book to you with reservations.

What I've Been Reading

This book is a yearly read, because I need the regular reminder that God does His part and I need to do my part to grow in Christ-likeness. This is a great read if you need direction for getting out of debt or just a resetting of your attitude toward money.   If you enjoy historical fiction, this may be the book for you. This is the author's idea of what a possible back story for King Hezekiah and Queen Hephzibah might have been.  I enjoyed it from beginning to end.  Because sometimes you need a good picture book. I think we all go through mid-faith crisis at least once - probably more than once in our lives.  I appreciated her honesty and I could see myself in some of her story. I liked the authors' take on cancer prevention and treatment.  They really put a lot of power back into the hands of the patient.  We have more control (for good or for ill) over our own health than we realize, I think. Enjoy!...

The Heaven of Animals by Nancy Tillman

Sometimes when I'm making a cart of children's books up for the page to put away, a book will catch my eye.  I have no little ones at home anymore and I don't have grandchildren yet, so I get to or have to read a book like this on my own.  For this one I should have had a tissue or two at the ready. If your family has recently lost a pet, this was a lovely, peaceful book.  The illustrations inside the book are just as beautiful as the cover.  I found it comforting for myself and I think it would be a great way to help your child to talk about his or her feelings after the loss of a beloved animal.  My favorite part was when the angels call out to your pet they know his name.  When your pet hears the angel's voice it isn't a new voice, it sounds just like yours.  Yes, I'm tearing up writing this!  And now I recommend this book to you. Until next time...
