Review of the book- I Don't Wait Anymore: by Grace Thornton

I Don't Wait Anymore: Letting Go of Expectations and Grasping God's Adventure for You

by Grace Thornton

   I was excited when I saw this title because I certainly had a lot of expectations for my life and I am only now letting go and trying to let God take the lead. As soon as I began reading this beautiful hardcover book, I knew it was for me because of the author's specific struggle with singleness. It was uncannily like my own struggle (apart from the fact that the author used to have a great boyfriend which made her dreams seem more tangible and I haven't, so don't think I'm saying that my dreams tumbled as hard as the author's did!) and really spoke to my heart. I don't know what it is with the books I've been reading and reviewing recently; they are amazing and I keep giving them five stars! To clarify, I don't usually give five stars. But books like this one are necessary and life-changing. '

This book is a mixture of memoir and just a really deep yet easy-to-understand book on faith and living the life GOD wants you to live! I do recommend it for everyone! Read it and be changed. 

I don't agree with absolutely everything in this book and the author and I probably wouldn't agree doctrinally but she has many very, very important Biblical truths that I really learned from! I hope to add some wonderful quotes from this book to my review soon. 

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. 

A REVIEW OF THE BOOK Beautiful Uncertainty by Mandy Hale

Beautiful Uncertainty

By Mandy Hale

   This book is my introduction to inspirational author Mandy Hale and her works. As a single woman in my twenties, I am always eager to read encouragement and wisdom from other single women. I long to get a bigger picture of God's purpose and plan for my life. I think Mandy Hale did a beautiful job presenting the joy and zest for life a single woman of any age can experience. There was definitely a balanced and content look at life which I appreciated. The author wasn't touting singleness or marriage as the best thing in life. Rather, she focused on Christ and the contentment and joy found in Him. In short, if you have Jesus, you have everything you need! This is such an important message and I hope more girls and women will read this book and learn that for themselves. I am glad I read this book! It was such an easy read, by the way. Once I picked up the book, I couldn't put it down and finished it one Sunday afternoon! However, I would recommend going back and reading it more slowly in order to really ponder the truths and lessons within the pages.  Since this is my introduction to Mandy Hale's books and indeed her story, I found certain biographical information lacking which will encourage me to look into her other books, but this book is of course great on its own because of the important content.

As a side-note to friends reading this review: I think the author and I would have differing opinions doctrinally and there were a couple of moments were I felt Jesus could have been revered more, but it was still a great book.

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.
