This powerful compilation of personal testimony is just what we need today. This book embodies transparency and that is refreshing. It’s a real person sharing real life which makes it encouraging to all. We all go through trials and tribulations but we often find it difficult to face the truth and share that truth with others. We hide behind our pain as if there is no purpose for it. Yvette graciously shares that we are overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. This is a must read because there’s something in this book for YOU! This book will aid you in enhancing your own journey.

This book is a quick read but one who's lessons will stay with you long after reading. Yvettes trials and tribulations are real and identifiable. If you're looking for a book to uplift your spirit...I would definitely recommend you give this one a try.

The Oxford Dictionaries defines Tweetable as suitable for posting on a social media website. I say that Yvette Wilson Bentley's "ENHANCING THE JOURNEY: The Journey Journal " is tweetable because I found myself constantly stopping to tweet useful information from the book as I read. ENHANCING THE JOURNEY is a collection of Yvette's thoughts and experiences written in journal format. Yvette gives a candid account of the challenges and circumstances that aided in her maturity. The text is written in a relaxed manner; it is almost like Yvette is just having a good conversation with you, sharing her knowledge in the hopes that you might avoid some of the pitfalls that she has encountered or in the hopes that your life might be much more enjoyable.

There were so many tweetable quotes and if you check my twitter account @jamesfantjr, you’ll see that I tweeted several of them. No sense in keeping all of that good wisdom to myself, right? I especially liked one bit of wisdom: a quote from a friend of Yvette’s that she was kind enough to share in her book. “Honesty without compassion is pure hostility.” That is so true. How many times has a brutally honest statement been followed by the disclaimer “I’m just being honest”? No. You are just being hateful and hurtful. I learned that the words that we say to others can bring life or usher in death and depression, even if we are speaking the truth. So I am so grateful that Yvette shared that jewel of wisdom in her book because I am more careful about what I say to people now.

If you are in the mood for a really good inspirational non-fiction read, I suggest you read “ENJOYING THE JOURNEY: The Journey Journal” by Yvette Wilson Bentley. And then, just like I did, get to tweeting.

[Tremayne Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

Enhancing The Journey takes you through the life of Yvette and things she had to learn throughout her life. Whatever she went through, she had to remember God. This book is relatively short (which you can read in one setting), but you can gain nuggets on each topic. It's like a mini-journal of Yvette. Her message is simply, don't forget to remember God in all areas of your life. No matter how busy your life is, you must make time for Him.

**Goodreads winner**
When i first picked this book up, it startled me with how short it was and the print is also large. There were a few grammar errors throughout the book. But hey! Language is descriptive not prescriptive right? The content was pretty good. A good short read : )
