Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
A timely and helpful book filled with wisdom, Biblical truth, and practical tips for navigating everyday situations, such as Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), comparison traps, perfectionism, friendships, conflicts and so much more. I read this side by side with my Bible and journal for note taking. The author's voice and humor is relatable, like having brunch with an encouraging and wise friend. The prayers and end of chapter benedictions resonated with me and strengthened my faith. I will be pre-ordering to have a physical copy for reference. I recommend reading through the entire book once (each chapter layers deeper in the depth of topic), but I also see myself reaching for this book whenever I'm struggling with the individual subjects. This book is a blessing and I'm so thankful I had an opportunity to review an advanced copy. Thank you to #NetGalley, Angie Smith, and Tyndale for the ARC. All views expressed are my own.
