"Well Lived: Shaping a Legacy of Gratitude and Grace" by Sally Clarkson—Review

 My Review:

"Well Lived: Shaping a Legacy of Gratitude and Grace" by Sally Clarkson is such a lovely and encouraging book! I love Sally Clarkson and her books never fail to leave me feeling inspired in my faith. This beautiful book is filled with photos of Oxford (and her time living there), along with her warm words, wisdom, and encouragement. The photographs alone make the book worth purchasing. When reading this book, I felt like I was sitting down with a sweet, wise mentor over a cup of tea. I love all the Scripture the book features and incorporates. Some of the things Ms. Clarkson shares about in the book are motherhood, being a light bearer and bringing beauty and truth to the world. The author calls each woman to embrace her own story, to become a queen over her domain and to leave a legacy of wisdom, love, gratitude, and grace. I loved how she shares practical ways to do these things. This book would make a beautiful gift or coffee table book, and I am so happy to have it in my collection. I highly recommend this amazing book!

A Wonderful Devotional Companion!--"GraceLaced Seasons" by Ruth Chou Simons--Review

 

My Review: 

“GraceLaced Seasons: A Guided Companion” by Ruth Chou Simons is a gorgeous devotional companion and journal, meant to accompany her popular “GraceLaced: Discovering Timeless Truths Through Seasons of the Heart.” I loved “GraceLaced” when it first came out and cherish my beautiful copy. I have thoroughly enjoyed going back through it along with “GraceLaced Seasons.”  The guided companion can be used alone or with the original “GraceLaced” book. This journal has Ruth’s gorgeous signature watercolor artwork of flowers and nature throughout, which really enhances the reading experience and draws your mind to the beauty of God’s creation. There are Scripture and questions on each spread, which correspond with the “GraceLaced” book. The questions are thought-provoking and there is a lot of room on each page to journal your answers, thoughts, or prayers. I really appreciated the questions, because I do not always know what to write in a journal and it deepened the devotional and reading experience. Writing out my answers really helped to cement the truths in my heart and to be available to reflect, pause and slow down. I love that it is focused on God’s faithful promises. It really encouraged me and brought me closer to the Lord! I highly recommend this book and the original! It would be a great gift as well!
