Lysa Terkeurst’s transparency is evident throughout the book. I could relate to many things mentioned in her book such as the desire to receive the Really Good Mommy Reward.
The book is practical and applicable to everyday life. I especially enjoyed the part of how to study the bible verse by verse. I thought that was for the really smart bible girls. Lysa broke it down step by step and gave an example to follow. It’s the first time, I didn’t get lost in trying to figure out how to study the bible.
She talks about gossip. It can not only harm others but can shut them down. Instead, focus on giving uplifting words to other women. If you can find a woman who you can trust to tell anything to, I would treasure that friendship. It’s easy to be friends with anyone. Real, true friends are few indeed. Guard that friend as if your life depends on it. She is your lifeline when the going gets tough.
Jesus is the glue that holds us together. Make sure you spend quality time in prayer with Him. It doesn’t have to be at a specific time at a specific place. It’s in your heart. We are spoiled in America – at least for the present moment. Give thanks in all things. They are all around us if we take the time to look.
I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with their daily life and their relationship with Jesus. I have no doubt, Lysa is the real deal.
