First Giveaway & Book Review: Ramblings from the Shower by Faye Bryant

Yeah!!!
I am so excited...
I have my first giveaway!
Keep reading!!!


We got a bit of unexpected news 

about 2 weeks ago,
it is not lifeshattering,
just a minor hiccup...
BUT,  

I am the type to 

worry over EVERYTHING.

And in order to attempt to prevent

the worrying that I KNOW is coming,

I research and make calls and panic

and attempt to control the situations

and get impatient when 

other people don't share my priorities.

In the midst of all this worry

about what ifs...

I got another book in the mail.

It was one I was looking forward to reading.

The title alone got my interest!

"Ramblings from the Shower"

Ramble - that describes what frequently

comes out of my mouth

and what is constantly going on in my head
and occasionally what you guys
get the privilege of reading on here!

This book was perfectly timed

and I think I actually need to go back 

and read it

again!

This is the first time since college

(actually I am not sure I remember doing it then either)

that I have tabbed so many quotes

and passages in a book!

LOOK!

Here is the information I received on the book:

Faye Bryant | Ramblings from the Shower

ISBN-10: 1439240329 |ISBN-13: 978-1439240328 | Format: Soft Cover  | Pages: 210

What do you think about in the shower?

And where do those thoughts take you?

In “Ramblings from the Shower,” author Faye Bryant shares some of the thoughts that have come her way during the mundane task of everyday hygiene, and how those thoughts have compelled her to ask, “What about this, God? What do You think?”

Follow along as Faye shares through personal experience and revelation her conclusions on just what God does think.

Faye Bryant

Faye Bryant is an outspoken advocate for authentic Christianity, having lived as a mask-wearer for years. She has spoken before several groups on living real and loving raw. She has served on a church staff for over ten years. She is also a hobbyist photographer, a history buff and a menace at trivia games. She has been a wife… then an ex-wife… and is a wife again. Mom… then step-mom. Then step-grandmom. She has been rejected… then accepted. Abused… then loved. And she has learned how to love in return. She was whole… then cancer. She has battled with fear… then was brought to a place of peace. Now she is facing the future with hope and confidence in God. Meeting life right where it happens, through a variety of experiences, Faye has learned that life can hurt, but God’s love is real, and God never expects us to go it alone, or be something other than what He has called us to be. Through her warm and witty sense of humor, Faye now shares her faith and love for God alongside her husband Jack, through their church in the mountains of East Tennessee.

My Take:

LOVE!

There is no other way to say it.

It was like she was talking directly to me,

I felt like we were having a conversation.

I didn't have any "revelations" while reading it.

But I enjoyed every minute.

Her writing style was VERY easy to read.

She has wit & humor in the book

and I could definitely relate

to MOST of what she wrote about.

True life events,

integrity,

patience,

control,

finding the "good" in everything,

not judging others...

This book reminded me of what my job was

and what God's job is.

I *know* these things...

but for whatever reason,

I  need frequent reminders.

I have a hard time waiting on Him

to do things in HIS time

so I worry myself silly,

attempt to control things I have NO control over

and 

have little patience...

don't believe me

(ask my kids and husband! - ha!)

I have patience...

I just choose not to exercise that "gift"

as often as I should...

I finished reading the book in about 2 days.
