Susie Larson

This is a Christian nonfiction book about how we live out each day seeking God’s will for every moment. Susie Larson’s premise is to show us how valuable we are to Christ and how important it is to say no to the things that God is not calling us to and to say yes to His ultimate plan for each day. The idea behind saying yes to God is to bring glory to Him in all we do. She shows us how through scripture and theological wisdom as well as stories from her own walk with Christ. She shares her experiences with us to show us how God’s best for us brings freedom, passion and joy to our everyday lives.

It is beautifully written with a very encouraging tone. There are spiritual principles and some very practical daily application that I took from this book. It is loaded with scriptural messages straight from the mouth of God to embrace us as His own. There is a lot of grace and mercy in Mrs. Larson’s words.

The format is one that can be read on one’s own or with a study group. In fact, she is starting an online study for this book in the next week or so. It closes each chapter with prayer, personal reflection questions, A Wise Word block, group discussion starters and a Faith Declaration statement. If you are looking for studies for your small group Susie Larson offers this format in several of her books.

If you are living a crazy busy life and feeling burned out and tired I encourage you to read what Mrs. Larson has to say. This is a book for people of all walks of life. The message is timeless and spans across ages to reach us where we are right now. This message is one we all need.

Overall, I enjoyed the book very much and would give it a 4 out of 5 stars. I would gladly read other books my Mrs. Larson. She has a beautiful spirit about her writing and this book really gave me pause to think about how I live my days for Christ. There are changes I will make based on what she has shared. Thank you to her for pouring out her heart in this very helpful and encouraging book.

I am a reviewer for Bethany House Books and I have been given a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This is as honest as I get. :)… (más)

Prepare Him Room is meant to prepare readers for Christmas, but this Advent devotional is definitely one that can be used throughout the year. There are twenty-four entries that take us on a journey through Luke's gospel, beginning with Luke 1, and each day focuses on another chapter. Author Susie Larsen helps us view Jesus's life with a new perspective, as she shares Bible scripture, an inspiring devotion, a suggested prayer, and a closing thought for further reflection.

'As you cultivate a life of intimacy with God, and an expectancy around His ways, you'll find yourself more ready to settle into His plan, even if you don't understand it.'

Prepare Him Room is a wonderful resource, and I recommend it to all who want to deepen their understanding of God's Word.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.… (más)
