The third and final book in the God’s Way series emphasizes the freedom that comes from recognizing that God desires good things for us. Although I recommend reading all three books in order, you could read this one alone.

I love how each chapter contains commentary, Scriptural references, and questions to ponder. I recommend taking time to meditate on each chapter. This book illustrates how taking time to know God allows us to follow Him more.

So check out this book for yourself if you are looking for a devotional to help you know God better and follow Him more.

I want to encourage readers to grab a copy of this book if you are wanting to be encouraged and grow in Christ. The first chapter sets the stage for a thoughtful study that first and foremost reminds us that , “God is good, and God is love.” Even in our darkest moments we need to remember that we are unconditionally loved and are never alone. I think I forget sometimes that I’m never alone and try to handle situations on my own. Of course it doesn’t quite turn out the way I want it because I’m letting pride get in the way.

I like the way that the book is set up with a topic for each chapter. The author gives us illustrations to expand on the subject and follows up with scripture reading and questions at the end. The chapters are not long, but they sure have powerful insights that I needed to read. I feel like I have been in a slump lately and need to reenergize. How do I fill myself back up? I started with this book and began to see how the enemy has been whispering lies to me. I suddenly felt that stir in my soul and began to realize I needed to drink from God’s Word.

The chapter I liked the most and struggled with the most was about forgiveness. In the last week I have had to really pray hard for God to help me in a situation. What I learned from this chapter was the struggle with pride and anger. Sometimes we just want to ignore that word “forgiveness” but God won’t let us forget. In the end dies it matter that someone has hated you for forty years and still holds a grudge? What about the list of wrongdoings they have written down? I took ideas from this book and have started to apply it to my situation. First I needed to pray not just for me but for the other person. I can’t undo the past, but I can be forgiven from God. I needed to remember to, “Judge not, that you be not judged.”

I really enjoyed the book and found it very helpful as a tool to use everyday to remind myself how to overcome obstacles that make me struggle in my walk.

Let’s face it, life doesn’t always go according to plan. But even during times of pain, heartbreak, and more God remains with us. This book illustrates that fact and shows how we may live the way God intended for us. At the end of each chapter, the author posted questions to be answered. It confirms how we have unique journeys and God's plans for each of our lives.

The author guides the reader on a journey of transformation and encouragement. Following in the footsteps of her other book Broken to Beautiful, this book deserves to read, study, and savored. So check out this book for yourself.

If you haven’t had a chance to read the author’s other book called Broken To Beautiful, it is a must read. Her newest book continues to encourage readers as she guides us through being transformed. I love her writing that is honest and shares scriptures to give us a deeper insight to subjects in the book. This past year has been hard for many and reading this book reenforces how we need uplifting words.

The book is chocked full of wisdom and I took out my journal to write some of them down to look at later. We all want to be blessed and I love how the author says, “He uses those blessings to nudge us forward in pursuit of what He has called us to do.” He wants us to be encouraged on our journey that He has prepared for us. When we are blessed our outlook is more joyful and we tend to pursue Him more with thanksgiving.

Each chapter touches on a different subject and includes at the end three sections to further your study. I decided I was going to use this as a Bible study/devotional. I started writing in my journey and before I knew it I had spent hours on just two chapters. They are short chapters but filled with so much info that I found helpful.

As the book moves from blessing to transformation I eagerly anticipated the words God had for me. “To be transformed by God means we have the Holy Spirit living within us, and the many blessings we experience should be shared with others to testify to God’s goodness.” I remember very clearly when I rededicated my life to Christ. I couldn’t wait to tell everyone. I felt refreshed, renewed and joyful. My burdens were gone and I was transformed into a new person. Nothing feels better than to be in His presence and then sharing the good news with others.

I am hopeful as I share this review that others will pick up a copy of this book. Inside is words that speak directly to our heart. The author clearly loves the Lord and her joy is contagious. Trust God with everything and He will show you joy, peace and unconditional love as we transform into a child of God. I want to be like David who had an intimate relationship with God. Don’t we all want to be Blessed and Transformed?
