My Review:

What a beautifully written book that encourages us and shows that the Maker of the universe cares for us in all things and when we need Him the most.

Each chapter has a scripture and then it goes into the author sharing a personal story about her life after a serious illness developed. Her writing style is connectable and personable to the reader in a gentle style. Then the next part of the chapter gives encouragement from the scriptures and the personal story. Each chapter has several scripture passages and quotes. Other things like Questions to Ponder, recommended playlists, and more. The chapter ends with a prayer.

The Companion workbook mirrors the book but goes into a workbook style to answer the questions. A great tool for journaling with the book.

The book is encouraging and someone who is struggling with pain or being overwhelmed. I don’t usually read this style of book. This was a good encourager. I wouldn’t call it a study book.

Disclosure: I received this complimentary product through Celebrate Lit Bloggers in exchange for my honest thoughts.

About the Author

Karen Brough is an Australian wife, mother, and former Primary School Teacher & has always had a passion for writing. She is the author of ‘Be Held by Him’ Finding God when life knocks you off your feet.

Ten years ago, when hit by a mystery illness, Karen began sharing the encouragement God gave to her, with others. Her heart loves nothing better than to demystifying how and who God is in the everyday and the miraculous.

She loves spending time with her husband and children. In Summer, you’ll find her enjoying the water and offering gelato to anyone who might drop by. In Winter, she makes soups, breads, and muffins. Often hiding vegetables in sweet recipes, much to her children’s dismay (secretly they love it though).

More from Karen

I wrote this book because I was given a dream to do it. I’d had my life turned upside down through medical mystery, and yet in it, God revealed His heart of love for me; and for those who are walking through the tough of life.

At every point, God unveiled every detail of the book, through dreams, verses, songs, life events and so much more. This book series is a testament to His miraculous, hope filled and loving hand, which is ready to pick us up, hold us tenderly and show us the next step. He speaks in ways each one of us understands, and I LOVE this about Him.
