Book Review of 'Names of God: Knowing Peace' by Grace Fox

Happy Monday Bookworms!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. We kept things pretty low-key due to the family feeling a little under the weather (gotta love allergies!), but we were able to go to a small family barbecue on Saturday, and I enjoyed getting to see people I don’t get to see that often. I cherish these moments so much, as it seems as time passes, it becomes harder and harder to get everyone together. 

During our time together, one of the topics that was brought up was faith, and one thing that’s always fascinated me is the different names for God in the Bible, which is exactly what the book I am featuring today delves deeper into. I hope you enjoy my thoughts on this Devotional Study and don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of this post and enter the amazing giveaway from JustRead Tours!

About the Book

Title: Names of God: Knowing Peace 
Series: Names of God Devotional Studies #2 
Author: Grace Fox 
Publisher: Aspire Press 
Release Date: July 8, 2025 
Genre: Christian Living; Devotional study

Peace. 

The very word evokes images of serene landscapes and quiet stillness. In today’s chaotic world, peace is a valuable commodity. The Bible has a lot to say about peace, claiming that God himself is the ultimate source. In this follow-up to Names of God: Living Unafraid, Grace Fox reflects on how the following names of God point to the peace our souls so desperately crave:  

Yahweh Shalom—The Lord Is Peace 

Abba—Father 

El Shaddai—God Almighty 

El Roi—The God Who Sees Me 

Yahweh Ori—The Lord Is My Light 

Yahweh Nissi—The Lord Is My Banner 

Immanuel—God with Us 

Knowing Peace uses examples from Scripture and compelling real-life stories to illustrate how these names can bring inner peace amid life’s storms. Each session includes a guided prayer, reflection questions, and a video link providing additional insights from Grace. Perfect for individual or group study, this new addition to the Names of God series will encourage and inspire readers to draw near to God and receive his peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Review of 'Moms Raising Sons to Be Men' by Rhonda Stoppe

Hello Mama Bookworms!

Hi.  I am Christi and I am a mom of only boys.  I always wanted a little girl when I was in my baby making years, but God blessed me with two boys that are my light and my life instead.  Seeing all my friends go through what they're going through with their teenage daughters right now makes me thank God that He knew what he was doing and didn't listen to me.  I don't think I could handle a girl!  Not to say that raising boys is any easier, but it suits me just fine.

One thing I have always been thankful for are the invaluable resources out there that help us moms that are raising boys, a job that is very important, and one I do not take lightly.  Which is why I'm excited to be featuring a wonderful resource that guides moms to raising their sons to be men.

You’ll discover how motherhood gives you unique opportunities to grow in faith as you draw nearer to God through prayer, Bible study, and mentorship from godly women. You’ll also find practical advice for shaping your son in character and faith as you encourage his passions, teach him biblical masculinity, and protect his spirit without smothering his individuality. 

Your success as a mother doesn’t depend on what your son does with his life, but on how you obey God’s guidance on this mission of motherhood. Moms Raising Sons to Be Men provides the biblical hope, wisdom, and encouragement you need to help your son live a life without regrets!

“You will be encouraged, enlightened, and empowered to become the mom you’ve always wanted to be—and to guide your son into becoming the man God intended.”

Review of 'Where is God in This?' by Landra Young Hughes

HELLO BOOKWORMS!

It's been awhile since I've read a Christian Nonfiction that made me stop and really think about where God fits into my current issues.  I've struggled with a chronic illness my entire life and lately things have been worse than they have ever been.  It's so easy to feel like I am going at this all alone and, though I know this is a lie, I also wonder where God is when I am in such severe pain.  Read on to read my full review of Where is God in This? by Landra Young Hughes to see how this resource touched my spirit.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Where is God in This? 

Author: Landra Young Hughes    

Publisher: Baker Books 

Release Date: October 18, 2022 

Genre: Christian Living

Life is unfair. Bad things happen to good people. Not all dreams come true. We lose people. We fail people. And when we encounter the inevitable struggles of life, we may be tempted to ask God Why me? as we try to reconcile our pain with God’s promises. But a far more helpful and life-enriching question for us to ask God is What are you trying to teach me in this?

Tackling ten common struggles, such as isolation, fear, rejection, failure, insecurity, temptation, and more, Landra Young Hughes shows you how to have peace even when life doesn’t make sense. Speaking with great empathy born from her own losses and years in ministry, Hughes doesn’t suggest you “get over” your hard times. Instead, she helps you recognize that, while you will always live in a broken world this side of heaven, your pain has much to teach you about God and yourself. With her empathetic help, you’ll discover how to grow through grief and thrive despite adversity.

Book Review: A Book Called You by Matthew Stephen Brown

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: A Book Called You

Author: Matthew Stephen Brown

Publisher: Orchard View Publishing

Release Date: October 5, 2021

Genre: Christian Nonfiction

Consider the possibility Enneagram types of well-known figures in the Bible to discover more about yourself and gain specific wisdom about how and why you are uniquely made.

Who am I? Everyone asks that question, no matter their age or status in life. If we’re truly supposed to be real with others, shouldn’t that start by learning how to be real with ourselves?

The Enneagram describes nine basic personality styles which can help us better understand who we are and what drives us.  When God designed you, He did not create you as a number but as a uniquely created individual. Your Enneagram type can give you great insight into the complexities of yourself and others. A Book Called YOU will show you how a biblical view of self-discovery can improve every part of your life, and includes:

• The potential Enneagram type of well-known biblical figures like Peter, David, Abraham, King Saul, and more 
• The character, core motivation, and core weaknesses of each Enneagram type
• Advice on how to best love each personality type 
• How to pray specifically for each Enneagram type

Based on his widely successful teaching series "A Series Called You," pastor Matt Brown offers a groundbreaking, entertaining, and heartfelt guide that highlights biblical truths alongside the Enneagram to help us fully embrace who we are and help us love and relate to the people around us.

We live in a loud, loud world.

Whether it's the criticism of others, the clamor of injustice, or the voice of anxiety from within, we are constantly being bombarded with noise.

Jamie Grace has lived in the middle of noise for most of her life. Many know her as a singer with radio hits who has spent the last decade on stages and in front of the camera, but behind the scenes, she has struggled with Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, and an anxiety disorder for most of her life. But in the middle of both inner and outer noise, Jamie has learned how to manage the negative effects of her diagnoses, make the most of her strengths, and lean into the journey God has led her on.

A journey of Finding Quiet.
