Book Review of "Declutter" by Barbara Canon

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Declutter: Cleaning Out Your Spiritual Basement
Author: Barbara Sanon
Publisher: LakeView Publication
Release Date: March 28, 2022
Genre: Spiritual Growth

Is your life overwhelming you?

Do you struggle with believing for better in your future when all you see reminds you of your past? Do you find it difficult to find peace? Barbara has a word for you!

While seeking God about a circumstance in her life, with no warning, God addressed another issue in her life. Her past. God showed Barbara a visual picture analogy of her past being like a basement. A basement is where a homeowner places things they don’t need or have room for in their house, but over time, if not dealt with, a basement can become a place of cluttered defeat. If Barbara wanted a life of victory, God needed to help her clean out the clutter she had accumulated in her spiritual basement. Barbara documents this journey and shows you through the steps she learned from God how you too can live your life empowered and DECLUTTERED!

Blog Tour: The Power of 1440 by Tim Timberlake

The Power of 1440 JustRead Blog Tour 

Welcome to the Blog Tour for The Power of 1440 by Tim Timberlake, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Power of 1440

Title: The Power of 1440
Author: Tim Timberlake
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: March 9, 2021
Genre: Christian Life/Personal Growth

A thirty-day story-driven manual to celebrate the importance and blessing of each of the 1,440 minutes we are given every day, written by an up-and-coming lead pastor of a global church. 

The son of a preacher, eighteen-year-old Tim Timberlake’s tragic and painful personal story of the sudden loss of his father began his journey toward seeing the benefit and blessing of each day. And not just to get through it, but to exhaust every opportunity of potential of that day, moment by moment, fulfilling his God-given purpose. 

Today Pastor Tim inspires others to approach each day with its 1,440 minutes in a way that they live out their own God-given purposes and passions. Comprised of thirty bite-size chapters, The Power of 1440 is a day-by-day manual to help readers deal with topics like forgiveness, perspective, mistakes, rest, and living a life that matters. He says, “Win some, learn some . . . but never lose.” 

Every day should be magnificent, not mundane; filled with delight, not drudgery; and a grand adventure, not a grind. It is possible to make today and every day truly remarkable.

Blog Tour: Is It Just Me? by Grace Valentine

Is it Just Me JustRead Blog Tour 

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Is It Just Me? by Grace Valentine, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Is It Just Me

Title: Is It Just Me?
Author: Grace Valentine
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: February 9, 2021
Genre: Christian Life/Women's Issues

An anthem for every woman who is weary of living a life in which she knows the right answers but does not believe them. 

Is It Just Me? is a book by a popular social media blogger that helps young women find true trust in Jesus when they are overwhelmed and frustrated with their lives.  

Many women joke about having trust issues—laughing at their struggle because it feels common but secretly feeling there is no hope. Grace Valentine was one of them. In her twenties she realized her trust issues were not humorous because in reality hers were trust issues with Jesus, her community, her family, and herself. And they were destroying her faith. Grace creatively told herself she was simply being realistic, but the truth was, she was entangled with doubt and lies. 

In Grace’s second book, Is It Just Me?, she offers readers a new perspective by helping them find answers to five deeply felt questions.
  • Am I the only one who is tired, overwhelmed, doubting, and fearful?
  • Am I the only one who feels hurt and lonely?
  • Am I the only one who still is struggling to find my purpose?
  • Am I the only one struggling to trust that God is there?
  • Am I the only one confused about how to be an adult?
Grace’s personal story and perceptive insights show other young women that not only are they are not alone, they can trust God in the middle of their hurts, doubts, and fears.
