The Middle Matters {Review}


In her newest book, The Middle Matters, author Lisa-Jo Baker shares some of her insights and wisdom about middle age.  Through personal stories and reflections, she shares how middle age sometimes gets a bad rap.  With our bodies showing the passage of time, but our minds still feeling 20 years old, middle age can be rough.  But it can also be the sweet spot where we finally embrace who we are: wrinkle, gray hair, strong opinions, and all.  

This was my first exposure of this author.  And she is a wonderful story teller.  Baker writes with humorous insight into marriage, parenthood, and love handles.  However, what I didn't realize is this: The Middle Matters is a collection of short essays and personal stories.  It really has more to do with the author herself than communicating truth about women in middle age.  That's ok if your enjoy a collection of essays.  I do not.  This book felt like "light" Christianity: full of fluff, without a lot of substance.

Sadly, I cannot recommend this book.  There really wasn't enough there to make it worth my time and I ended up skimming a majority of it.

Truth Unchanging {Review}


Author Becky Thompson continues in her true to life fashion in her latest devotional, Truth Unchanging.  Similar to her previous work, Thompson's voice is conversational, concise, and impactful.  Each excerpt is meant to be read in short time spans, but the truth is still deep without being "fluff and stuff."  What I mean is, the author really hits on Biblical principles that stand the test of time and work to develop true character.

This devotional takes you through the expanse of both Old and New Testaments, relating Biblical stories to deep life truths, and then attaching them to the significance of motherhood.  Proving once again that the Lord's truths are certainly unchanging across the test of time.  I have yet to finish this devotional, but am savoring my reading in it.  Ideal for reading along side the Bible, Truth Unchanging serves as a great encouragement and inspiration in the pockets of time during the season of motherhood.

*Disclaimer: I received this book free from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
