My Thoughts on Fly a Little Higher

 

After I received Fly a Little Higher: How God Answered a Mom's Small Prayer in a Big Way, I was a little apprehensive to read the book. A decent size book about a kids struggle with cancer. Could be really good or it could be a big waste of time. I thought the book was excellent. I wanted to keep reading.

I love how Laura, the mom was very open and honest. She shared many of the struggles along they way that they all faced. I can't really imagine being placed in her shoes, but I got a small glimpse of what it may be like. Am I anywhere near that open and honest?

My life really isn't that bad. When I have a rough day, I just need to think about the Sobeich family and realize that I really don't have things that badly. They dealt with their tough struggles with such grace. I need to deal with the small struggles that are placed before me with grace.

The family relied heavily on their faith during this time. I didn't like that it sounded like they believed that works would get them to heaven, but they never directly said what they believed. Because this was not dwelled on, I think that what they believed in this area doesn't have a great impact on the messages that were presented in the book.

Zach wrote a song to say goodbye which has become very famous.

The Case for Christ Student Edition by Lee Strobel {Book Review}

Lee Strobel was a journalist that went out to prove that Christianity is false. Part of his research and findings are included in the The Case For Christstudent edition. I love the conciseness of this book. In my mind, if someone didn't believe in Christ, they may pick up this student edition over the full blown book. Partly for that reason, I wish that they would not call this book a student edition, but maybe something like an abridged version.

Lee Strobel divides this book into 3 sections. First, he talks about who is this Jesus? Then he moves on to talk about how reliable is the information about Christ? Thirdly, he talks about can a dead man come back to life? 

He starts as one who doesn't believe anything about Christ being true, and then presents the evidence that he finds. He ends up with a thriving relationship with Christ. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't believe that Jesus is real or to anyone who would like to deepen their faith in Christ. That includes everyone right?

Wonder Women by Kate Harris {Book Review}

Ever feel like as a woman you have to be the best at everything? Wonder Women gives lots of stats to prove that you are not along. Also, advice is given in order to help you balance all that you are trying to do in life.

I really liked the definition of vocation that is given in this book. Vocation is a lifelong response to God's voice. This definition has nothing to do with what your career looks like, what your family looks like, or even what you look like. Vocation has everything to do with how you are responding to the voice of God. Wouldn't that stop a lot of mommy battles?

I can't say that I was a huge fan of this book. Partly, because I am not a big fan of stats. I am glad for the challenge that this book presents though that we don't have to do everything well.
