Review: Unglued Devotional by Lysa TerKeurst

Unglued Devotional: 60 Days to Imperfect Progress 

by Lysa TerKeurst


 The Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress,  is a 60 day devotional book written by Lysa TerKeurst to accompany her original book, Unglued. This quick, 60 day devotional was written to help Christians learn to cope with their emotions and become what God really wants us to be.

 In the Unglued Devotional, Lysa TerKeurst starts each day with a scripture followed by a 'Thought for the Day' to reflect on. Next, is a short passage about the obstacles Lysa faced, how she overcame them, and how you can, too. After the Lysa's passage, the daily devotion is ended with a prayer for the day. 
  
Regardless of what stirs inside you and sets you off, Lysa  TerKeurst can show you how to change your ways, cope with stress, and control your reactions when things don't go as planned. This amazing little devotional can help you learn to how to control your anger and emotional outburst during stressful events that occur in real, everyday life.

Stephanie's Review of the Unglued Devotional

   Before finding the Unglued Devotional on BookSneeze, I  had never heard of Unglued or Lysa TerKeurst. The fact that it was a devotional about managing your emotions made me want to give it a try. Trust me, I am the first one to admit that I can fly off the handle. Okay, maybe fly is an understatement- ROCKET is probably more like it. 

  I received my review copy in the mail last week and quickly began to flip through it. I was excited to see that the daily passages where short and simple and wouldn't require 30 minutes to read. Obviously something I could do in the morning before work, on a quick break at work, or anywhere else that I had 5 minutes to sit, read and reflect. 

  Though Lysa keeps each devotional short, it's packed full of obstacles we all face in our daily lives, how she handled them, and how we should all handle them in order to stay sane, and strengthen our relationship with God. 

  Lysa does a great job of keeping you engaged and writing as if she is sitting next to you drinking a cup of coffee, iced green tea- That's right, she said in the very beginning she prefers iced green tea. Her devotions are written in a tone so that you can connect and relate, with a subtle -I'm a friend here to listen and encourage - approach. 

If you are quick to fly off the handle or looking for a great little devotional then I would highly recommend Unglued Devotional. After reading the devotional, I am now seeking the original book, Unglued.

Review: The New Life by Betty A. Burnett

About The New Life by Betty A. Burnett

   The New Life, by Betty A. Burnett, is an inspirational book written to help followers of Christ learn more about salvation. Whether you are a new believer, or have questions about salvation, The New Life, will help you understand more about what it truly means to be saved through Christ and obtain salvation.

   Author Betty A. Burnett did a great job of writing The New Life, so that people of ages, including teenagers could understand what she is trying to teach. This books starts from the very beginning with God's plan for us. The first chapter starts with Genesis and tells of how and why God created man, along with why He loves of dearly. 



Stephanie's Review of The New Life 

After receiving a copy of The New Life from BookSneeze.com to review, I sat down and read the entire book in less than two days since it is not very long. I had hoped the book would have went more in depth on 'the right things to do' and how to do them, but it didn't. It did focus on salvation, how to avoid being corrupted by the devil, and God Almighty's purpose for us.
Again, while I had hoped to learn more about strengthening my relationship with Jesus, I did find this book useful for a few things I didn't already understand.  I can fully appreciate Author Betty A. Burnett's time and wisdom to create such a teaching so that others can learn more about Jesus Christ and God's plan for all of us.
