From Blah to Awe by Jenna Lucado Bishop




GREAT JOB Jenna Lucado Bishop! This was a wonderful book and I just wish it would have been available as I was raising my daughters! However - I do have 3 beautiful grand daughters!

A description of the book: 
     "You know God loves you, but you don't feel very loved.  From time to time, going to church and reading the Bible seem...well, a little blah.  
       Jenna Lucado Bishop shares her testimony and others' stories to explore what a radical, living relationship with God looks like and how the Bible can help you hunger and thirst for more of God.  You'll discover how to keep your faith fresh and vibrant and alive."

I greatly enjoyed reading this from a Mother/Grandmother's perspective because Jenna talks to girls the way it should be done. She gives encouragement, great tips on having a faith that is real, she's not preachy and she gives you the feeling that she's been there and KNOWS what she's talking about. She uses real life examples that girls will relate to and enjoy reading. This is not a boring book on faith - but one with shoes on it. - It will step into your life and walk around with you.

Jenna Lucado Bishop is the daughter of best-selling author Max Lucado. She has a passion for writing and speaking just like her dad! She has also written "Redefining Beautiful" and is  a part of "The Revolve Tour," which is an event for teen girls. 

Leave a comment about why you might like to read this book or give it as a gift to your daughter, granddaughter, niece or any teen girl in your life and your name will be put into a drawing for a free copy.  The drawing for the free copy will close on Sunday, February 26th at noon. 

Thank you Overture Media/Thomas Nelson for providing a free copy for review process and for give-away.
