Torn by Jud Wilhite

Torn: Trusting God When Life Leaves You in Pieces is an excellent read. We all face trials in life. This book encourages readers to persevere and to cling to God through it all. The book is divided into two parts: trusting God when torn and putting the pieces back together. If you’re struggling now, have struggled in the past, or expect to struggle in the future, this book is worth your read. It’s written in an easy to understand style that was easy to relate to.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

Stumbling Into Grace by Lisa Harper

In this engaging book, Lisa Harper shares her heart, life, and insight with readers. The subtitle of the book, “Confessions of a Sometimes Spiritually Clumsy Woman” is so fitting. This book is written in a real, let’s sit down and chat sort of conversational style. Harper is real and has no problem sharing personal stories – even some less than flattering ones! Using stories as a way to introduce Biblical concepts, Harper writes in such a way that really pulls the reader in to what she is trying to say. The book is divided into three sections: real life, real gifts, and real growth. She ends the chapters with a prayer, questions for personal reflection and/or group discussion, and a journal entry prompt. Through this, it is apparent that Harper wants the reader to really engage and internalize what she is saying. This is more than just a book to read. It’s truth to sink in. To change. To transform. I thorough enjoyed reading this book and felt that I had left a good, funny conversation with Harper.
