Lies Young Women Believe (A Short Review)

Picture this. The sun is shining. The palm trees are the only sound around. The ocean is write in front of you, as blue as it can get in the Caribbean. You just applied some sunscreen so-points for self care, you're ready to tan as you open a great book. That's the scene I was in about 3 weeks ago. I was lounging on the sandy beaches of Jamaica for my summer vacation. It was great. But that's not the point. Let's zoom in on our mental picture. The book on my lap. It's called:

                           Lies Young Women Believe 
  •  It's by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth and Dannah Gresh, and was a gift to me from my mom. I. Loved. It. With. A. Passion. The book focuses on lies that young Christian women believe (and NON christian too but you get my point) and how God's Word and his truth sets them free. My rating goes to-

That's how good it was, y'all. Alright now for my pros and cons list!

        Pros

  • It was written by two wise, adult Christian women, who know their stuff
  • It surveyed plenty of young women for their thoughts and responses
  • It was SO SO SO relatable. I found myself nodding at every chapter
  • It's concise, easy to read, and doesn't overwhelm you
  • It's deep. Grand Canyon deep.
       Cons
  • It could have used more in depth Bible study (although there's a study guide companion so...)
  • A few of the questions could have been used to reach out to non believers a little more
 I really can't think of any more cons, it was that great. I highly recommend reading it and enjoying the learning experience it gives. Remember, Christian reading is just as, probably even more beneficial than secular. Enjoy!

P.S- Today I leave for a trip, so don't expect to hear from me too much until next week! Ta-ta!

Planning Fails

By -

    When I opened this tab to start writing, it began to rain outside. It still is, right now, as I stare out the window, the sky is grey and water pours over the trees and roof. This is making me think about how, later this week, my family wants to go to the beach. I immediately hope our plans won't be ruined by the rain. And that leads us to today's post.    I am most definitely a TYPE A  person. I like things planned and under control, preferably under  my  control. I make lists and schedules and set reminders on my phone. (Don't let this make you think I'm organized, I'm really not.This actually tends to balance out with the fact that I'm also extremely forgetful, a bit chaotic and I tend to misplace things all the time). So when my plans get messed up, I get a little upset. Ok, a lot upset.    There are so many examples I can give. When I finished seventh grade, and a week before eight grade started, my parents had to make the in...

Why Should I Bother?

    I was fifteen, sitting on the cafeteria table during a summer camp I was working. Surrounded by other volunteers and a couple of the adult teachers. My best friend, who was working the camp with me, sat on a chair below. Somehow, we had switched subjects from the hilarity of the kids we were taking care of, to politics. One of the adult teachers was from Eastern Europe, with a heavy accent and a big smile. We had grown to like him pretty well. Yet he was the leader of a group of teenagers who were advocating for socialism in America, demeaning our government, and overall just spouting wrong information. I was floored, and my best friend made eye contact as if to ask ‘should we say something?’.     It can’t be lost on anyone that we’re faced with this sort of decision often in our country. A country of free speech, of opinions and change. I love living in a place where we can defend our opinions, speak up without fear. But sometimes, I find myself and others si...

   Ok, so this review is a little out of place because I never reviewed the first one but I HAD TO because I love this book so much my heart shattered and is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. It's Legendary by Stephanie Garber (check out the post on our IG @thepageflippers) and is the sequel to Caraval . Here's the summary you get online for both ( just so you have an idea on what the first one is about and aren't completely lost. Totally not to remind myself.) Caraval:   Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their ruthless father. Now Scarlett's father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the legendary, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over. But this year, Scarlett's long-dreamt-of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor who she has just met, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only, as soo...
