PUTTING GOD BACK IN THE HOLIDAYS
This is a book that will definitely NOT leave my personal library; it is a keeper for study and reference! I have read a lot of books on putting God into the holidays we celebrate and was always disappointed. They were shallow and weak without much information about how to really include Him. Usually they only mentioned the main celebrations, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Valentines Day. This book covers those plus 11 more I have never seen a book deal with!
This book is amazing! It truly shows you how to not only make sure God is the center of your celebrations but also gives you heart searching activities and Bible studies to really dig deep and observe the holiday from a biblical perspective. They dont just make puny to do lists or add more secular doings; they really give you tools and guides to accomplish this.
Each holiday has an in depth Bible study about focusing on God. I like the fact there were lots of scripture references.
One of my favorite chapters was the one on New Years and setting goals. I cant wait to apply it! I have a totally different view of going into the New Year with purpose and hope!
Both authors share their insights and experiences for the holidays. When you read this book you will never look at another holiday in the same way again!
Although my family will not be able to use every suggestion, there are many we can, and things I can apply individually. I was inspired and uplifted by this book.
It help me see that by keeping my focus on God I wont get side-tracked by Satans worldly devices that wear me down and steal the joy I can experience with each celebration.
In exchange for my honest review, I received a copy of the book from Moody
Publishers.
