Dec. 17, 2023 ‘Life is Messy, God is Good’ by Cynthia Yanof was a pretty good read with a lighthearted, straight-forward, laid-back tone that made it easy to follow along and relate to.

Chapters 1 and 6 spoke to me the most. Chapter 1 spoke on understanding the significance of being uniquely anointed by God. Being anointed isn’t just a title or label; it symbolizes a divine appointment for us to impact the world around u ..read more

When the Dogs Bark made me see things in new and revelatory ways, specifically our relationship with God as born-again Christians, and even though the book would appeal more to those who own dogs or love animals in general, I believe those who don't necessarily fit into this category can still learn a lot ..read more
