Be Salt and Light and Find Your Why…
As with any book I never just dismiss it even when I don’t agree with some of it. I always try to find things I can take away. I felt this one was one I could take some things and leave more than I took. There were some good points. Some great self reflection questions. I felt it was a difference in theology. I will leave it at that.
I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Highly recommend for all Christian's out there.
Just Getting Started: Stepping with Courage into God's Call for the Next Stage of Life by Wendy Peter is a fabulous book that encourages readers to follow their dreams at any age. Looking into the Scriptures and calling on her own life experiences, the author shows the purpose we were designed for. This book is such an encouragement, a breath of fresh air for anyone needing a little push to start pursuing their dreams. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I was really excited about this book, but as I started reading, it was like I was blocked from really enjoying it. I got to chapter two and just couldn't go on. Maybe I'll try again later, but it's a no for now.
I loved reading this book and it's one that will be taking a permanent spot on my bedside table to remind me to step into God's plan for me with relatable stories Wendy shows you how to Step into God's plan and vision
I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.
I enjoyed this book because of it's writing style, unique topic, and the fact that it really provided a thought-provoking experience. Recommended for readers who want to read slowly so as to take time to process.
You are never too young or too old to reinvent your life, step into a new dream, or get started on a new project!
Author, Wendy Peter, is 50 years old and proves that you are never too old or too young to have a dream. The book's goal is to help you come into alignment with the dreams God has for you. It is not a book to be rushed through. You are provided thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter and given specific tasks to help you visualize and find ways to reach dreams. As a reader, you will find ways to accomplish your goals as well as see examples of many different types of dreams from home to work to spiritual and fitness. The book shows you that nothing is too big or too small to be a dream.
Peter's writing style is very informative but keeps you interested, she has examples from people she knows that doesn't go on too long but are a great parable to explanation and make you think. She acknowledges that we grow and change and that it is okay that our dreams may change along with us.
This book is a short read that will get you thinking and can come back to for inspiration for times to come. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
