Unclutter your soul by Trina McNeilly

This book asks us to look at our mind and soul as we would the craft closet after Christmas. Oh my! Or whatever area of your home might be cluttered. I compare it to that popular TV show where one person wants a new home and the spouse wants their current home renovated so there is more space for everything to fit in.

We are challenged to look at our soul and mind to see the clutter that keeps us from feeling good about ourselves. Could it be unhealthy thoughts of fear leading to extreme anxiety which can keep us bound to our recliner knowing that our friends or family are having a good day out?

Ideally, we want our heart, mind, and soul to have room for laughter, growth, prayer, and serving our God not negativity.

I am taking time to go back and take notes. I want to go over them with my counselor as I strive to be the best I can be.

I would like to thank NetGalley and W Publishing Group, Thomas Nelson for allowing me to read this book. The review is my own.

I was expecting a devotional, but I was pleasantly surprised! I love how the author practices what she preaches. Scripture is woven throughout the chapters and each chapter has discussion questions to meditate and reflect on. Some chapters include a prayer as well. The practical advice along with stories in her life made this a great book. If your are struggling with depression, anxiety, or just general overwhelm from living in today’s world, pick up this book.

I enjoyed this book! It had a lot of good information on where to start with the uncluttering process of life as well as the author sharing real world examples of how she did this. I was left feeling like I did want more in certain areas but understand there is only so many pages to fill. Overall a great read if you are looking to clear your head and get down to what truly matters.

This book helped me to categorize my thoughts and do the work to help myself get organized. Highly recommend for busy moms and those who might have lost a bit of themselves.

"Overcome what overwhelms you." What an excellent tagline for a book. At one time or another we all have To Do lists that test our sanity. "Unclutter Your Soul" addresses the issue of being overwhelmed and offers practical ways to calm your life.

I expected a devotional type book with more focus on Scripture. Instead it read like autobiographical short stories. These were interesting and it showed that the author has lived what she writes. After each essay, there was a Scripture followed with questions to answer and applicable actions to take. These were a great addition because they were helpful and added spiritual depth

Even though it wasn't what I expected, I still enjoyed the book. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get rid of things that are overwhelming. My suggestion would be not to read this book cover to cover. Instead, use the Table of Contents and read it by the subjects that interest you when you need them. This is a great book to use as a reference instead of a devotional.

I received a free ebook from Thomas Nelson, via NetGalley. I was not required to give a positive review.

Genuinely splendid.
This book touches on every level, aspect and category of how to live a spiritually uncluttered life.
We all carry baggage, things that weigh us down keeping us from living our best life. It can be very overwhelming. I found this book to be useful in helping shed the clutter to find that missing joy again.
The meditation and reflection pages at the end of each section are great along with the suggested prayers included throughout the book.
Great all around book if you are struggling with anxiety, fear, depression, worry, resentment, grief, etc, etc

I am reviewing a copy of Unclutter Your Soul through Thomas Nelson and Netgalley:




Everyone wants our lives to change for the better so we can become a better version of ourselves in spirit, soul and body. But we still struggle. Author Trina McNeilly, looking for order in her own life, embarked on an inward journey to the home of her heart and soul to find healing and health from the inside out.






Unclutter Your Soul is for all who are cluttered and overwhelmed with loss, fear, chronic stress, unhealthy coping mechanisms, crippling depression, or anxiety. With the Holy Spirit as our guide, Trina says we can learn to
observe: acknowledge the clutter,own: make space for a healthy internal environment, and overcome: take action with tools for living clutter-free from the inside out.





Every chapter in these three sections are written as an essay and concludes with practical and soulful tips as well as prompts to put them into action. With discussion questions and a prayer guide.




I give Unclutter Your Soul five out of five stars


Happy Reading!
