Inspired by her powerful song of the same title, Look What You've Done delves into Tasha's journey of finding freedom in Jesus through life's twists and turns. Tasha takes readers through her early days in small town South Carolina, to her big breakthrough as background singer on stage with Katy Perry, to the mission field in Kenya and beyond. Across many countries and all her days, the truest constant in Tasha's life has been the presence of God in both the highs and the lows.

As her inspirational stories reveal the ways God has guided her journey, Tasha also shares vulnerable reflections on the struggles she's faced in her life of faith and music. Readers will identify with Tasha as she describes the lies that she allowed herself to believe as she struggled with comparison, self-image, and the uncertainty of finding her purpose. Through challenges like these, God continues to bring Tasha wisdom and truth regarding who He is, and who she is meant to be.

I found myself deeply moved by her journey of faith and self-discovery, inspired by her powerful song of the same title. Tasha's narrative takes readers on a captivating journey from her humble beginnings in small-town South Carolina to her exhilarating experiences as a background singer on stage with Katy Perry, and ultimately to the mission field in Kenya and beyond. Throughout her adventures, Tasha poignantly highlights the unwavering presence of God amidst life's highs and lows.

What struck me most about Tasha's story is her candidness in sharing the struggles she faced on her journey of faith and music. She bravely confronts issues such as comparison, self-image, and the search for purpose, offering readers relatable insights into the lies she once believed and the truths God revealed to her along the way. Through Tasha's experiences, readers are encouraged to discern God's truth from the world's lies, find freedom and identity in Jesus, and grow in boldness in prayer.

One aspect of the book that particularly resonated with me was Tasha's emphasis on embracing seasons of waiting and trusting in God's timing. In a world filled with uncertainty, her words serve as a beacon of hope, reminding readers to see God's miracles in their own lives and to live boldly as Christians.

Overall, "Look What You've Done" is a compelling and uplifting read that challenges readers to deepen their faith, embrace their identity in Christ, and share the goodness of God with others. Tasha Layton's journey is a testament to the transformative power of God's love and the freedom found in living out His truth.

“This is a tender and honest book about the power of truth and Jesus to displace the lies, mistruths, and false narratives we all have adopted to some degree along the way.” ~ Tasha Layton

Throughout the year, Tasha Layton’s music has frequently played during my daily jam sessions, delivering messages of hope, faith, encouragement, and joy. As I enjoyed Tasha’s songs, I dove into her book, Look What You’ve Done, a captivating testimony that explores the key moments of Tasha’s life that shaped her into the God-fearing woman she is today.

“Even when my dreams appeared shattered on the ground before me, God was building something bigger in the background.” ~ Tasha Layton

Though written like a memoir, Look What You’ve Done reads more like a devotional. Tasha speaks directly to the reader with her writing and the thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter. Addressing topics like depression, calling, identity, listening to God’s voice, trusting God to answer our prayers, and stepping out of our comfort zone, each chapter was rich with life lessons that will minister to people’s hearts.

“When we spin our wheels trying to be someone else, it’s usually because we haven’t yet let God tell us who we are.” ~ Tasha Layton

While most authors put themselves at the center of their life stories, Tasha’s approach was refreshing and selfless as she placed God as the protagonist of her story. He was the shining star and her source of hope through each vulnerable revelation and trial. I have so many highlights from the nuggets printed into the pages of this book.

“Hope enables us to envision a brighter future—and the outflow of hope is the gift of peace in the time of waiting and anticipating.” ~ Tasha Layton

Look What You’ve Done is a great book to accompany you during your daily time in the Word. Exploring Tasha’s heart, understanding where she came from, and diving into the deeper meaning of her songs was an enriching experience. Beyond that, though, allowing God to speak to me through Tasha’s testimony was a powerful reminder of His continuous presence and work in my life.

“How different would the world be if we each found our calling in God and let Him be the one to decide whether we’re living up to it or not?” ~ Tasha Layton

If you’re a fan of Tasha Layton’s music or just looking for a testimony that will inspire you to draw closer to God, Look What You’ve Done should be at the top of your TBR list.

“‘Look What You’ve Done’ is not only the name of one of my songs; it’s also the theme of my life. It captures how God has taken my broken pieces and made them whole.” ~ Tasha Layton

*Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing this pre-release copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own!*

Tasha Layton is a well-known Contemporary Christian singer. After competing as a contestant on American Idol, she went on to become a backup singer for her guest judge, Katy Perry. Deciding to leave the limelight behind, she returned to her roots as worship leader. Through a series of events, that could only be orchestrated by God, she landed a record deal and topped the charts with her hit song Look What You’ve Done.

In her testimonial, Look What You’ve Done, Tasha reflects on all the ways the Lord has worked in her life. She offers Biblical advice, hand picked verses (related to each topic), and study questions. This is a book that be consumed alone, in pairs, or with large groups.

Reviewing a memoir is always tricky! I want to respectful of Tasha and honor what she went through. I commend her for opening up about personal subject matter like mental health and infertility. I think too often Christians are encouraged to pray away their problems instead of seek professional help. Tasha is an advocate for counseling and therapy. That in an of itself was refreshing. My only complaint is that while she touched on important subjects, she kept it fairly surface level. She skimmed over things instead of diving deeper.

*If you are looking for a testimonial that isn’t afraid to go deep, I highly recommend Mandisa’s Out of the Dark!!!

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed reading Tasha Layton's story and seeing God's faithfulness in her life.

In Look What You’ve Done, Tasha Layton has written down her personal story about her journey to become a songwriter and a Christian singer. This book covered her struggle with dealing with shame and feeling less than. She tried to bury her shame so deep that it wouldn’t ever come to the surface. She explained how this led to her hit song, same name as the title of this book. She was able to connect with God and let Him in her brokenness. In the book, she also touched on her auditioning for American Idol, eventually becoming a background singer for Katy Perry, leaving music, coming back to music, getting married, and having children.



She grew up in a small town in South Carolina and didn’t have many friends. Her family just couldn’t afford to participate in sports, dance, or any other fun group activities. She lived in a trailer and she explained how she wouldn’t invite kids over because she was afraid of being judged. She always believed that the other kids in nicer housed were just better people than her. Her parents worked hard to provide for them. She shared how she felt not beautiful enough and she didn’t think she had the right hairstyle. She had a deep fear of rejection and she strived to be perfect. She felt the seeds of comparison. This robs us of our identify and contentment. She revealed how gratitude is an important practice we need to put into place where it can change our perspective. We all need to learn to enjoy what we do have and not focus on what we don’t.


She shared a heartbreaking story about a bad nightmare she had that messed her up for years. This started because of an event at school that humiliated her. She was in first grade when they were all supposed to be taking turns reading out loud. She needed to go to the bathroom and the teacher thought she was trying to get out of her turn. When it was time for her to read, she wet herself in front of the whole classroom. She was laughed at and sent to the bathroom located in the classroom. The teacher was annoyed and left her in their until it was time to go home. This led her to believe the lie that she was a bad child who deserved punishment. She also opened up about how she was called one of them Chia Pets because of her leg hair. She was embarrassed and she made a vow to never to be made fun of again. She went home and shaved her own legs and ended up cutting her legs and leaving behind a scar. This shared all of these personal stories where readers can understand that, “our memories inform who we become”. The real enemy is very good at planting lies and reinforcing them and disguise them as truths. In the book, she walks readers through how she received counseling and was able to heal and move forward.



I would recommend this awesome book about Christian artist, Tasha Layton. I have only recently listened to her music became a fan of her voice and now her story. One of my first songs I heard of her was a song she sung with Josh Wilson. I then listened to her other songs and she has an incredible voice range and her lyrics are life changing. I intensely connected with her story and I appreciated how real she was in sharing her brokenness, the lies we are believing, and shame. I really didn’t like how she was treated in school and church. Fans will be shocked to her about her teenage boyfriend mother experience and how she treated her. I was in awe in reading about her struggle with wanting to end it all at the lowest moment of her life during her collage life and feeling miserable but thank God she is still her changing lives.





"I received this book free from the publisher, K-Love Books for my honest review.”

An interesting autobiographical accounts of a Christian’s spiritual journey! Tasha Layton is open and honest in sharing the less than smooth road on hers. I appreciated her vulnerability in detailing the detours she took along her journey, and the formidable potholes. She offers some insights that proved to be helpful in getting her through these obstacles and back on the road successfully! It resounded with me and I connected with much of what she shares. Readers will identify with similar struggles.

However, the connection ended when the author perseverated on her singing career instead of how God taught her deep truths about the Christian journey. I was not interested in Kath Perry this and Kathy Perry that. Although the book included some practical helps and spiritual insights, it did not continue in that vein. Regrettably, she veered off from the premise of the book: sharing spiritual insights that helped her get out of the quagmire of “being stuck” and how counseling in Colorado provided her with the spiritual traction to get back on track. More effort could have been spent on her experiences in Colorado. She shared how much that experience helped her but it could have been developed more for readers.

This started off as a 5 star review for me. Losing the spiritual focus and instead branching off to talk about record contracts and Katy Perry was disappointing and brought the rating down considerably.

My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing this ARC so I can provide an unbiased review.

Love this book! Such a great read about how Christ moves in our lives, and gave inspiration from her life to having healing and freedom that can only be found through Christ moving in our lives.

I love reading about how people came to Jesus and how their life has changed with him in it. And this book was just that but also so much more.
In the book she explains her struggles, trauma, hurt but also her adventures and triumphs. Each of the chapters she offers encouragement to dig deeper in their relationship with God and to have a reflection on what God has done in their life.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it. .

Thank you, Dexterity, Tasha Layton, and Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed reading this and the audiobook is narrated by Tasha. I loved the perspective and message conveyed in this book. Sometimes we forget there is purpose in the things we go through and as a Christian it's nice to know other Christians also go through similar struggles and helps you keep focus on God rather then the setbacks.

Tasha Layton shares her personal stories of hurt and pain, but she doesn’t stop there. She invites the reader into the healing process that she revisits time and time again. Allowing God to purpose her pain, she encourages the reader to surrender their own struggles and experiences to the Only One who can bring peace and comfort. The end of each chapter provides some thought-provoking questions for personal reflection.

Tasha Layton takes readers on a journey through the hills and valleys of her life growing up in small town South Carolina, all the way to present day internationally known Christian worship artist. Time and time again showing the many times God restored the brokenness and spoke truth over the lies of the enemy. I was not only encouraged to read of God’s faithfulness but also challenged to seek the Father fervently, believing that He will show up as promised.

I’ve recently rededicated my life to Christ, so Tasha’s story was like a balm for my heart. I’m more excited to see what amazing things Jesus will bring about in my life for His glory. Thanks to this memoir, I’ll remember to keep track of all the ways God redeems all the brokenness in me and how to seek out His voice through all the noise.

Highly recommend for anyone looking to take their walk with Christ that much deeper! Or even if you’re new to Christianity, this would be a perfect place to see how God works everything for good.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. This was a cute little book and I really liked how the chapters were short. The stories were good, but I don't really see how they went together to create a theme. not even sure that the theme was. but if you like christian books that are a quick and easy read, this would be for you!

DNFd (DID NOT FINISH). not that interesting or what I was expecting. still well written just not the right book for me.1a

ARC read through NetGalley, all opinions are my own. I was super excited to read this book because the album that the song Look What You’ve Done is on is one of my favorites right now. It was good, I thought that Tasha had a lot of good things to say about trusting God and listening to God and remembering that your current situation can change. I also liked how there were reflection questions at the end of each chapter. The season of life I’m in right now is definitely one of realizing how far I have come and seeing where God was through all of it, and this book really helped me with that.

I am enjoying reading this title. At times, I was confused by the books subtitle but quickly got over that as I was engrossed in Tasha’ s story.

Look What You've Done is one of my favorite songs by Tasha Layton so I jumped at the chance to read this book. I enjoyed the book and getting to see Tasha's story. Each chapter had questions to help you relate to Tasha and what God was doing through out the book.

Tasha Layton strikes a chord with every person who has ever faced insecurities, Christian and Non-Christian alike.

Tasha Layton’s new devotional leads us through her life, and her growth in the Lord in each stage of that life. It’s twenty-four chapters of relatable situations complete with Bible verses and discussion questions.

This is not a deep Bible study. It’s not a thick theological thesis. What it is, is one woman sharing her spiritual journey with the hope that it might help someone else. Layton has learned, through her circumstances, to accept the unconditional love of God and she wants others to learn what she has. God loves you.

This book is for everyone who has ever questioned their worth; questioned God’s love for them; questioned who they are. This book was for me and I think it could be for you too.
