I received a free copy of, God Calls Us to Do Hard Things, by Katie Britt, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Katie Britt has some really good advice, in this book. Katie is a senator from Alabama, wife, mother, Christian, etc. I really enjoyed this book.

Hard work and good ethics is the mainstay of this youngest Republican Senator as told in this book. The author encourages readers as they follow her journey to the US Senate. Very interesting story! Encouraged by her passion for the hard generation. Recommended!

Katie Britt is a newly-elected US Senator representing the state of Alabama, alongside former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville. Prior to her run for office, Senator Britt served as Senator Richard Shelby‘s Chief of Staff, so she was very familiar with the responsibilities of the office. Although she has a warm and approachable manner, Senator Britt is a smart cheerleader with a deep faith and a servant’s heart. She is a striking contrast to another southerner, Congressman Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and another young female, Congressman Lauren Boebert.

Her book is part memoir, part motivational, with Bible verses sprinkled throughout. She describes growing up in small-town Enterprise, Alabama, home of the Boll Weevil Monument. She explains how the boll weevil decimated the cotton crop and enterprising farmers started growing peanuts instead, which is an example of triumphing over hardship. She also describes how her home and all of their belongings were destroyed in the April, 2011 tornadoes, but her family was so grateful to make it through the storm alive.

Senator Britt describes challenges that she has overcome, how these challenges relate to what young people face today, and advice that her mother gave her. Her mom was the “buck up, buttercup” parent, following with a Bible verse about “turning the other cheek.” The Senator was a very focused and goal-oriented girl growing up and had to learn how to deal with disappointment when she didn’t make the squad or wasn’t elected. She turned her determination around and found new places to serve and new goals to achieve. She admits that her journey may not seem to make sense, but her experiences along the way prepared her for her role in the Senate.

Senator Britt is very complimentary of her family, especially her husband, Wesley Britt. It’s refreshing to read about a happily married couple who have a strong faith. She explains that she was compelled to enter the Senate race because she wanted to make the country better for her children and future generations of Americans. She urges everyone to serve where they can to make our communities better.

God Calls Us to Do Hard Things is a good book to own so it can be re-read when you need a little motivation or are facing challenges. Each of the 15 chapters is on a different topic, so you can read whichever one fits your circumstances. The author’s writing is clear and understandable for all ages and is full of wisdom. Surprisingly she doesn’t use Southern phrasing, so readers from all over can understand and enjoy it.

I received an Advance Review Copy (ARC) from NetGalley and Twelve Books for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
