Alyssa Joy Bethke's newest book, "When Doing It All Is Undoing You: Meeting God in Your Unmet Expectations", is a fantastic book for anyone who feels overwhelmed by everything on their plate. Bethke says that we usually fall into a pattern like this: neglecting our hearts, trying to earn our hearts, and ultimately losing heart. Instead, through this book, she wants us to live with fullness of heart. Each chapter is filled with Scripture passages and practical advice, and ends with a spiritual practice.

While the topic of this book is one that has inspired hundreds of books, there was still something new to be learned from Bethke's writing. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Lovely encouragement for women overwhelmed by life and its many responsibilities. Alyssa has a candid way of writing that both draws you in and compels you on the journey to what a faith life can look like fully surrendered! I especially enjoyed the spiritual practice exercises at the end of each chapter!

When life doesn't met my expectations, sometimes I struggle a lot to deal with that mattter. Alyssa help me to understand what is in my control and what is not so I can relieve in many things in my life. Hopefully, this book will bring me near to God in my dissatiscation life.

Similar to John Mark Comer, Dallas Willard, and Tish Harrison Warren, this book is an encouragement to not let spiritual formation get put on the backburner. A warning against busyness and the urge to maintain control over all the details of one's life.

Loved a good rainy day yesterday☔️☕️🎀 life lately has been BUSY with end of the year things for the kids, but it makes my heart happy to receive advance copies of books. Reviewing a book is so fun! Especially ones I wouldn’t pick out myself. So many books, so little time.

This Beautiful Day by Fred Rogers (publishing date December 2) Just add this to your Amazon cart now, and get one for all of those special to you for Christmas. This book was a gem. Rogers words are so gentle in reminding us to move from situation to situation with wonder. I loved the quote “You don’t have to be anything more than you are right now.” Such a beautifully spoken book. Highly recommend. @fredrogersproductions @hachettebooks

When Doing It All Is Undoing You by Alyssa Joy Beckhe (publishing date September 16) This. Book. Everyone. Needs. Wow!!! I feel like life is crazy, and you think it’ll settle and it doesn’t. Everyone seems wiped and worn out. Trying to do all the things, be all the things, and be happy?! What would happen if we stopped spinning our wheels, and instead we aim and lean into what Gods creating in us and we are becoming from it. Phenomenal book! @alyssajoybethke @worthypub

A Flower Garden For Pollinators by Rachel de Thame (publishing date June 10) I took a chance this year and planted some bee friendly flowers. I loved this beautiful book full of ideas, and ways to put together flowers. The illustrations and descriptions were wonderful for someone trying to learn. Wonderfully done! @racheldethame @hachettebooks
