I am voluntarily reviewing a copy of Attend through the Publisher and Netgalley:
In this book Laura Davis Werezak through the publisher and Netgalley:
Laura Davis Werezak reminds us of the importance of being present in our relationship with God. She reminds us too that anyone can turn to God at anytime and in any situation and we will experience transformation.
We are reminded too that we cannot hide from God. She encourages us to take time to turn off our devices and listen to God.
We are reminded too of the importance of giving our worries to God before we go to bed.
The importance of asking someone we have wronged for forgiveness is also highlighted. And the importance of admitting our sins to God is also emphasized.
We are reminded to of the importantce of taking a day off.
I give Attend five out of five stars.
Happy Reading

Thoughts:

ATTEND: Forty Soul Stretches Toward God by Laura Davis Werezak drops you into a very different set-up and meaning of this one word. Really? Seriously? Yep!

This Inspirational read takes you from a dictionary explanation into the Biblical sense of the word in a simple, fast, and direct way. While you are there, you will begin to see things differently, approach things in a deliberate way, and come closer to faith in devotion. As this author is aware, today's world will move you without you even realizing it.

Have you noticed?

One sound will have anyone look at their "smartphone" in the middle of a face-to-face conversation while another alert will have someone walking with their head down and eyes focusing on something other than their surroundings. From worry to a never-ending to-do list, we interact with our world much different today from ever before. However, being in a hyper-state of contact is costing us a great deal. We are filling the emptiness with noise and the search for peace with activity.

You stop to wonder about why, and you will come up short on answers.

Meanwhile, we are moving away from what our soul longs for and needs. We are sidetracking and very much snarling ourselves in duties, responsibilities, friendships, follows, and the instant gratification ways of today that we don't recognize God in our daily lives.

God is there, wanting you to move closer.

You can discover where you are on the road of faith and come closer than you could imagine by a mindset based upon on the Bible. As the author shows through her own experience, sometimes even by doing the "right" things you will not get to where you need to be. However, by small adjustments in your mindset, stance, and expectations, you will move and stretch toward God and understand the true meaning of your soul need.

Take deliberate steps to accept a peace that is all around us by simply learning the real meanings of Attend, and you'll find God there for you!
