Martha's Flowers by Martha Stewart

What an absolutely stunning book! If you have a love of flowers this book is for you. Such a huge resource for everything flowers, giving such practical information on how to grow flowers, arrange them and everything else in between! As always this book is a treat for the eyes, so many stunning pictures which one really expects from Martha Stewart's book and it does not disappoint. The whole book is overflowing with great ideas and lush photography it is hard to put down and is an absolute delight! It makes one so eager for Spring and helps dispel some of the winter blues.
I highly recommend this book!

Resurrecting religion by Greg Paul

A deeply moving, thought provoking book that stays with you long after the final page is turned.  This book is about not just saying we are the church but actually being the church. Drawing heavily on the book of James and the experiences of the authors church in Toronto this book is all about being the hands and feet of Christ in the way we were meant to. Emphasizing heavily that we need to be helping other especially the poor and that faith without works is dead. Deeply moving and  based soundly in the scriptures this book is a call to do more and to be more to a world that deeply distrust and misunderstands religion because of our botched attempts at living it out.
Well written and very engaging this book is a cry to do more and I highly recommend it.

How to break up with your phone by Catherine Price

This book is exactly what I needed to read. Like most people I know I spend way too much time on my phone, I know it is a problem but I didn't know what to do about it, but this book not only gave practical ways to break up with ones phone and also show you just how enslaved we really are to our phones.
Written in an engaging and insightful manner this book is a little gem, it doesn't take much to read but what you will read can really impact your life, if you are willing to take a step back from your phone.
I know this book spoke to me and reminded me of what is really important in life, especially as a Mom to 2 young children, time is fleeting and I know I have wasted too much of it already.
Written in two parts, the first showing what our phones are turning us into and then ways to get control of it this book is an easy read but full of great insight.

Enter the Ring by D.A. and Elicia Horton

If you think this book is just like any other marriage book out there then you are wrong. This book is so down to earth and gritty, not throwing any punches and is exactly what you would expect from reading the back. I loved how honest and forthright the authors were about their own marriage and the struggles they have gone through and they ways they were able to overcome. I love how they point out if God could save their marriage He can save anyone's, they do not try to act like they are superior and never struggled but instead show a lot of humility and truthfulness that is refreshing and you can totally relate to.
Covering topics like finances, money, intimacy and communication this is a great book that encourages and inspires one to get back in the rink and keep fighting for what is important.

Finding your brave by Holly Wagner

What an utterly delightful book filled with so much wisdom and insight. I think most of have come to a time in our lives where we are overwhelmed and life really seems to be getting the best of us and this book is great at addressing those times and how we need to turn towards God and focus on Him. A great reminder to find ones courage and brave during the most challenging times of life when we feel the least brave and courageous.I loved how the author wrote from personal experience as well as drawing heavily on the Bible all for a very encouraging, engaging read.
