Wow! This book has been placed in my life at just the perfect time. I know.... It's a God-thing! ;) I stumbled upon Courtney's posts from the website www.womenlivingwell.org while playing on Pinterest after my knee surgery this past spring. One thing led to another, and I found myself bookmarking her blog and reading it each week. Her posts were so uplifting and really encouraged me to be a better wife and mom. When I found out that she was publishing a book to come out on October 1, 2013, I couldn't wait to get a copy!
Women Living Well is such an inspiration to women in different walks of life! It is divided up into four main sections: Your Walk With the King, Your Marriage, Your Parenting, and Your Homemaking. I love how she reminds us that first and foremost, God should be our number one priority. Courtney shows us ways that we can make time to talk with God amidst the daily "chores" of life. We can pray for members of our family as we fold their clothes. We can also pray over our home as we make the beds, clean the bathrooms, pick up the stray toys, etc. Her ideas, which may seem so simple, are ones that we can really use daily in our homes, and I love that!
In the second section on marriage, I love how Courtney ends with a two-week marriage challenge on "Completing Him". I plan to read this whole book over again and actually commit to doing the daily challenges, and I am excited to see what affects this will have on my man! These challenges are as simple as praying for your husband to fixing his favorite meal. Would anyone like to join me? :)
The last half of the book is on motherhood and homemaking. I so desire to make our home a "haven"! One day at a time, I am trying to change our routines into ones that will provide rest and family time together, taking out the "clutter" that has found its way into our lives.
The ladies at our church are planning on starting a book study of Women Living Well in a couple of weeks. Oh how I can't wait to dive into this wonderful treasure with other women! I encourage you to do the same with a group of women in your area. We can learn so much from others!
I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from Courtney for my Kindle as well as a paperback copy from BookSneeze to read and review. All opinions shared are my own. I highly recommend this book to any woman, whether single or married. You won't be sorry that you picked it up, and I guarantee that you will have a hard time putting it down! :) Enjoy your walk with the King!!!
