Where do I begin?

Have you ever been crippled by fear? Have fears or anxiety of any kind hindered you from living your life?

I can tell you that my answer is yes. The funny thing about suffering from fears or anxiety is the opinions that everyone has on how to cure it. Some suggest exposure therapy and my favorite 'just getting over it'. I can tell you bibliophiles that none of the above assisted me in anyway shape or form. I guess the most important thing is time, I can only speak for myself but I would definitely put time right up there with my coping methods. After all the time I gave myself. . . a year and a half to be exact I came across this book The Power of a Praying through Fear by Stormie Omartian.

I am not really into self help books, I struggled quite a bit to get hooked on the few that I've read, but somehow I am hooked on this one. It is written by a bestselling christian author who is known for the 'Power of Praying Series'. Not sure which chapter or which verse really gave me the will to tackle my fears and take back what is mine, but it definitely gave me the right nudge.

So this book has worked wonders for me with beautiful reminders of how to work through your fears and have a sound mind.

Hope it helps you like its helped me.

Favorite quotes

God not given us a spirit of fear,

but of power and of love

and of a sound mind.

Small Great Things-Jodi Picoult

Small great things! Smaaalll Great things! Oh Jodi Picoult. I must admit that it took me some time to finish this book. I would say the reason for this would be the contents of this book; there's a lot of information to digest, to understand, to sympathize with . . . and even relate to? Blurb "When a newborn baby dies after a routine hospital procedure, there is no doubt about who will be held responsible: the nurse who had been banned from looking after him by his father. What the nurse , her lawyer and the father of the child cannot know is how death will irrevocably change all of their lives , in ways both expected and not. Small Great Things is about prejudice and power; it is about that which divides us and unites us." This book tackles prejudice and racism,homophobia in the most phenomenal ways. Three characters Ruth Jefferson an African American nurse, Turk Bauer the white supremacist and Kennedy, Ruths lawyer and baby Davis....

Novels in Verse hmmm? "We Come Apart"-Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan

Hello fellow book lovers! So this week I came across my first Novel In Verse! Titled: "We Come Apart" Written by Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan . I wont lie to you, for the mere fact that it was the first time that I had ever read a novel with this structure, it took me a day or two to get into the book. However, I quickly fell in-love with the characters, the story and the structure. The book is split into three parts and as mentioned the structure is in verse. We come apart has two main characters, Nicu who has emigrated from Romania, and is awaiting to be married without his consent. The second main character is Jess who comes from a home plagued with domestic violence, her mother is dating a man named Terry who is abusive in many different ways, and he often goes to the extent of making Jess film the abuse. Jess and Nicu have their daily struggles which bring them together and which also stand to separate them. What I lo...
