A God for all Seasons by Patti Tingen


"There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven." (Ecc. 3:1, NLT) Patti Tingen's book, A God for All Seasons, shares this complete verse from Ecclesiastes 3 in her introduction. This beautiful book takes a look at every season and every month in that season as a part of our wholehearted Christian journey.

A God For All Seasons starts with that brief introduction, then goes into winter, spring, summer and fall seasons. Tingen writes a brief essay about each season. Then she shares an essay for each month in the season. Each month has a theme that goes along with the season--like Thanksgiving for November and Giving for June.

I enjoyed A God for all Seasons. This book shares part of Tingen's story through each of the essays. I appreciate how encouraging and down-to-earth she is. She makes it clear that we all struggle to live the Christian life during some seasons in our life and she doesn't come across as better or judgemental. She seems to share from her heart throughout the book and offers good solid advice for living the Christian life a little better during each season. I like that she reminds the reader that in every season, God never changes and He never leaves us--in spite of how we may feel. Whether we are in a time of joy or in a time of sorrow, God is there with us.

I received A God For All Seasons as a part of the Christian Women's Affiliate Review Crew. I was not required to write a positive review.
