Didn't See it Coming by Carey Nieuwhof

I think for many of us, we don't mean to get ourselves into a pickle or to get discouraged. Life goes along and we are doing the best we can when all of the sudden something else happens that seems to be the thing to totally throw us off balance. The trouble is things were getting a little helter skelter before that but we weren't aware of what was going on. In his new book, Didn't See it Coming by Carey Nieuwhof, he shares 7 challenges that happen to many people as life goes along.


Didn't See it Coming divides "the seven greatest challenges that no one expects and everyone experiences" into parts with two chapters each. The seven greatest challenges are: cynicism, compromise, disconnection, irrelevance, pride, burnout and emptiness. Me just writing what they are doesn't give you much to go on though. You really need to get the book and read Nieuwhof's heartfelt down-to-earth real stories and advice to truly learn anything from this book. I encourage everyone to do just that.


What I didn't see coming. . .this wasn't just another book launch team with me reading just another book. When I read Didn't See It Coming, Nieuwhof seemed like he was speaking to ME. I could relate to the cynicism, the disconnection, the burn out, the emptiness and so much more in this book. He challenged my thoughts and encouraged me to grow, to change and to make my relationships better with both people and my God. As I was reading, I kept sharing parts with my husband and we had some good discussions. Didn't See It Coming would also make a great book for a group study. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It is one of the best books that I have read so far this year.

I received Didn't See It Coming from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
