Get On Your Knee Replacements and Pray by The Kandel Sisters

I don't know about you, but if I am honest there are days that getting "old" feels kind of scary. However, when I read the Kandel Sisters new book, Get On Your Knee Replacements and Pray, I found myself feeling encouraged and uplifted as I thought about aging.

Get On Your Knee Replacements and Pray has 28 readings on how to live a better life in spite of aging and retirement. These ladies write some funny stories that left me laughing out loud at times in these readings. They also write stories that inspire readers to live their life for Jesus. At the end of each reading, there is a prayer to pray. At the back of the book, there is a study guide with questions to answer after each chapter. Those questions could be used in a group setting or by yourself with a journal.

I enjoyed  Get On Your Knee Replacements and Pray so much. Even though I think I am younger than the target audience, I thought many of these readings would inspire most people over 30 who are starting to see that this life won't last forever. I hope I handle aging and retirement with the same amount of humor and faith as the Kandel Sisters in this book. As I said, I laughed out loud several times at the stories shared in this book. I also smiled as I was reminded about how God continues to use people no matter how old they are. These ladies know how to tell stories and they know how to weave faith into them. Several of them helped me to think and reflect on how I want to handle life as I age. Surprisingly to me, I read Get On Your Knee Replacements and Pray quickly for this review because I just enjoyed the stories so much. I hope to go back and read each reading and take more time to reflect. I would encourage anyone who is starting to feel like they are aging to give this book a try.

I received this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. #sponsored by Faithwords

  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 ap
