Naked and Unafraid by Kevin Gerald


Naked and Unafraid is based on the Bible story of King David dancing naked in the streets while he wife criticizes him from a window. Through this book I learned that David wasn't actually naked when he was dancing--but he was minus his kingly robes. I also learned a lot of helpful tips for doing life and relationships a better.

Naked and Unafraid is divided in to 5 sections: Risk Exposure, Abandon Smallness, Push Past Criticism, Own Your Story, and Fight For Your Future. Each sections has four chapters. Each chapter has a handful of study questions at the end--making this an excellent book to use for small group discussions, besides reading it on your own.

Naked and Unafraid is the second book that I have read and reviewed by Kevin Gerald. I liked his book, Good Things because it was encouraging, uplifting and centered on the Bible. I had hoped that this book would be too and I was glad to discover that it is all of those things too. Gerald used a lot of Bible stories and stories of people he knew personally to offer examples and then advice on handling tough things like criticism and stress. Gerald shares how it is risky to be vulnerable by opening up to others with either our words or our actions in doing things we feel God calls us to do. The reality is that could be criticized with either way but we will likely not regret doing what God has called us to do in this world. Gerald also gives a lot of good tips on handling criticism and how to deal with critics. I especially liked this part. All in all, I think Naked and Unafraid would be an encouraging book to almost anyone who would read it.




I received this book from the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own. #sponsoredbyfaithwords

  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...

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.

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.

There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
