Don't Quit in the Dip by Shaun Nepstad

 

For many people, 2020 has been a year of challenges and hardships. Maybe you are struggling even without the unique challenges of this year. If you are, Don't Quit in the Dip by Shaun Nepstad is an encouraging read.

Nepstad shares from his experiences and the Bible about how to move forward to get out of "the dip." What is the dip, you ask? Nepstad says it is when you are in a place in life where you are feeling slumped down and ready to give up. One of my favorite motivational speakers and writers, John Maxwell, writes the forward to this inspiring book. Don't Quit in the Dip is divided in to six sections that follow the steps of being in the dip and climbing your way out. 

Don't Quit in the Dip was an uplifting read and would be a source of encouragement for those who are struggling and feeling discouraged right now. I felt like Nepstad was a man who had been there with the stories he shared from his own life and the church that he pastors. I could also relate to the stories of the Bible of men who had struggled through hard things like Jonah and Joseph in the Old Testament and Peter in the New Testament. I have heard some of these things before but it always helps to have a reminder when you are down but not yet out. If you need a reminder of why you need to keep moving forward in your Christian walk and through your life challenges, I would encourage you to read Don't Quit in the Dip.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.

  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 ...
