Blessed In the Mess: How to Experience God's Goodness in the Midst of Life's Pain by Joyce Meyer

 Blessed in the Mess

Blessed in The Mess: How to Experience God's Goodness in the Midst of Life's Pain by Joyce Meyer is the latest release from an author who has written over 140 books. That is a LOT of books!

Many people today say they are in the middle of a mess or their life is a mess. That may be true but Meyer reminds us that we are never in a mess alone. God is with us. 

Blessed in the Mess+is divided into three parts. The first part, God Can Bless Your Mess, is where Meyer explains what she sees as messes in our world today. She also shares what she sees as blessings amidst the messes. She shares a lot of her own stories here and throughout the book, but she also shares from the Bible too.

In Part Two, Living a Bless Life, Meyer talks about how to choose to be blessed as well as how to remain patient, grateful and trusting of God in the midst of your mess.

In Part Three, Meyer focuses on the Beatitudes, which she calls the Keys to Blessing. In this section, she teaches from The Beatitudes in the Bible and shares just what and where those verses area, as well as how they bless us today. These blessings are character qualities that are best displayed in mature Christians.

Blessed in The Mess is a fairly long book that is packed full of good information if you are struggling through a modern-world mess and wondering where God is. Meyer has struggled through many messes herself and shares her stories throughout the book. If like me, you have read many of her books, then some of these stories may sound familiar as she has used some of them in books before. Still, they are good illustrations and may bear repeating. She also pulls right from the Bible and teaches verses and stories that work well in this book. Blessed in the Mess is well-written. Meyer always speaks plainly and I think she is easy to understand and relate to.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions of this book 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 ...
