Fresh-Brewed Life by Nicole Johnson

I love coffee and I love the way Nicole Johnson compares this fresh brewed java to how our life can become fresh brewed as well. She describes the fresh brewed life as a journey of awakenings to God, to ourselves, and to others. For those of us who enjoy coffee, we partake of the warmth and comfort it brings to our lives. So also God can definitely do the same thing, if we let Him.

Nicole invites us to journal and each chapter gives us challenges on what to journal about. She encourages us to open up about ourselves thus allowing God to 'brew' into our lives His Spirit and wisdom and knowledge. What about your longings? What person doesn't have disappointments because of those longings? How about how you feel about yourself, your beauty, your sexuality. Yes, these are covered also.

So grab a cup of joe and savor this book. It is not a study book or a devotional book, just a book to encourage you in your Christian life. This book has been provided to my by the Booksneeze program with Thomas Nelson Publishing for an honest and unbiased review.
