Dance, Stand, Run by Jessi Connolly

In Jessi Connolly's words, her new book Dance, Stand, Run is "for women who want their lives and their faith walks to feel purposeful. It's written for women who know there is something more out there, but they're not sure what it is." And since I have now read it from beginning to end (twice), I can honestly tell you the book is that and oh so much more!

Jessi has written a book that will bring you to your knees in prayer and confession one minute. Then the next minute, pull you to your feet in proclamation of the holiness and grace you can claim as a woman of faith, as well as the holiness of the God who is drawing us near to Him.

She has threaded her personal story of struggles, confessions and triumphs with solid teachings from Scripture that pull you in and help you see how your own story is one that can be used to bring others into holiness. And each chapter ends with a set of questions to help you not just read, but to soak in the truths she is speaking over you.

There is a prologue and 10 chapters of solid teaching, a call to living more and downright preaching to the heart to become the women God has called us to be. This is a book that you could sit with over and over again and the truths wouldn't grow old.

So, go pre-order a copy for yourself, one for a friend or five for your small group over at www.dancestandrun.com to have it arrive on the day it releases (October 24th!) and earn some really amazing, beautiful free goodies as a thank you.

And join Jessi, me and many others as we learn to Dance in Grace, Stand on Holy Ground and Run on Mission.

Am I afraid of a certain Classic?

I haven't written here much at all. Mostly because I have been blogging over at my other site and just haven't had much to write in regards to books and reading here. But this month's discussion question for Classic Club members is one I just couldn't pass by:  What classic piece of literature most intimidates you, and why? Or, are you intimidated by the classics, and why? And has your view changed at all since you joined our club? I think the two major pieces of classic literature that I am most intimidated by are the works of William Shakespeare and Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I am usually not intimidated by the Classics. In fact, I lov e reading C lassics and have begun quite the collection on my shelves. B ut those t wo men and their writings stare me in the face like a brick wall that I'll never be able to climb over.  I have read Victor Hugo's Th e Hunchback of Notre Dame and absolutely hated it . There were sections in the book where it ...

Dickens in December

What is your favorite memory of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol? Have you ever read it? If not, will you? Why should others read it rather than relying on the film adaptions? So, I have to be completely honest and make a confession... I have never in my almost 24 years of life and 20ish years of reading ever actually finished a book by Charles Dickens. I own all of his books (whether in hard copy or on my Nook), but I have never actually finished one of his works. I attempted to read Oliver Twist and David Copperfield back when I was in junior high and maybe high school. But I gave up not long after starting them. I have seen the movies, in fact they are two of my favorite movies of all time, but sadly I have failed in reading the books. And honestly, I have no idea why. I think back when I first tried to read them they were just a little too hard for me. The older English grammar. The more detailed and intricate story-lines. They just made it hard for me to get through. With tha...

Top Ten Tuesday: Summer Reads

It's "Top Ten Tuesday" from The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is about what books am I looking forward to reading this summer. So here's my list! 1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is a re-read for me, but I am excited to do it as a group-read/event. 2. Candide by Voltaire. I am actually starting this one today and looking forward to it since it sounds so intriguing and tackles a tough topic. 3.. The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett. I have seen the movie countless times, but I never read the book. It's already sitting on my shelf and just waiting to be opened. 4. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I have been wanting to read this book since it came out. But never got the chance. So, I am going to make time for it this summer. 5. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I just finished her sister's Jane Eyre and can't wait to be introduced into Emily's writing style. 6. Mixed Signals by Liz Curti...
