Fierce Hearted by Holley Gerth


Are you a Fierce Hearted woman? Would you say that you are a woman who "looks life in the face and says, 'You can't beat me''? Or a woman who "chases Jesus with a tender, world-changing wildness"? Maybe your answer is "YES! That's me!" or maybe it's "No, I'm the opposite of Fierce Hearted." Either way, either answer, Holley Gerth's new book (that launched today by the way!) is for you. Trust me. 

Holley has this sweet voice that she uses to write, but at the same time it's not so sweet that you can ignore her challenging you to live with a fierce heart. I really appreciate that about her writing. Sweet and to the point, while being fierce and heart-changing. 

In Fierce Hearted, Holley walks us through some of her own personal stories to show us how we can live lives that are free and full of joy, purpose, courage and perseverance. All while pointing us to the One who created us to be strong, fierce hearted women.

So, go get yourself this book from the library, bookstore or wherever you like to get your books. And join Holley, me and many others in living life as fierce hearted women who are holding "on to our belief that God is never, ever done with our stories (pg193)."

The Classics Spin #2 is here!!!

So since the first Classic Spin was such a hit, the moderators over at the Classics Club decided to do another one. This Monday they will announce the number that is randomly picked between 1 and 20 and then whatever the title is that corresponds with the number is the Classic I need to try and read before July 1. I can pick any 20 titles from the my Classics Club list. For the last one I read Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and loved it. Maybe I will have the same luck this time around. And so without further ado... Here is my Classic Spin List 2.0!! Already On My Shelf:  1. The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer  2. The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky  3. The Silmarillion by J.R.R.

"Mansfield Park" Thoughts

I finished Jane Austen's Mansfield Park on Sunday and have just now sat down with the intention of writing about my final thoughts of it. I took a day of not starting any new books or do anything book related so that I could just sit, soak in the memories of Mansfield Park and form my thoughts about it for my wrap-up post. In my last post about Mansfield Park I wrote that I was falling in love with the book despite it having so many reviews against it. And I have to say that I finished the book absolutely loving it. While there were moments and characters in particular that drove me crazy and made me want to spit, I loved the story as a whole and Jane Austen's expert way of weaving a story that touches the heart.  It was my second book of Austen's that I have read in its entirety and was definitely worth every minute and even staying up way past my usual bedtime on Sunday to finish. I wrote in my first post about things I loved. The slowness of the story and the cha

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
