My Review

I like that this book references Gods teachings, scripture references, quotes, multiple doctor studies, advice and findings from doctors and scientists, the authors personal experiences, etc. So many awesome insights and material in this book!

Each chapter has short sections making it easy to read small parts at a time; which in my opinion makes is easier to use the free ebook study guide along side the book.

At the end of each chapter there are Self Reflection Exercises which are questions to ask yourself relating to the chapter. Which is a great opportunity for journaling!

I liked reading the section about the difference of Happiness and Joy. “Choosing joy is a deliberate act, whereas happiness is waiting for life to happen to you. We can’t control outside circumstances or other people, so expecting other people to make you happy is setting yourself up for failure…” She also included 4 simple steps to facilitate joy.

The chapter how to develop and unlocking a resilient mindset also spoke to me. “Resiliency is the ability to adapt to challenging situations….it means that instead of falling into the pit of despair or hiding from issues with unhealthy coping strategies, you face these difficulties straight on. Developing a resilient mindset is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. It is key to overcoming any obstacle.”

Some of the chapters spoke to me more than others, but overall this self help, Christian mindset book was awesome! I highly recommend this resource for anyone looking to learn more about mindset, the power of the brain, and retraining our brain to become the best version we can be!

More from Mimika

Unstick Your Mind was written from a place of deep pain and frustration. Having experienced anxiety, depression and disillusionment for years, I searched for sound biblical advice to help me get out of my mental rut. What I discovered was a lack of useful content that could help turn my compass toward Christ on my journey to mental wellness. After throwing myself into the world of neuroscience, positive psychology and coaching; I emerged with a fresh perspective and a passionate voice to help fellow Christians navigate the amazing miracle of renewing our mind God’s way. The good news is that you CAN change the way you think and completely overhaul your thinking when you focus on renewing your mind using biblical strategies and neuroscience.

Into the Fire (Undaunted Courage #1) by Irene Hannon

Into the Fire (Undaunted Courage #1) by Irene Hannon

MY REVIEW
I love reading books by this author so I was really excited to start this brand new Undaunted Courage series! The prologue immediately started out with the killers point of view and describing their actions, which was very disturbing for me to start a book right away like that. I honestly wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep reading. Thankfully the killers POV wasn’t included much throughout the book since the main characters were arson investigator Bri and Special Agent Marc. I liked getting to know them both and their families. Bri and Marc both had traumatic childhoods but were able to become successful adults with good careers who helped others. I liked reading how they helped each other grow and overcome their demons.

This story had lots of twists and turns, clean romance, drama and lots of suspense! Other characters were mentioned like Bri’s brother and sister who I am hoping will get their own story. Like I mentioned, the start of the book really bothered me though, so I’m not sure if I will continue reading more from this new series or not.

ABOUT THE BOOK
As a former smokejumper, arson investigator Bri Tucker knows her way around fires. But after a mysterious blaze takes the life of a former colleague, Bri inherits a curious puzzle from him that raises questions about several fiery deaths. Someone, however, doesn’t want her picking up where he left off in search of answers.

When she teams up with ATF Special Agent Marc Davis to solve the puzzle, the danger escalates. But will they manage to track down the person behind the mysterious deaths before their budding romance–and maybe even their lives–go up in flames?

The bestselling and award-winning queen of romantic suspense is back with a brand-new series that is sure to get your adrenaline pumping as you burn through the pages to discover the truth.
