Book Review: Grace Spilling Over

Book: Grace Spilling Over
Author: Janet Chester Bly


Book Synopsis:

Are you there, Lord? Are you listening? Ever wonder if God is always good and can ever be really trusted? Many of the folks in these true stories did. Here are people like you. They faced troubles. They got impatient for relief from heartbreaking problems. They often asked, “Why?” But through God’s delays, they eventually found all they needed in Him. Through close encounters in life’s waiting room. Enduring the long loneliness. Yet somehow pampered by His grace. In deep sorrow, God’s father heart presses ours. No easy answers here. No Band-Aids for gaping wounds. No flinching from looking cruelty and evil squarely in the face. Yet hope and generous grace vibrates through these true life stories. These encouraging true anecdotes wrapped with prayer and Bible verses will help you enter His quiet and linger to listen. Illuminating stories of humor and pathos provide steadfast confidence in God’s wisdom and goodness. You will see how God prepares us for what lies ahead. When you truly believe that God is good, even when life is bad, you’ll clear the distortions in your thinking. You’ll experience deep and abiding comfort. 

You’ll find spiritual victory.


Book Review:

Grace Spilling Over is my first book by Janet Chester Bly. I picked it up from the bookstore that I work at which is ...And Books, Too! (andbookstooonline.com) I was curious to read one of her books, so I grabbed it. It's a lighter read in that the chapters aren't long. I find this pleasant as it can be read like a devotional. That way, each one can be taken in one at a time. In every chapter, there's true stories with a lesson hidden with them. At the very beginning, there's Bible verses that pertain to the subject matter. At the end, a prayer.

I really like in Grace Spilling Over that there's true stories in this book. It's inspiring to read about what other people have been through in life. We can draw so much from others that have been in difficult times. And I especially enjoyed reading them at night before going to bed. Just so encouraging! I also like how everything ties together with the relevant verses at the beginning and the prayers at the end. It all comes together nicely.

I recommend this book for anyone that could use some encouragement. Reading about what others have faced and then found meaning are truly inspirational. You can find this book online at Amazon or at the bookstore ...And Books, Too! (andbookstooonline.com). 

Would you like me to read and review your book? Let me know!

Many Blessings,
- Grace Thorson
