Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I originally wanted to read this book to see if it would be beneficial for my daughters to read once they enter their teen years. However, the more I read, the more I began to enjoy it and the message that Sadie pours out in it. Let me preface this review by saying I never really watched Duck Dynasty. I've only seen two episodes. Plus I do not watch Dancing With the Stars. I read this book as a Christian father with two young daughters that are growing up in a time of uncertainty and social turbulence. I found the message and lessons in this book to be insightful and timely. I will gladly give it to my daughters when they are older. This book is not about Sadie Robertson. It will not teach you how to have her life and her success and her passion for everything. However, this book will unlock the potential that is inside of you to live a fearless life if you embrace the trust and guidance of Jesus Christ. Guided by Psalm 46, Sadie Robertson chronicles how her faith in God has helped her to break free from the bonds of anxiety, fear, and worry in her life. Not once does Sadie proclaim how strong she is to be able to overcome the obstacles in her life. She makes it a point to give God the glory in all circumstances. The material contained in this book is Biblically sound and straight from the heart. Sadie shares the personal battles she has faced in her past, plus those she continues to encounter everyday, and how she uses the power of prayer and her faith in God to push through and overcome them. Several different Bible translations are used to clarify key points, as well as quotes from evangelists and scholars such as John Piper. Each chapter has questions, challenges, words of encouragement, prayer points, and key points to take note of. Work the Word challenges the reader to live fearlessly in the face of adversity by creating an action plan. There is also a notes section to write and reflect as you go along. I would recommend this book to all Christians, especially youth and young adults. Young people today face many uncertainties and hardships day in and day out. This book would be a great tool to accompany a daily Bible regimen. I received this as a free ARC from Tommy Nelson (Thomas Nelson: Children's) on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
