I began both this book and today at 6 AM with great promise and possibility, but as my day and this book wore on, I realized not much was happening. Maybe that’s the point of the book? I don’t know, because much like this review, it was filled with tortured metaphors and used a lot of words to say very little until I finally gave up (on the book, not the day). Would be a great blog post or podcast episode! This book was kinda just alright for me. I feel like I have heard MANY of these ideas many places before, so while there were moments of insight, much felt like that weird deja-vu feeling where you don't realize until page 241 that you've read this book already. The author's style is very internal, and while I'm not opposed to that I didn't think the moments where she tried to transition into the charge for her readers ever really worked that well. And her metaphors never really caught my imagination - I understood her analogy of the bench, and of "wearing the world loosely", but they didn't ever truly sink in to my brain the way I expect they were supposed to. Clearly in the minority on this one, as this is a fairly well-beloved book in the Christian nonfiction genre, but for me it was just okay. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Our obsession with bigger and faster is spinning us out of control. We move through the week breathless and bustling, just trying to keep up while longing to slow down. But real life happens in the small moments, the kind we find on Tuesday, the most ordinary day of the week. In Simply Tuesday, Emily P. Freeman helps readers stop dreading small beginnings and embrace today's work find contentment in the now-even when the now is frustrating or discouraging, replace competition with compassion, and learn to breathe in a breathless world. Jesus lived small moments well, slow moments fully, and all moments free. He lives with us still, on all our ordinary days, creating and redeeming the world both in us and through us, one small moment at a time. It's time to take back Tuesday, to release our obsession with building a life, and believe in the life Christ is building in us-every day. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
