Tracie Miles

I enjoyed this book and found it to be even better the more I read. Written from a Christian perspective for women who are seeking meaning in their lives as well as for women who want to prioritize their faith.

The writing style is conversational and warm, with personal stories and powerful insights. Each chapter includes “Love Your Life Challenges” that offer tools, reflection questions, and practical action steps.

I have read a few other books written by Tracie Miles and enjoyed them all. Tracie is compassionate and encouraging. She shares her own experiences, which gives each book a personal invitation to peace and purpose.… (meer)

This didn’t give me what I was hoping for. The author spent too much time during the early chapters referring to statistics and examples of stress and how it’s unhealthy. This isn’t something I needed to be convinced of, and especially since I picked up this book ready to seek out solutions for relieving stress.

I was looking for answers based on the subtitle: “Finding God’s peace in your chaotic world.” I felt the book didn’t offer specific strategies, but instead delivered generalities.

The book was just OK. Each chapter contained “Reflection Questions” which actually allowed for more depth and insight than what was provided in the chapters. For that reason, this would make a good book to be read by a group, followed by discussion.… (meer)

Stress has always been a part of our existence. It's never been avoidable; There is also no denying that society today is more stressed out than ever, Which is why its so fitting for this edition of Miles' masterpiece to reappear on our raider. From its debut Stress Less Living has been a beautiful, deeply personal answer to our nations call for help.

Tracie Miles is an author I adore very much. With intelligently crafted prose and a deeply personal Miles forces us to take a step back for a moment, and to remember that there is only one place we must turn to for stress relief, for all things are possible through Christ.

Overall, Stress Less Living is an absolute must-have for any person dealing with stress. Even if you are not a Christian, the author gives many pieces of advice that can apply to anyone.

This was such an encouraging book for anyone who struggles with negative thoughts. The author writes warmly from her own experiences which is always better than reading an often dry how-to lecture. She also uses actual examples from others who have lived through difficult situations, which provides plenty of issues and how they were successfully handled. At the conclusion of every chapter there are bible verses pertaining to God's faithfulness and growing our faith, as well as journal-type questions to help you work through issues, if you wish. This would make a great group study, too. I read this book in the morning as part of my devotional time, so there are several ways this book can be used to great benefit for every reader. I just bought three copies to share with friends, as I think it's the kind of book that is not only helpful but also hopeful and supportive.… (meer)
