Wonderful collection of inspiring and encouragin vignettes!,
By Soozie4Him (Chicago suburbs) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Espresso for a Woman's Spirit: Encouraging Stories of Hope and Humor (Hardcover)
This small hardcover book is just the thing for a woman who is so busy wearing her many "hats" that while she is in need of refreshment and encouragement, she doesn't have time to sit down with a lengthy book.Each of the 20 chapters is based on a passage from Scripture and has direct application to our lives. The stories are personal about something you'll be able to relate to. After each chapter, Pam put in "Power Perks: A Sip of Hope and Humor", which include a humorous story and short thought-provoking quotes from a wide range of writers. Are you reading this book with your small group, or discussing it with a friend? Turn to the "Koffee Klatch Questions" at the end of the book for a few questions for discussion for each chapter. I'm rather particular about a book's appearance and feel, and the paper color, fonts, etc. This book has a smooth colorful cover (no dust-jacket to get crumpled) and the use of a different font for chapter headings was great. There is a motif of a coffee cup and book that continues throughout the book. This may be a small matter, but it really does make the book more appealing. This is an IDEAL gift to give a friend who could use some encouragement, but doesn't have time for long chapters. I buy books for our church library and just purchased a copy of this one! Please check out my other reviews of Christian books and music!

Encouragement for parents!,
By Barbara Stewart "Barb in FL" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Espresso for a Woman's Spirit: Encouraging Stories of Hope and Humor (Hardcover)
As parents of an almost teenager, we have definitely found that parenting is not easy and can be overwhelming at times! "Expresso for Your Spirit"'s author Pam Vredevelt talked of the struggles that parents go through and of the tears that are shed. The "expresso" that she mentioned in the book was encouragement for parents to continue on, though the energy may be gone and the mind may be weary.I liked that she talked about her son Nathan, who has Down's Syndrome, off and on throughout the book, and the challenges that she went through as parent with him. I don't want to give too many details away, but I liked the airplane trip and the not-so-friendly woman in the seat near them! The stories varied, from children having a hard time with a bully, and the son and mom discussing the problem and the boy becoming great friends with him, to another boy losing his best friend moving away and seeing him again years later. There were stories with daughters, too, and though I don't have a daughter, I could relate to some of them! It really didn't matter what age the child was or whether or not the parent was married or single, there was hope and encouragement throughout the book. My "expresso" was reading the bible verses and the cute quotes or comments! It was a thoroughly delightful read, and once I sat down to read it, I was able to read it in an afternoon. I need to mention that there were questions in the back of the book, for a book group to go over together. I highly recommend this book! I loved it! |
