This is my first book review on this blog. I received my copy of this book from BookSneeze for free in exchange for my honest review. I am not being paid to write this review.
Same Life, New Story by Jan Silvious is a 10-week bible study for women. On the front cover it says "Change Your Perspective to Change Your Life," and this book definitely gives you the potential to do so. Each chapter addresses a different challenge that women may be facing in their lives, challenges that can hold us back from reaching our full potential.
This book is best used for a group study, as it contains discussion questions in addition to questions for personal reflection and journal exercises. While completing the study all on my own, I found it too easy to get distracted from the points that the author was trying to make. There were actually a couple of weeks that completing the personal reflection and journaling seemed more of a chore than anything. Having other women to discuss it with would have made it easier.
Each week will find you learning new ways to look at difficulties and trials in your life, as you study how women from the Bible faced these same adversaries. Learn how to deal with fear like Abigail, become more resilient like Naaman's servant girl, and even overcome things in your past like Leah. Real life examples from the author further drive home the impact that these things can have on our lives, and how looking at them with a different perspective can change how they effect us.
At the end of the 10 weeks, you will be more than eager to start writing your new story.
