Make It Happen

I have to admit I got this book cause I saw it on a blogger I love Instagram. I thought it was going to be like a self-help book. I had no idea it was a Christian book. I think because I had different expectations of this book that why it was such a big let down. Instead of focusing on overcoming your fears it was a memoir mixed in with how to have a relationship with God. I already have a relationship with God, so I don't need a book to tell me that. It did not have any of the getting over your fear that I was expecting.

Also, the writing was not that great. She did say that she was not a  good writer but that God called her to write this book. OK, whatever. I would have hoped that God could have given her pointers on how to write better, but I guess he didn't.

All in all this book was a big let down. I was hoping for some actionable tips on how to overcome the fear of just going for it. I do battle fear that I am not good enough and all of that so I was hoping she would tell how to move past that but she didn't. She is all like trust God and while that is good. I mean I DO trust God, but I still battle the fear of insecurity.

I did enjoy the memoir parts. So this book wasn't a total flop. I enjoyed reading how she made her marriage work how she takes time off and still manages to get a lot of work done.  The memoir parts were really good.

I think if I went in expecting to read a memoir instead of a self-help book I would have enjoyed it more but as it was, I kinda wanted my money back after reading this book. Ah well, win some lose some.This review was originally posted on Adventures in Never Never Land
