Love Defined ~ A Book Review

-

Hello darlings!

It's time for another book review!


I read Kristen & Bethany's first book, Girl Defined last year and enjoyed it very much. So I was thrilled to finally get my hands on a copy of Love Defined earlier this year.

I feel like I read Love Defined at just the right time in my life. Reading it is like having two older sisters giving you all their best advice based on their life experiences and of course, the Bible.

Love Defined answers a lot of the most common questions asked by single Christian women today. But whether you are single or currently in a relationship, I am sure you will benefit from this book!
Both sisters speak from past dating experiences and give you insight from both the single girls perspective and the married lady's perspective.
The back cover might do a better job of explaining than me!

Back Cover Synopsis
In a culture obsessed with love and romance, why is it so hard for us to find satisfying love that lasts? Maybe we've been looking at this thing called love all wrong.

 In this insightful, encouraging, and totally candid book, sisters Kristen Clark and Bethany Baird share a radically better and refreshingly biblical approach to navigating your love life life. Covering topics such as true love, purposeful relationships, sex, boundaries and singleness, Love Defined will take you on a journey to discovering God's good design for romance.

While I loved this book as a whole, my favourite chapters were Taking Femininity into Your Love Life, Five Strategies for Thriving as a Single Girl, How to Be "Just Friends" with Guys, and How Do I Know if He's "the One"?.


Now for a couple of my favourite quotes from the book!

 When personal happiness becomes our greatest pursuit in a romantic relationship, all our decisions will be driven by that motivation. Our focus is on getting what we want when we want it rather than on glorifying God.

 Instead of being on the hunt for Mr Right, we need to be in the Word becoming Miss Right.


Basically, if you have not read this book yet, I have on thing to say to you.
"What are you waiting for?"
This book is a must read for all young women!


keep on blooming,

Hannah

August Favourites

Wow, August has come to an end already! I am so excited that Spring is basically here now. The sunny weather and longer days have really done something to my creative juices, which seemed to be hibernating during winter and now there are awake and flowing again. Books The Beautiful Pretender by Melanie Dickerson My goodness, I enjoyed this book so much! I have a full review in the works but I definitely had to mention it in this post. It's like the second book its series(Medieval Fairytale series). I have just started the third and final book, The Noble Servant and it is equally as intriguing as The Beautiful Pretender. And the cover of TBP....so pretty! Sarah, Plain, and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan This book has become a new all-time favourite of mine! I found this on audiobook on my library's app and since I'd seen the movies a long time ago I decided to give it a go and get a boost on my Goodreads reading challenge. But I never would have known how much

Why I Want To Be A Mother & Homemaker

Hello darlings! I'm going to warn you now, what I am about to say in this post might be a little controversial and many women today wouldn't share my opinions on these topics. But I have decided to go ahead and share what is on my heart about being a mother & homemaker and I hope that you find it interesting and inspiring all the same. My reason for speaking about this is because I think its something that is unpopular but necessary in today's society and the women that do want to pursue the life of a mother/homemaker often feel alone in their choice of lifestyle. My Life Dream If you were to ask me what my biggest dream in life is, my answer wouldn't be to have a great career and a fancy apartment in the city. No, my answer would be this, that my dream is to become a wife and mother and create a home in the country where we can grow our own food, live naturally and simply and let my kids grow up getting dirty and playing outdoors. We'd have som

She is called Daughter

                                                                      She stood there. Watching. Waiting and dreaming.  Watching the wind toss the branches of the trees. Waiting in the stillness. And dreaming of things still to come. She adored the sweet solace she found on that quiet hill.  How the dainty flowers that grew there, bobbing back and forth in the breeze. For many years she had come here and always to escape the crowd. How they pushed and pulled her; it filled her head with fog. So she came to the quiet hill that felt closer to the sky, to have heavenly conversations with the Father of her heart.  Sometimes she would just sit and think.  Other times she might sing. Often she would pick armfuls of blossoms. But always she knew whose watchful eye was over her and she'd smile at the thought. It was while she was standing there dreaming, that when the breezes stilled, she heard the grasses rustling at her side. She saw a figure approaching,
