BookSneeze Review: Overextended ...and loving most of it!


  My latest review is of the book, "Overextended... and loving most of it!" by Lisa Harper.  Lisa is a featured speaker with the Women of Faith organization, as well as an author of ten books.  Lisa has a masters of theological studies from Covenant Seminary and is a gifted communicator.  Personally, I think Lisa has the gift of making people laugh, you cannot help but love her.  I had recently attended a Women of Faith conference and heard Lisa speak, so I wanted to review her latest book.

   This review is going to be short because I don't have a lot to say about Lisa's book except that it was wonderful.  I absolutely love the way Lisa writes, and I felt so connected to all of her stories.  She invites her readers to enter her joy and pain, and she isn't afraid to let you see that she is a real person with real emotions, struggles and sins.

  Lisa shares personal stories about her adoption journey, relationships with family and about how it is to live a very busy life on the road.  My favorite story is about an older lady named Agnes that Lisa met on a flight.  If the story of Agnes was the only story in the book, it would have been worth it for me to buy the book.

     I would definitely recommend this book to all of my friends.  Lisa is down to earth and I have a feeling that many women reading this book will relate to one of more of her stories.   I think I need to go back and read Lisa's other books now.

 I received this book complimentary from BookSneeze, and I in turn agreed to write this review.
