The question of the back of Becky's book states, "Do you wish every holiday was full of less Chaos and more Jesus?" OF COURSE I DO! As a follower of Jesus, I feel like I miss the mark when it comes to celebrating the holidays, especially the ones that celebrate Him. So, that is why I chose to request this book and review it.
Sacred Holidays is not a book that you read and store in your bookshelf, or give away to a friend. It is a book for you to keep and use all year long (for many years to come). The book is divided into three parts. The first part is the introduction explaining the concept of the book and how it is to be used. The second part of the book is the Holiday section (New Year's, Valentine's, Lent/Easter, Summer, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Advent/Christmas, and Birthdays). This is the section that you are to read 30 to 60 days before the actual holiday, so you can prepare for it. Part three is dedicated to common struggles, and it is there to read as you need to (IE: budgets, drama, realistic expectations, grief, etc.) The book is full of space to journal and take notes. Becky asks readers many thought provoking questions, in hopes that it will help alleviate some of the unneeded stress that comes with the Holidays.
My favorite part of this book is it helps me come up with ways that I can make each Holiday more "sacred", holy and set apart to God. Becky fills this book with all kinds of ideas and activities that you can do all year round. I think this book is a must for everyone that celebrates Holidays :) ! A book that you need to keep out on your coffee table all year.
