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.

Headed to Indy to see Women of Faith


Hey Blogville,
I am beyond excited that I will be heading to Indy in less than two weeks to see the Women of Faith speakers. Book Sneeze/WOF have graciously supplied me with 2 free tickets and I am beyond thrilled. I will be blogging about my experience at Women of Faith and also will be using Facebook to upload pictures (maybe video snippets) of the event live.
I have been to the WOF conferences several times in the past, but it has probably been about 7 years or more since I have attended a conference. This year the Women of Faith speakers have split up (not the bad split up :) so they can cover more of the United States. What a wonderful idea!!!
There are 2 conferences this year: "Over the Top" and "Imagine". If you are interested in attending a "WOF" event, click on the video link above and you will be directed to their website. Or if you have never attended an event, but are interested in finding out what "Women of Faith" is all about click the video too.
Stay tuned for my recap of the event. Thanks again, Book Sneeze and to the "Women of Faith" organization...
