The Return Reflections on Loving God Back by Lacey Sturm Baker Books Biographies & Memoirs Pub Date 22 May 2018 I am reviewing a copy of The Return through Baker Books and Netgalley: We can easily find ourselves going through Autopilot, moving from one thing to another, hardly taking the time to consider what it is all for. Why did God make us? What are we called to do with the time we have been given? How do we find these answers out? Christian rocker Lacey Strum shares what it is to learn the beautiful struggle of discovering our unique God given gifts and pursuing them with our whole hearts. In this book she shows us that each day we are given is a gift from God and we discover that there is a balance in our busy lives as well as showing us the joy of giving God's gifts back to him by using them to glorify him. Strum reminds us that no one has our exact gifts, our exact perspective, our exact views, and that if we let him God can use that all to his Glory! I give The Return five out of five stars! Happy Reading!
Synopsis: It's easy to go through days, weeks, even years on autopilot, moving from one activity to another, rarely taking the time to consider what it's all for anyway. Why did God make us? What does he want us to do with the time he has given us? And how can we find out?
In her bestselling story-driven style, Christian rocker Lacey Sturm shares with readers the beautiful struggle of learning what one's unique gifts are and pursuing them wholeheartedly. She helps them see each day as a gift from God, find balance in their busy lives, and discover the joy of giving God's gifts back to him by using them to bring him glory.
Young people especially will love this openhanded and openhearted take on what to do with their lives, as will those who feel like they've been coasting or heading down the wrong path.
My Thoughts: This book speaks for its self. Take a walk with God and with Lacey Strum for a refreshing look into God's word. Take a break from a busy life and sit and listen. Learn with Lacey about God's gifts and using them for His glory. This is a good book for those who are looking into their lives and searching how to use the gifts that God gave them and looking at each day as a new canvas and a brand new start for serving Him.
