Be Held By Him: Finding God When Life Knocks You Off Your Feet by Karen Brough is such a gem!! The author is what I call a truth-teller: she allows herself to be vulnerable and openly shares her story and experiences, good and bad, in hopes that they may be of service to others.

Who hasn't been knocked off their feet by life? Who hasn't ever questioned why something is happening, or been angry at God? This devotional is one that I found very easy to relate to and it has quickly become one of my favorites to turn to.

Ms. Brough writes so honestly, and there's such a gentleness about her. Each devotional entry contains some of the author's personal story, Scripture, My Father's Heart (which is like a letter or poem written from God to the reader) and ends with a prayer.

I love everything about this devotional and recommend it highly. I intend to gift it to others and return to it again and again.

My thanks to the author and Books Go Social for allowing me to read a DRC of the book via NetGalley. All opinions stated in this review are my own and are freely given.

For anyone going through a tough diagnosis or illness, this book is for you! The author gives us an intimate look at what she experienced with process of her diagnosis and her journaling with God as He spoke with her. This is the first in a series of three: I will definitely go back and read the other two. There is something profound in her writings that everyone needs to hear; such as taking time to slow down.

Thank you to BooksGoSocial for the copy of the book as well as to the author, Karen Brough. Mrs Brough we all have something to learn from your story!

The book “Be Held By Him” has a great subtitle, “Written by a very natural girl and a supernatural God”. Author Karen Brough’s book is an inspirational devotional book, highlighted by a her love for God, her faith in His mighty power and love, and her beautiful strength that enabled her to love and minister to others, even as she battles for her health. The author shares about her physical ailments, and shares many precious Bible verses and prayers.

I was very moved by this book, and I highly recommend it, especially for those who are struggling with problems. While I read it all at once, so I could prepare a timely review, I recommend that readers use this book as a daily devotional, as there is much to glean from the wisdom of this book. Many thanks to the author and Books Go Social. This is my honest review.

Received free copy on Netgalley for my honest review. This is one woman's journey through an undiagnosed sickness and her dependence on God. Also how she coped with everyday life while being sick. It's very encouraging for anyone battling disease and sickness. How it taught her to rely on God versus herself. How it is in the trials of life that one grows stronger.

This is a beautiful uplifting book, full of encouragement. I particularly like the prayers and the encouragement for those on their own spiritual journey. I’d love to have a cup of tea with the author and perhaps some of the healthy ‘gelato’ that she makes in summer…this book feels like talking with a friend.
