FINDING THE TRUTH ABOUT OURSELVES

The book, Zealot, is well written and highlights a topic that every Christian should consider in self-evaluating the basis of their beliefs. Too many people, regardless of the belief in God or a religion, needs to understand and evaluate what we have been taught to believe and come to a conclusion about ourselves. In terms of history, the book does its job. However, it is this last part that I wish Reza Aslan would have addressed, even as it related to his own "conversion" to Christianity and his born Muslim faith. Without this part, regardless of whether we discuss Jesus, Mohamed, or any other religious figure, can we grow to accept the truth of how we got to where we are, in terms of our beliefs (right or wrong), and, in turn, be more tolerant of the beliefs of others.

This a very in-depth soul search of one's own integrity that comes naturally. Most of us don't measure up, but from this book you definitely can learn how.

How many lies do we tell ourselves each and every day? Were not good enough, not smart enough, not capable of tackling that challenge or making that dream come true! How many times do we feel like were all alone in that fight, that no one knows what its like? Well, my friend, to that Rachel Hollis would say Girl, wash your face! This book tackles the lies we tell ourselves as Rachel openly and honestly shares her experiences and reminds you that in those moments when you feel like giving up, when the lies get too loud, to simply wash your face and kick that lie in the teeth because you are not alone and you can rise!

Beyond Perception beautifully weaves the story of one man's search to find truth, with the practical tools for readers to actively learn from his experiences. The author offers support to many aspects of our human story including relationships, religion, culture, and science through observations and reflections which not only shed new light on our common perceptions but encourages us to investigate further. He delves into the issues of spirituality, the ego, awareness and letting go with such grace and personal recognition that the reader can't help but be inspired to do their own soul searching. I highly recommend this book to anyone curious about the state of our world and their own mind.

I heartily recommend this book! There are some great insights presented with a great deal of clarity. But most important... The book is helpful in uncovering ones own self with greater insights and clarity. I enjoyed it. I read it slowly over the course of around a year.

I found the book to be a reminder of who we truly are. I believe that we inherently know these things. This book is well written and an easy yet important read.

"A Legitimate Journey" shows us that the truth about who we are lives in our souls. Kathleen D. Hamilton illustrates that whatever your situation, whatever has happened in your past, with the right tools as outlined in this book you too can become empowered to forgive, to be healed, and to be set free to live your life to the fullest.

The book is one of great discovery of our own minds. Its full of openings for you to discover what truths you've been hiding in your day to day life. I would say it's a book, that in our times we need.

What a beautiful journey this book, You Are Worth It, offers to the reader! Sentence by sentence, Louise provides us with a powerful book loaded with insight, wisdom, and truth, enabling us with many growth opportunities throughout. This book is a profound tool for delving into the depths of our beliefs about ourselves and how we choose to show up in the world. Louise's thought-provoking questions relating to each week's topic offers great openings for self-awareness and reflection. Self-worth is one of the greatest wounds of humanity and I applaud Louise's approach to helping us realize our value and honor our Souls.

I like the informaiton in this book. It confirmed something that I have felt about myself for years.  I "instinctively know" now I trust myself and my intuition more.  I have purchased 3 books to share with family and friends.

"Every Thought Captive" is an excellent book for women who have self-worth issues, who have trouble with worry/anxiety, forgiveness, envy, lust, eating habits or body issues, depression, those who crave acceptance from others, and those who get trapped into extreme business or fall into apathy. The author covers problems, some common to everyone, but from a distinctly female perspective.

She shared stories of women who struggle with or have struggled with these issues. She then identified the root of the problem and shed the light of Biblical truth on the various lies women may believe who have this problem. Not every problem--or every lie listed under each problem--will apply to every woman. She deliberately gave a wide list to try to help the reader recognize if they have the problem and to apply the truth that specifically addresses the lie they believe. The author was never condemning in tone--many of these problems were lies she believed and the rest were lies her close friends have struggled with.

I really liked how she focused on using the truths from the Bible, replacing the lies believed with the truth that frees. If you think you (or, in the case of men, your wife or daughter) may have a problem with one of the issues listed above, especially body issues ("I hate my body"), then I'd highly recommend this excellent, easy to understand book.

I received this book as a review copy from NavPress.
