When Life Doesn't Match Your Dreams: Hope for Today from 12 Women of the Bible by Jill Eileen SmithMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Some stories in the Old Testament, we tend to skim over. Others we read with interest, but never take the time to really think about the characters spoken of, especially the women. We never take a moment to pause and think of what their day to day lives were like, what their hopes and dreams were, what they feared, or what they loved. Jill Eileen Smith does all of this and more in her newest book "When Life Doesn't Match Your Dreams". Jill has a unique talent for making even the obscure characters come to life. She takes you into their very hearts and brings them to life and light. In this latest book, she not only brings them to life, but she molds your thoughts around how their lives parallel and reflect our own. She pulls the deep truths from their stories and shows you how to apply them to your own life in very practical ways. Each book I've read by Jill Eileen Smith has registered among my all-time favorites, and this one does no less. In fact, I believe she's out done herself this time, and this book may quite possibly become my "forever" favorite. I highly suggest reading this if you're even the least bit curious about how some of our Old Testament favorites lived, and what they believed. Men and women alike will benefit from this book!
