Summary

Take the first steps to living as a healthier and happier woman and discover the spiritual importance of acceptance, gathering, and community。 Jenn Johnson has come to realize that the pursuit of perfection is unrealistic and unfair。 Instead, we need to pause and reflect on what's in front of us。 But how? How can we slow down? How can we remain focused on what's important and do things with intention? What can we pursue that represents God's heart for us, things that are true, noble, right, pure, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy? By pursuing all things "lovely。" Living a holistic and holy life, a life marked by beauty and truth, means being mindful and intentional about what we put in our bodies, how we present ourselves to the world, the spaces we create, and the people we let into our lives。 When we set our minds on what is lovely, we begin to see ourselves and the world as God intended。 We begin to be wholly renewed。

You get All Things Lovely, a new book by Jenn Johnson。 Johnson leads a busy lifestyle, serving as a worship leader/pastor with her husband at a megachurch in California。 She’s a parent of five kids, and she loves to host parties。This book is partly-practical, because Johnson shares tips for how to maintain a home and tackle clutter。 She also shares ideas for how to start or continue your fitness journey。 But it’s also spiritual and devotional, too。 Johnson opens up about her private life and just for a little while, she talks about an intense experience she and her husband had, and how they overcame this experience。 She also shares lies she believed about her own self-worth and how the power of Christ helped her overcome this。So, All Things Lovely isn’t just a food book or a party book – Johnson shares a lot about herself and her lifestyle… showing that “lifestyle” really does get lived out by expressing our thoughts, beliefs, and principles!This is a beautiful book… and this could make a great gift for any gal in your life who loves to plan parties, or who has a passion for managing her home。 Think ladies getting engaged, getting married, or who love magazines。 All Things Lovely actually feels more like a magazine than a book… and I really did love that!Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

"I received this book free from the publisher, Hachette Book Group/Faithwords for my honest review。” 。。。more

Johnson says she wrote this book to give encouragement to readers, to be healthy emotionally, spiritually, and physically。 She wants us to be able to deal with the messy parts of those areas in our lives and have all the parts of our lives moving in the same direction。 While she shares her insights, she does want each of us to find what works for us。Practical instructions are given, such as cleaning out the junk in our homes and then creating an organized way to live comfortably in the space we Johnson says she wrote this book to give encouragement to readers, to be healthy emotionally, spiritually, and physically。 She wants us to be able to deal with the messy parts of those areas in our lives and have all the parts of our lives moving in the same direction。 While she shares her insights, she does want each of us to find what works for us。Practical instructions are given, such as cleaning out the junk in our homes and then creating an organized way to live comfortably in the space we have。 There are also good spiritual lessons following the practical teaching。This is a good book for young married women and career age women。 Johnson has tips on organizing the house, such as having the washer and dryer in a closet on the sleeping and dressing level of the house。 Especially with children, it makes lugging the laundry a much easier task。 This would be a good book to consult when building a house as design ideas are included。 There are also ideas for gathering and hosting, including some yummy recipes。 (Note: Johnson is not even close to being a vegetarian。)The financial commitment to do many of the suggestions in this book may be beyond the abilities of many readers。 Johnson's suggestions for what to include in the pool house, the design for a great room, purchasing storage containers, and other ideas may be a prohibitive financial burden to the average family。 This is a beautiful book full of practical ideas and spiritual lessons and wonderful photos。 It will certainly appeal to readers who want to be on the cutting edge of classy living and entertaining。I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher。 My comments are an independent and honest review。 。。。more
