Eat Your Peas Faithfully

This book is billed as a 3-minute-forever book. I am guessing that the thought there is that it will only take 3 minutes to read, but the sentiments will last forever. That just may be the case. The book is a short, syrupy read that encourages us as women that God loves us, made us special, has a purpose for us, and we can trust Him. All of these are wonderful truths that we need to dwell on, meditate on, and chisel on our hearts. Unfortunately, these truths are so quickly read that I fear they will not make the lasting impression that they should. I think that this would be a great gift book for a teen with whom you would like to share deeper, more intimate talks. It is an encouraging way to say that someone cares and is around to share your burdens. I would hope that those who are more mature would use this as a jumping off point though. Do not let this be the extent of your encouragement. The book is artistically well done. The textured pages are simply illustrated in soft colors. The type is feminine, yet easy to read. I did find it odd that some scripture passages had the translation listed, while others did not. It made me wonder. I received this book for free from Thomas Nelson Publishing as part of booksneeze a blogger book review program. I was not required to give a positive review.
