Same Life, New Story

The blurb for “Same Life, New Story: Change Your Perspective to Change Your Life” starts out explaining the following:

“Move from what is to what can be by changing how you think and talk to yourself. Using powerful character studies of ten women from Scripture, as well as modern-day stories from her work as a professional life coach, Bible teacher Jan Silvious helps women choose new stories instead of dumping, or wallowing in, their old lives.”

This book caught my attention and I was attracted to the concepts it mentions on how changing your perspective on your past and things in the present can change your life for the better.

This is written in a conversational, easy to read style, a good book to use as a base for a Bible study group and includes questions to reflect and mediate on. Each chapter discusses a different woman from the Bible and as you read about each one, you are led to see how this can be applied to your personal day to day life.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson, Inc. through their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
