Why Her? ~ Book Review

Why Her? is an excellent, practical, advice filled book for any woman who has ever compared herself to another. In Why Her?, Nicki Koziarz shares many of her personal struggles with comparison. This book is written for any woman who has looked at another person and said, “why does God allow that good in her life? Or why does God allow the bad in my life?”

You will enjoy a Nikki‘s personal stories and honest sharing as well as the truths she digs into. I really enjoyed how she took the Bible story of Rachel and Leah and weaved it throughout the book. 

Nicki offers practical advice on overcoming comparison. There is also a companion Bible study which I did not preview but would be interested in doing. The practical insight Nicki shares is what makes this book worth reading.  I was also excited to see that a teen Bible study is offered. 

This book will resonate with anyone who has ever looked at Facebook and realized they were not invited to a girls night out, looked on Pinterest and wondered, “How they can do it all?” or seen an Instagram picture that seems absolutely perfect. 

I highly recommend Why Her? by Nicki Koziarz. I was given a free copy of the book for my honest review, but had also purchased a copy to participate in the Proverbs 31 Online Bible Study. 

In Bloom

Insecurity to Confidence

I recently read In Bloom by Kayla Aimee. This is Kayla’s second book. The first chronicaled her journey of her premature’s daughter’s birth. 

Honestly I have to say I did not enjoy this book very much. However, I think it is a generation “thing”. There were a lot of references to the 1990’s. As someone who grew up in the 80’s I did not relate to a lot of the references.  Kayla also writes with much sarcasim, which she readily admidts in the book. I am one who does not prefer the sarcasm so our styles just did not mix!

I feel bad writing this review because Kalya openly admidts her insecurity and she (as we all do!) takes personally the comments from reviews.  For me, I felt the book jumped all over the place with little coheasion.  I also picked up on much distate for the church that I’m still not sure has been rectified. 

With that being said, I think a target audience of those born in the 90’s and maybe even younger will “get” Kalya’s style and references! She will probably very relatable  those in that age group!  I invite you to personally pick up In Bloom and see for yourselt if you agree or disagree!

I was given a free copy of In Bloom for my personal and honest review.
