When Life Doesn't Match Your Dreams!

Wow! I had the awesome opportunity to read and review When Life Doesn't Match Your Dreams {Hope for Today from 12 Women of the Bible} by Jill Eileen Smith. First, I have to be honest. I started reading this book and it was not what I expected. I almost stopped. BUT, I'm glad I didn't! I kept reading and found it to be so good!


When Life Doesn't Match Your Dreams {Hope for Today from 12 Women of the Bible} is an amazing piece of work. First Jill takes you to the story of a woman from the Bible. (She starts with Eve.) She then imagines (based on the Bible and some creativity) how it would be for Eve. Then Jill relates the story to life today and often Jill's own life.  Jill then takes you back to Eve and finally back to life today. I would often catch myself to engrossed by the story of the women of the Bible! I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction!

I really appreciated how Jill weaved some of her own life into the book.

And I have to admit, this is the first book I've read by Jill Eileen Smith! I need to check out her fiction books. She writes in a way that inspires you to check out the Bible, see and understand what the women would actually be feeling. It gives you a whole new appreciation for women of the Bible, real women!

I highly recommend When Life Doesn't Match Your Dreams {Hope for Today from 12 Women of the Bible}. I was given a free copy of the book from the publisher for my honest review. Which I was more than happy to do!
