Carrie Stephens shares her journey of life, being a pastor's wife, and motherhood in an entertaining way in Holy Guacamole. Carrie shares stories from her growing up years, to early marriage, to raising teenagers and how she has been used by God during those times. I loved the footnotes {which are hilarious side commentary!}
Carrie also draws on her experience of a being a pastor's wife and the dynamic that it adds to her life as well as the expectations of others. One time a friend shared with her that she is "holy guacamole" and totally worth it! Carries expands on this idea of value and worth. I appreciated the practical and real life stories that 40 something Carrie incorporates into the book!
On page 174 Carrie writes, "Relax, you'll get what God has planned for you from the beginning of time. In the meantime, let her (meaning those you compare yourself to) have her things. Let him do what God made him to do. Let God be God. To carry this truth in our broken world, maybe we need to practice receiving whatever God's hand is holding out to us today - even when it seems like less than what He promised."
I did enjoy this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
