"A woman overwhelmed"-is this a phrase you can relate to? If you answered yes, you need to read Hayley DiMarco's new book, A Woman Overwhelmed. The best-selling author shares biblical insights and personal stories to offer a glimpse at the comedy of an overwhelmed life while encouraging us to discover the depths and heights of God's love and power. Choose to bask in the abundance of the Father instead of the abundance of life as his unfathomable depths can surely replace our fathomable messes.
My Review:
I liked this book. DiMarco has a good combination of humor and teaching, making the book an enjoyable yet instructive one. I like how she encourages us to get the proper perspective on life. We need a Savior and were meant to be overwhelmed by Him.
She
helps us understand how we get overwhelmed, wanting to control our
family and, well, everything. She encourages us to be honest about
our failures and not act like we have it all together. Faking it is
of no benefit to us or others. I really appreciated her section on
comparison.
My
favorite part of the book was her insight that we were made to be
overwhelmed by God. He wants to be a part of what overwhelms us.
Another
topic very enlightening was about control. She is honest about how
people make her life miserable when she is not in control of them.
“Making God's will more important to you than your own is the
passage way from complaint to contentment.” (Loc 977/1575)
To
help incorporate the teaching, DiMarco has included thoughts to
ponder at the end of each chapter. There are also additional
resources available at the publisher website for the book.
I
recommend this book to women who feel overwhelmed and desire a better
perspective on life. You'll get some great teaching as well as a good
dose of humor.
