Lysa Terkeurst has been one of my favorite authors for several years.  I’ve ready many of her books and even done some as a small group study.  I can be pretty skeptical of others, so I was very excited to check out her new book, I Want To Trust You, But I Don’t.

Throughout the book, Terkeurst introduces many concepts of what may be causing distrust and skepticism.  As each is dug into, she continuously points the reader back to God and what He says about us. I really liked the section about trying to control things that we don’t trust.  I found certain parts relatable and other parts hard to read and a bit unrelatable.  This is one of those books where I found that it is good to take what I needed and leave the rest.  I think I may re-read it in a few months, though, to see what I may have missed or to digest a bit more.

In addition to the book, there is an I Want To Trust You, But I Don’t Study Guide.  As with many of her books, there is a study guide to work through with a small group.  This book is designed to be completed in 6 weeks, but after flipping through, I think I’d double that time.  There is a video session, group discussion, followed by 5 personal studies days each week.  The personal studies include scripture reading and reflection questions.

My 9 year old son LOVES his LEGOs.  He is going to be so excited now that I’ve signed him up to receive the LEGO Magazine for FREE!  This magazine comes out 5 times a year and is filled with ideas, comics, posters, and more!

The past few weeks, my husband and I have been reading through The Deep-Rooted Marriage by Dan B. Allender and Steve Call.  I was so excited to read this book after following Dan Allender on instagram for a while and listening to his podcasts.

We were sent The Deep-Rooted Marriage book along with The Deep-Rooted Marriage Companion Guide.  What I love about The Deep-Rooted Marriage book is how it gets to the root of your own story before working on marriage as a whole.  It gives wonderful tips on moving past the hard parts of your story and creating a stronger marriage.  There are sections about how we respond to conflict and why.  This part was probably the most interesting to me.

We also have started The Deep-Rooted Marriage Companion Guide.  It comes with a link to watch videos of Allender and his wife.  It was neat to hear and learn from them firsthand.  I love that it is set up to be used in a small group setting.  I would definitely love getting together with a group to go through the book.
