I received an ARC of this book from Emanate Books via NetGalley, this review is my personal opinion.

On this book Lisa N Robertson talks about her experience as a new believer and how God changed her life in all these years, I like the concept of this book. Is center on the bible and on those principles and how to put them on practice to live according to God’s will for you? However, I believe that this book more useful for those who are parents. Since in several chapters as a mom she talks about her daughters and son she gives good advice and I think they could be useful for those that are on that moment of life. But, overall this book is a good book in which tell us how important is not only know God but to walk with Him side by side.

The maturity and truth this book challenged me with have been such a gift and grace from God. Every day as I would read a section, I would laugh because it was exactly the themes that God was already teaching me with and growing me through.

Robertson challenged the reader with lessons and spiritual wisdom gained from her faith journey, from discovering God as her Savior in college to parenting and leading small groups. And it was AMAZING and presented in a way that any age could benefit from and enjoy each section. Consequently, I have a large fraction of the book copied out into my devotional journal, where the words continue to give me joy and hope even as they convict me and inspire me to dive deeper into my faith.

The theme of the book is how to live life in a habit of dwelling, walking, and living in the path God has laid out for the Christian through Scriptures. Through amazing and beautiful scriptures as well as great word pictures the author creatively and thoughtfully develops the theme of living for God.

The secret to growing the fruits of the Spirit—staying connected to the true Vine—is revealed. The theme of living as a peculiar people, and our path being narrow is developed. The foolishness of clinging to the comfort of familiar insecurities and worries rather than trusting in God is demonstrated. So many other solid Biblical truths are taught, and as I read through this book in the course of a month or so I was built up, blessed, and bolstered in my faith. I HIGHLY recommend this book to Christians who are serious about learning how to live a life more centered around God’s Will.

Wonderful and powerful book. This book brings encouragement for all no matter your situation. With real life stories and most importantly the Biblical wisdoms help golder you in the right direction for yourself. I think that you should take this book show and in small sections. I also believe it's one you could most likely read multiple times and get something new out of it. Even though I'm not a parent yet kids are a big part of my life and I was able to get something out of those chapters as well.

This book was interesting. I really enjoyed some chapters, while others didn't connect with me. There were several chapters that I took something away that I could apply to my life. Others, I just felt a little lost. I wasn't sure how everything really applied to the idea of "The Path of Life". But with all that being said, I would recommend this book because I really did enjoy most of it. That can often happen in these types of books, because every person is at a different stage in life. My favorite chapters were those that dealt directly with parenting. I would read those chapters again just to remind myself. Overall, a well-written book, with a great message!

This is a very nice book of Christian witness and encouragement for women. The author grew up Episcopalian and married the son of Pat Robertson (of the 700 Club). I appreciated the author's candor and willingness to deal with tough life challenges. She tells stories of her own life and how she overcame difficult times through faith. I especially appreciated her discussion of the break-up of her own church and how she used this crisis to move on to new and successful ministry.

This book would make a fine text for a women's Bible study or book group. Discussion questions for each chapter are included in the back.

I am not a Blogger but an average reader, I love to read good material. When I saw the title of your book along with the design I had to inquire and I was not disappointed. This book was well overdue, I cannot wait until it is publish. If you are giving out free copies I would love to have one.
