A lovely inspiring book, reminding us to connect with the everyday, and allow God into our lives. I enjoyed it even as a not very religious person. It was uplifting and joyful.

Pros: This book reads like a Bible Commentary mixed with a Bible study feel. I was hoping for more because of the richness of the verses and what the author had to say. This book left me wanting more, but still feeling fulfilled at the same time. Number 59 is vital because I work with the public, and I'm an instructor so I cannot express this particular tip enough. Be sure to do the right thing when no one is looking, in everything that you do. I teach this to my kids, and colleagues because it makes a difference. I love what this author stands for, and consider adding it to your book collection in written and electronic form.

Cons: None! I will be purchasing a copy for my private collection and making a recommendation to my library list of books as well.

I am reviewing a copy of God Is In the 20th Anniversary Edition through Barbour Publishing and Netgalley:

In this book we are reminded that God Knows what is in our hearts, so we can’t hide anything from him. We are reminded too that God values us for who we are and not what we do. This book reminds us too that God will never send a soul who thirsts to a well that is dry. We are reminded too that God speaks but we need to listen.

We are reminded too that God loves us, and that we can know his will! This book reminds us too that the Bible is God’s message to us. This book points out too that we connect to God through Prayer, as well as encouraged us to find a good Church to get involved in.

I give God is In The Small Stuff five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC of this wonderful book.

This book is just as good today, if not better, as it was when I read it years ago. A wonderful reminder to involve God in your daily life no matter what you are doing. I love this book and plan on ordering copies for gifts when it is released. Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of the book. This is my honest opinion and I highly recommend it to everybody.

This book is truly a gem. It shows that God is involved in every part of our lives. It is a book that I will often reread to be reminded that God is with me. This would be a good book to give as a gift.

Stop worrying, and invite God into the details of your life!

Bruce & Stan's bestselling God Is in the Small Stuff is back and better than ever in this special 20th-anniversary edition! And their message--God is in all of life's little details--is as timely today as it was two decades ago. While encouraging you not to disregard the minor, insignificant things in life, God Is in the Small Stuff invites a better understanding of God's infinite character, reminding you that He is a personal and intimate God, involved in every detail of your life. God Is In the Small Stuff... .and it all matters features 40 chapters covering topics like "Remember that God Loves You," "Discipline Yourself (No One Else Will)," and "Contentment Won't Kill You." Each chapter includes commentary in the classic, tongue-in-cheek Bruce & Stan style, followed by pithy, often humorous, wisdom.

Thank you, NetGalley for an advance copy for a review.
I enjoyed the Small Stuff quite a lot. I will buy it in hardcover for reference and reading more times.

First sentence: A popular book suggests that you don't worry about the small stuff. We agree, but we take exception to any idea that the small stuff isn't important. In fact, we want to encourage you to closely examine and cherish the seemingly everyday, ordinary circumstances of your life. Why? Because God is in the details of your life.

There are forty readings in this devotional-type book by bestselling authors Bruce & Stan. Each reading is SHORT and concludes with a proverbs-like list of inspirational fluff. Each entry focuses on a specific topic or theme. The readings are not necessarily related to one another--but sometimes they are. For example, there's a sequence of readings about parenting.

The authors' stated purpose for writing this one is: "to help you see God at His personal best. God created the universe, but He also created you. God knows you, God loves you, and God cares about the tiniest detail of your life."

The entries were devotional in nature. The authors may have refrained from calling these devotions instead using the word "essays" but they are essentially devotions.

The proverbs-y sections were hit or miss with me. Some I found thought-provoking. Some I found to be PURE fluff.

Favorite quote:
"When you express yourself through writing, you reveal more about yourself than you ever could by talking, even if you aren't writing about yourself."

I Love this book!!! I found it to be an inspiring quick read. As I was reading the book I found it to be simple with words of wisdom that applies to everyone and a book that anyone can benefit from reading. It has moments of humor and raw truth that point out how to allow God into your lives to build a more intimate relationship with Him but also to see how God works in our lives on a daily basis. I have a lot of passages highlighted and will continue to use this book as a reference tool; as it goes over a wide variety of topics with sound advice on letting God into your life.
