In this book Karen Ehman gives some great, practical examples on how we can "love one another". I appreciate that she gave a variety of realistic examples for a diverse number of situations. I have tucked away a few ideas to use in the future and let the love of Christ shine through me as I put these into action.

"Make Their Day", by Karen Ehman, is a practical guide for providing encouragement to those around you. Ehman devotes chapters to family members, friends, community servants, and all types of people who need you to "make their day." I discovered many new ideas that I would not have thought of otherwise.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is a book filled with 101 ways to show love to others. Whether they are your family, friends, strangers, Social Media peeps, acquaintances… anyone! Some of them will have to wait until the pandemic has ended its power but some can be done while we are in the middle of it!

Lots of great ideas and gives you all the feels as you plan to implement some of them. Can’t wait to get started!

I received a complimentary ARC of this book from NetGalley on behalf of the Publisher and was under no obligation to post a favorable review.

Make Their Day outlines 55 ideas to make the people in your life feel special. The author presents different ideas for categories in your life: friends, family, coworkers. 

This was a cute idea! I like the idea of celebrating the good things and good people in your life. Some ideas were religious, I liked them but if other people aren't into that sort of thing it wasn't too too much!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a short and sweet book, good for if you are looking for some ideas on how to show a little love to others but want some slightly more creative or sentimental ideas. At the end the author even includes some printables to go with a few of the ideas. A good read for an afternoon.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bethany House Publishers for an e-ARC of this book.

What a thoughtful and thought provoking book. I loved it immensely! Make Their Day talks about different ways you can enrich the lives of others. It is filled with creative ideas to make those around you feel loved and special.

I started this book and read it in one sitting. So many of the author's ideas had me pausing to think of a person that would love to be blessed by an action suggested in this book. There are also many ideas that the author covered that my best friend and I implemented in our lives throughout the years and that has rendered some of the best memories of my childhood with my friend.

If you have a giving heart and love to bless others around you, this book is for you!

Karen Ehman’s Make Their Day is chock full of ideas of ways to bless others. I loved the practical and creative ideas in this book. Additionally, the organization of the book makes it easy to navigate when looking for ideas of different groups of people...friends,family, those in your community, long distance, those who are hurting, etc. I highly recommend this book.

I read this book and it has so many ways ideas I could take away and use on a daily basis.  Karen gives practical ideas on how to focus on others and make them feel loved and appreciated.  So often I think doing something for someone else has to take lots of time and effort but in reality I can do things that are easy, don't cost much if anything and really show someone else love.  I would highly recommend this book.

Loving this book filled with detailed ideas on how to spread joy and compassion throughout all your relationships!  Not your average list of ideas, these are well thought out and include the extra details. Excellent for gifts, or keep as a resource,

I received a digital ARC of this book from the publisher as part of the book launch team. Gift Giving is my love language so joining this book launch was a no-brainer for me. Karen gives you 101 ways to bless others from simple to extravagant, from your friends and family to your neighbors and church members. Karen breaks up those 101 ideas into 8 categories and gives you ideas on how to make someone's day in that category. Karen even has recipes and gift tags included in the book that you can copy and put with the gift of choice. Not all gifts cost money, some are just giving of your time or talents. Most of these you can even do during our current pandemic. Who doesn't need a nice little surprise after the year we've had? I highly recommend buying this book! It's an easy read, and you don't even have to read the whole thing all at once, you can just have it as an idea book. Need an idea to bless a friend, go to that section. Need an idea to bless a neighbor, go to that section. What are you waiting for? Go "Make Their Day"!

What many of our friends and family need most right now is an extra dose of kindness. What the world needs is an extra dose of kindness. Have you ever had the urge to do something nice for someone, but didn’t know what to do? I’ve been there many times. Karen has come to our rescue and created a book full of incredible ideas for making people feel special. Ideas for those nearby, far away, and those we haven’t met yet.

I’ve found that looking outward and finding people to encourage has helped me out of some of my darkest days. Thank you, Karen, for a wonderful tool for the days ahead!

TRULY enjoyed reading this book of so many ideas on how to love on those around me. The more I kept reading the more I loved all the ideas- for instance the Pizza Garden idea or the Basket of Love idea !! Also this book is pretty and will make a sweet gift.

Make Their Day by Karen Ehman is a wonderful collection of 101 delightful ideas of ways you can encourage others. Included are ideas such as leaving out treats for your delivery people,  putting together a gift basket of items related around a book, and so many other creative ways to encourage.  Some might think of Karen as the "queen of hospitality" who delights with her simple and practical ideas of showing hospitality to others, wherever it may be!

In Make Their Day, Karen shares ideas to encourage friends, your own family, throughout your day and around your town, across the miles or through the internet, those who are hurting or in need, within the church, through holidays as well at in your home. Karen even offers some fun printables.  

After reading Make Their Day, you will be inspired by not only the ideas Karen includes but inspired to think of other ideas as well!  I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review, which I was happy to do. I heartily recommend Make Their Day!

Make Their Day is full of wonderful ideas to touch other’s lives. Some are for hard times but many are just to reach out and say you care. during an ordinary day. Something we all need. A great book to keep on hand when you want to do a little extra for someone you know or even someone you don’t. I know I’ll be referring back to it for the ideas and recipes.

One of the reasons that I love Karen Ehman's books and Bible Studies is that they are practical and relevant you everyday life. Make Their Day didn't disappointment me. It is full of practical suggestions of ways that we can reach out to other gals and demonstrate God's love in a simple, yet meaningful way! It is full of ideas to help us reconnect after being separated during the pandemic. I encourage you to get the book and make a positive difference to someone by using one of Karen's suggestions!

In the deceptively simple format of a list,  Karen Ehman provides a wonderful testimony of the love of God in action which spurs the reader on to spread the love themselves.  Practical ideas are shared with testimonies of how these ideas have been used to make peoples day by the author and those around her. I have never been so touched by a list before.
