Very profound and real, something you need when everything fades away and only truth can heal. Raw, honest, feels like walking in a garden with your childhood friend.

3.5 stars. I first heard about Tasha through her music and ironically her song Look What You've Done. When I saw this ARC available I jumped at the opportunity. Although I did enjoy learning of her background, her testimony and her overall growth as a Christian I was a little disappointed in the shallowness of it. I was hoping for something deeper and with a little more substance. This felt more like a devotional with the very short chapters, guided questions and minimal scripture. Despite this being a little more bland than what I expected from a worship leader, I would still recommend this book to others.

This was a great inspiring book for someone looking to really get in touch with their god. If someone wasn't very religious this may not resonate much with you. I would say this is a great well written book and can be helpful in giving a new viewpoint to your life.

3.5 ⭐️ In Look What You've Done, Tasha Layton (Christian singer of the song by the same name) shares her testimony of faith through stories of her life experiences accompanied by what she learned about God through them. Many of the lies that she believed and the truths she discovered about God were relatable and encouraging. There were a couple of chapters in particular that moved me deeply and reminded of me something about God that I really needed to hear. She addresses insecurity, comparison, waiting on God, mental health, trusting God with your dreams, and more with relatability, compassion, and truth.

I do wish that she had gone into more depth, both in explaining her story more thoroughly and in providing the Scriptural response. For example, I would have been interested to read more about her exploration of other religions and how she used her position on Katy Perry's tour to be a light for Christ (she mentioned that she believed God put her on the tour to be a light, but she didn't share about any specific circumstances in which she was able to do so). I would say that this book offers more of a cursory overview, and it felt a lot like a devotional-style book. I actually think it could be good for a small group or book club of teenage girls.

My one real complaint was the inclusion of several (often unnecessary) details about material possessions or worldly experiences. Much of the book was relatable, but these parts negated some of that. For example, in one sentence, she talks about her time in Israel enjoying food, music, and the beach, and then in the very next sentence, she describes how that experience gave her a feeling of security in her faith. Another example occurred later on in the book when she said she "needed" to go skydiving, backpacking, bungee jumping, etc. while she was young, before she got married and settled. This claim sounded really privileged to me, especially considering that many people have desires for adventure and will never be able to do these things. I'm happy for her that she was able to have these experiences, but I'm surprised she wasn't more sensitive to how this comes across seeing as she mentioned having tight finances in the earliest chapters. I guess it felt at times like she was trying to mix aspects of a celebrity memoir with Christian living, and these things didn't always mesh for me while reading.

Thank you K-Love Books and NetGalley for the ARC!

Tasha Layton writes with honesty and grace in this book. Look What You've Done captures emotions that are all too common, and rarely acknowledged with openness. Layton shares a powerful and insightful experience in a text that was encouraging for me, and will offer encouragement to many readers who are exploring their faith and the paradoxically difficult work of loving and accepting themselves.

In her book Tasha Layton invites us in her journey of healing and share about her music career.
She tells us how God changed her life, healed her broken heart and open door in the music industry.
After a breakup in her teenage years she drifted away from faith looking for God in other religions until God gently brought her back to him, He saved her life and show her how much He loved her.
Tasha also talked about her experience in American Idol, touring with Katy Perry and how God prepared her for the season she is now in.
Look what you’ve done is also a song in her beautiful album “How far”.

This really touched me. The days I read it were January 26; January 27; January 28; and January 29, 2023. It really touched me. I actually felt seen and understood through reading the book. So much of what you talked about are things that those in the disability community feel and deal with too.

Synopsis: “The Enemy will tell you every lie imaginable to bring you to your knees…But I’m here to tell you that not one of those lies is true. God loves you more than you can possibly understand…” Singer songwriter Tasha Layton delivers a powerful in her book Look What You’ve Done. You’ll time travel through her childhood, high school, college, and young adult years with her as she explores the topic of hardship and the goodness of God. How does he fit into suffering? It’s an age-old question that I think we all long to be answered. Tasha’s memoir is sure to encourage you along the path God has for you.

Analysis: A few weeks ago I had the privilege of watching an interview and hearing Tasha Layton sing in person, and let me just tell you, wow. What a gift God has given to this beautiful woman! You’ll laugh with her, empathize with her, and learn from her as you read the story of what brought her to where she is today. This book will leave you inspired, encouraged, and excited to worship with her as she continues to grow her musical career.

Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book. I don't have any fancy, well put together words about it but I'll say this - it spoke to my heart.

Tasha Layton's songs always hit my heart. Funny how Look What You've Done was the song I chose as my birthday theme song. Reading this book has helped me see my life through a newer lens and is making me brave enough to talk to God about certain things.

Thank you K-Love and NetGalley for this book.
