Free From Blah To Awe: Shaking Up A Boring Faith Crafted By Jenna Lucado Bishop Viewable As Text

most circles the words, "I'm bored with God" would be met with indignation and probably judgement, but in discussing that very issue in her book From Blah to Awe: Shaking Up A Boring Faith, Jenna Lucado Bishop takes the stigma away from asking the hard and sometimes downright hard questions.
Even though this book is aimed at teens it is written in a way that even a grown woman, like myself can benefit from reading it.
Jenna utilizes easy to understand language and vivid true stories to drive home her points, This book is not a list of "do this" and "you will receive this", Instead it is a gentle look into what causes us to be bored and how we can remedy it, I feel like Jenna reveals the truth that God is the same and it is us who need to examine our attitudes, but I love that she doesn't talk about it in a judgmental, guiltproducing way.
She leads gently to the truth and simultaneously inspires you to rectify the situationto do betterto not settle for the status quo that society tells us should be the norm.


This book is filled with reallife inspiration and downtoearth, practical guidance, I feel like Jenna could have been my small group leader growing up, She asks poignant questions and then gives you room to answer them, The only thing that could have made this book better was a small group discussion dvd and even then I think it would be just another resource.
It wouldn't necessarily make this book any better than it already was, I can' wait to put this book in the hands of my youth group,

This was great, It really helped my faith, especially the writing exercises, Thank God I found this book, If you are feeling bored in your faith then this book is for you, . . IF you are also of the female gender, Bishop does a great job exploring why we sometimes find ourselves feeling bored in our faith and what we can do to fix our situation.
Each chapter explores different issues that any Christian might face in their walk with God not spending time in God's word, not having a deep understanding of the height from which we have fallen, or not viewing God as infinite.
Bishop uses her own experiences as well as other young women's to illustrate her point, She ends each chapter with an overview/summary and action steps for the reader, Throughout the book Bishop leaves room for the reader to write their own thought into the pages, to think, ponder and digest, Although this book contains truth and wisdom that could benefit anyone, I would only recommend it for females, as Bishop writes exclusively to them throughout this book.
The flowers on the front cover would also discourage most guys from picking this book up, From Blah to Awe by Jenna Lucado Bishop

I received From Blah to Awe by Jenna Lucado Bishop to review a couple of weeks ago.
At first I thought it may not be for me, Although after I started reading I really enjoyed this book, Jenna offers insightful examples of how to get out of that boredom we sometimes get, At least I know it has happened with me and although, I thought it was more of a book for my teen daughter, I must say that this book got me thinking about new ways to connect

with my lord, She had some really great stories about how people found ways, To overcome that boredom we sometimes get, She also gave some insite about what had brought about that sense of Blah the people she talked about, All in all this was an excellent insightful book that can help you get over that hurdle, We all get at times, she gives advice in a lighthearted way that makes the reader feel like, She wants to interact with the book,
So, it took me a long, long time to finish this book just because I've been reading it on and off for a while and I just finished it.
This book gave me some great realizations of what it means to have a deep and real relationship with God, It's a little bit dry at times, but the overall book is fantastic if you're looking for ways to make your faith a little more interactive.
I strongly recommend this book for all young Christians! Happy Reading! A journal type of devotional book geared toward teenagers, From Blah to Awe is easy to read and will help bring more interest to young readers.
Jenna doesn't come across as preachy, but on a level that teens can associate with, It's a very informative book that can be shared with friends, a youth group or to work on your own, It's hip and cool cover is very eyecatching but it's what that is inside that will help teens find their way, Have you ever felt bored with God

Everyone, especially teenagers, struggles with being bored with God from time to time, Sometimes church services and Bible reading dont seem that exciting, and its easy to get busy and not make time to pray, . . but when this happens, we are missing out!

Jenna Lucado Bishop shares her testimony and others' stories to see what a radical, living relationship with God looks like.
But this book is not just based on feelings, The Bible gives steps that will help girls hunger and thirst for more of God,

This book will not only offer girls a fresh perspective, but it will also help them do a little soulsearching and discover where they are in their own lives.
Plus, it will let them in on the worlds greatest secretthat the Creator of the Universe loves and cherishes them deeply and that a fulfilling relationship with Him is the most exciting they will ever have.
For anyone who didn't know, I'm a Christian trying to discover God amid the drama and hormones involved with teenage years, This book reaaallly allowed me to connect with my faith and with God in ways I hadn't before, From Blah to Awe made me excited to open my Bible and have a Bible Study every day :D Definitely recommended for any tween or teenager that wants a relationship with the Savior : I was excited to review this book since it's targeted for tweens/teens.
I was hoping Makenzie would like to read it but she wasn't interested at all, I'm saving for her in the future, I now know that some of the things discussed in this book are just too much for her sweet little mind to handle, I'm taking drugs, prostitution, etc.
It's enough to make a sheltered home school girl blush,
This is a really good book, I was pretty sure it might be kind of boring being written by Max Lucado's daughter Jenna, I mean really, what kind of life did she have It couldn't have been that bad, I was sure she probably had a wonderful, christian upbringing that was pretty "cushy".
It was actually very refreshing to see her transparency and honesty in the fact that the bottom line is this, our boredom with God is ultimately US! She did not come off in a real preachy type of way but like you were sitting down with a girlfriend just talk and mulling things over together.
I give this bookout ofand recommend it for teens and up, You can purchase this book at most christian bookstores, online and is available as a Kindle download, I really liked the conversational style that the writer used, Though it is written for a
much younger reader middle to high school to young woman its a great refreshing read for those of us are older.
Im in mys and wish it had been around when I was a preteen, I also like how easy it would be to give to a brand new believer because it is presented in such an easy way to relate to.
A great book to give to any of my granddaughters as they get a little older so that they can understand how precious they are to us and God.
Many age groups would benefit from this book!
