God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea #bookreview

God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea (Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas, July 2013)

In the South, nothing is more refreshing than a glass of sweet iced tea. Nothing, that is, except experiencing God in those small, everyday moments.

God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea is a deeply personal collection of spiritual treasures designed to help readers experience new mercies each morning. Seasoned with insight and grace, this tender devotional points to the divine presence of God in everyday moments. God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea will help readers develop a daily habit of turning to God in those quiet moments of reflection.

She enjoys writing for her popular blog, Write Moments with God, and engaging with her readers. Rose is from a tiny Georgia town, and has lived near Augusta, Georgia, for the last twenty-eight years. For the last twenty years, Rose has been a French and English teacher. She’s also worked as a counselor, librarian, and ESOL teacher. Rose enjoys baking, gardening, and spending time with her six children and their families.

My thoughts:

Need a spiritual pick me up?  Need someone to help you get through a hard time?

This book will do that!  I received this book during a hard time for me.  In fact, it arrived at my house while I was still in the hospital with my youngest when she had encephalitis(for those who don’t know, this can be fatal).  I needed this book.  I needed this encouragement.

Written in a voice that you find drawing you in, pulling your closer, closer to God and to yourself in finding Him.  It will revolutionize your quiet time.  You will find yourself without a complete day if you try to shirk that time as well. 

I really can’t describe how wonderful this book is.  You just need to go find yourself a copy and experience it for yourself.
