Book Review: Beautiful Battlefields

About Beautiful Battlefields:
Where is God in the midst of this?


You've probably heard that question or perhaps asked it yourself. In the battle for your joy, your marriage, your finances, your health, an emptiness creeps in. Where is the peace You promised, God?
Bo Stern has been there-and is still there. Yet in studying the battles in Scripture, she came to a startling conclusion: God is using these fierce fights in our lives for an astonishing purpose.

Meet Bo:
Bo Stern knows the most beautiful things can come out of the hardest times. Her Goliath came in the form of her husband's terminal illness, a battle they are still fighting with the help of their four children, a veritable army of friends, and our extraordinary God. Bo is a teaching pastor at Westside Church in Bend, Oregon.

My Review:
Don't you just love this cover?!?!  It totally draws me in and the book does not disappoint!  Bo Stern is a pretty awesome woman of faith.  Her husband was diagnosed with ALS so her life is filled with a constant battle.  We all have our battles... with infertility, in our marriage, raising children, with the world.  We just have to seek God and His beauty in those moments.  Bo definitely believes that our battles help make us stronger, or can make us stronger if we allow ourselves to see the positive that comes from the battle.  There is not beauty in the battle, but there is beauty in who we become because of the battle. 
I recommend this book to every woman, especially those who are going through their own battle... but aren't we all at some point?
 
I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
