40 Verses to Ignite Your Faith: Surprising Insights from Unexpected Passages by [Laurie Polich Short]I love when a book surprises me, in a good way. This book offers 40 different verses which may be overlooked normally and they show the importance of these words to the time and to my life. As the title states, these verses can ignite a faith that may have become a little stale. Each verse has a short, maybe 1-2 page, reading to give insight to the verse. Laurie P. Short has done such a good job, I would love to see her speak sometime or perhaps meet with her.

This book would be for anyone who could use a fresh look at the scriptures. I highly recommend it.

I got so much out of this book! It has verses from the Bible that we might skim over or not realize the really profound insights that they provide to us.

I highlighted extensively throughout this book - in fact, there's more highlighting than white space in my book now! I gained so much from these 40 verses that Laurie shares. She focuses on so many things that we deal with on a daily basis. The why's of why we suffer, the how's of navigating everyday life, and our relationship with God and others. I was brought to a greater understanding of God's ways and how to react when certain things do happen.

I especially loved the 3 questions that she asked us after each chapter. These questions helped me to really dig deep about the verse she shared and how I can apply the Biblical truth to my own life. I always love books that give us the tools to apply God's precepts to our own life.

This is a wonderful book that I would recommend to anyone that wants to grow in their relationship with God and to grow in their faith. In fact, I did recommend it to my doctor who purchased it and loved it as well. She was as intrigued as I was with learning more about these particular verses of the Bible. I highly recommend it to you, as well.
