Shine by Nancy Segovia

Synopsis ‒ Shine

The Bible tells us we need to “shine before men,” but what does this mean and how do we do it? In Shine: How to Walk the Talk, Nancy Segovia lays out a series of simple steps you can to take to walk the talk: to love God above all and your neighbor as yourself. Using parables, folk tales, and struggles from her own life, she provides uplifting insights into the Christian walk that can make your first steps easier. She examines scripture for clues on what it means to shine, how to reflect God’s love, and what to do when the muddy messes of life blot out God’s light in you. You will relate to her failings, those "Duh!" moments when spiritual understanding begins to dawn. Most important, you will learn how to apply that understanding―you will learn how to turn your talk into your walk and how to help others to do the same.

My Review:

I really liked that each chapter had a verse and a prayer in it. I also liked the author was down to Earth and did not judge, but gave advice on how to change. I also liked that she told me in the intro that I didn't have to change everything all at once. It will be a lot easier for me if I can change little by little.I would have liked to read this for my confirmation prep. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review through the book reviewers yellow pages, however all opinions are my own.
