Fresh-Brewed Life by Nicole Johnson
I admit it. I love all things coffee and I certainly can’t get my day going without a cup. Or three. So when I saw the title of Nicole Johnson’s book, Fresh-Brewed Life, I was hooked. In her book, Nicole calls us to wake up from our hum-drum, dazed, and sleepy approach to life. She encourages us to reflect inwardly, discover our weaknesses through the act of journaling, and turn them over to Jesus. He, and only He, can set us free from those damaging issues, like hidden anger, that wear us down. In it’s place, we’ll have a refreshed, revived approach to life and a renewed relationship with Christ. Nicole uses interesting, heart-wrenching, and funny examples from her own life to illustrate this book.

I love the coffee references in Fresh-Brewed Life. I love the coffee trivia, and the thought of curling up with a good book and a hot cup of Joe. What’s not to love? The book is interesting to read and spiritually challenging. I love that Nicole calls us to journal our lives. Not only is it cathartic, it helps us see patterns, prayers, and God’s answers in our lives. She even gives great tips on how to incorporate journaling into an already busy life. While this book is a great read, and Biblically accurate, I would have loved to see Nicole go even deeper spiritually. But I’ll take it as a bonus that her words left me hungering for more, both from her writing and especially, from God’s Word. If you’re a woman who needs a boost, a coffee lover, and someone looking for some insight into another woman’s journey, then this book is for you. Drink it up!
