Book review : Standing in the Storm

Book review : Standing in the storm by Matt McChlery is an exceptional piece of showing courtesy and faith towards God, Our Saviour.

This is a memoir of the author who shares and beautifully explains the two ways of life. His journey of hardships and the way he handles his family as well as himself in worst times in the hands of Jesus is praiseworthy.

Bad times and problems are a part of life but the way one deal with it is really notable. There is no person on earth who has never dealt with problems or is suffering from miserable conditions. The author here shares that if we leave everything on Jesus and just do our work as he wishes then nothing can stop us. We will easily cross the river of hardships and worst times in a short while without noticing it either.

In this book , the author suffers from non-hodgkin lymphoma and death of a unborn child which his family with the grace of Jesus courageously face it and come out of it. The wording from the book that I like most :

The Bible calls those who believe in Jesus, overcomers (1 John 5:4- 5). This clearly indicates that there must be something to overcome. Life does not suddenly become free from pain or suffering when we choose to follow Jesus. If this were true and life contained no trials , there would be no reason for our faith .

I loved reading this book and got ample inspiration quotes that are worth bringing in our own life and thanking God as much as possible. I recommend this book to all memoir book lovers.

I am thankful to Kelly @lovebookstours for providing me this book in return of an honest review.

Happy Reading!

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...

The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia | Book Review Marketing is such an in-depth concept that it always transitions according to consumer preferences. The extent to which marketers go to sell their products will blow our minds away, as money comes first rather than people's needs. Even the bare detail that hints at our desires is manoeuvred to boost sales figures, often overshadowing the genuine connection between a brand and its audience. This relentless pursuit of profit can lead to practices that prioritise persuasive tactics over transparency, leaving consumers feeling manipulated rather than empowered. sales.
