Book Review by Sheila DeChantal

Jewell provided me with tools for my marriage that I sometimes forget I own….  ~ Sheila

MY THOUGHTS:

I enjoyed how author Jewell R Powell used the story of Sleeping Beauty to reflect Gods Love.  In today’s world, I don’t think it matters if you are about to be married, newly weds, or on 22 years (like me), this book has something we can all benefit from.   The study questions and places to leave my reflections were wonderful as I like to take notes when I am learning.

The book is interesting and laid out in an 8 week format.  In a quote by Mother Theresa :

Spread Love wherever you go: first of all in your own house.  Give love to your wife or husband, toy our children, to a next door neighbor… Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.  Be the living expression of Gods kindness, kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

~ Mother Theresa

The part that got me there was the first sentence.  How often do I spread myself so thin throughout the day that by the time I land back at home with my husband there isn’t a whole lot of me left?  A wonderful read – a great study guide for individuals or couples.  I would recommend this book to anyone who is planning to get married or is currently married.
