A Redesigned Life

The very existence of HGTV, the DIY movement, and Pinterest proves we love great design. We adore plans and perfectly staged rooms. But what happens when we discover we are living a life we did not design? When our dreams lie in tatters or when we experience loss of any kind? What happens when life feels like one big Pinterest fail? Where is God in the midst of what doesn't make sense? Does he care?

Drawing from time-honored design principles such as movement, contrast, and pattern, former interior designer and Bible teacher Tracy Steel offers frustrated and discontented women the assurance that God is their ever-present, caring Designer. With a mix of wit and wisdom, Tracy proves through biblical examples and personal testimony that God remains true to his plans and purposes, accomplishing them in and through us in every season of life. She helps us recognize God's design principles, enabling us to embrace our sometimes messy lives, especially when they're ones we never would have designed for ourselves.


My Rating: 5 Stars
First of all, I love the premise of this book! Using design principles applied to our spiritual walk is a new and fresh way to look at our walk with the Lord. Considering the way my life isn't what I had planned it to be back when, this book was a must read for me. It did not disappoint! Chock full of practical and Godly wisdom, this book is one I will read again because there is a lot of meat to this read. I especially identified with the sections on contrast and balance. I am already planning a slower reread of this book in the future because I know there is more to glean from only reading it one time. This is headed straight to my keeper shelf!

I received this book from the publisher and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
