Holy in the Moment by Ginger Harrington
(Format used for this book: print–paperback)
I had the honor to meet this author a couple months ago and chat with her about this book.
I couldn’t wait to read it….and I did alongside a few other local ladies for the past 6 weeks.
We gather tomorrow for our final discussion (and a Skype chat with the author!) and I just finished the last chapter today.
Here is a summary:
“Enjoying life (zoe) in Christ comes in the choices we make moment-by-moment. Transparently sharing her struggles with anxiety, fear, and insecurity, Ginger Harrington invites women to discover how intentional choices made in the moment can become holy habits that open the door to healing and freedom. With a refreshing perspective, she shows that holiness isn’t a rigid standard to keep but a gift to receive through a vital relationship with God, who makes us whole.
Holy in the Moment explores the practical power of choices to grow in holiness without the pressure of perfectionism. Through gentle encouragement, biblical insights, and applicable ideas learn to discern feelings and overcome distractions and shame, adapt God’s equation for obedience, live a praying life, discover methods for practicing holiness in parenting and the importance of rest, embrace biblical love and forgiveness, and understand how work becomes holy.
Find healing and wholeness with simple choices to love God, embrace truth, and enjoy every moment of life with practical ways to be holy by choosing to trust God, rely on his wisdom, and live from his resources”
I truly enjoyed this book…I loved how Ginger kept things super simple…
I tend to over complicate and over think all the things in life…especially my faith!
She gave so many simple, basic thought processes and strategies to implement and think about and remind myself of…I just adored that.
Sweet reminders and “Spirit checks”.
The Simple Reminders at the end of each chapter were little bite sized highlights from what you read and are GREAT for a quick refresh to turn back to at a later time.
My main take always from this book were two things:
-praying should be a constant communication and more about relationship than obligation
-turn my thoughts from “I HAVE to do *insert whatever duty/chore/responsibility I am complaining about*” into “I GET to do *said thing*”
I recommend this book, especially to read with other ladies and discuss!
