Book Review: "fresh-brewed life"

Nicole Johnson’s Fresh-Brewed Life captures you from the moment your eyes meet the book. The title and cover artwork of the book create a welcoming and warm atmosphere that invites you into a world where you can find peace and tranquility. While reading this book, I especially enjoyed that Johnson included quotes from well-known people to help validate the messages she is trying to get across to the reader. The quotes aren’t just intertwined, but there are made to stand out amongst the pages of the book. Johnson succeeds to offering her readers the opportunity to reflect upon their own lives, as if they were enjoying a simple fresh cup of coffee.

I also particularly enjoyed that this was not your ordinary self help book. Johnson beautifully and openly gives readers the chance to reflect upon their lives, while finding comfort in reuniting with or strengthening bonds with our savior. In fact, chapter one is entitled “Surrender to God.” There have been so many things going on in my life, that reading this book was an excellent break from all of life’s stresses. Being able to reflect with God was an opportunity that I will forever cherish. I would highly recommend this book to anybody willing and wishing to slow down a bit in the comfort of the Lord.
