Celebrate Lit book review blog tour stop 10

Celebrate Lit book review blog tour stop 10








Book review by Petra Creasy


My Thoughts:

This book is probably one of the most uniquely-written books I have ever read. It reads almost like an autobiography of a woman who lives a prayerful life.
Victoria Sponge is an ordinary woman with an ordinary life, which so many women can relate to. Her struggles with every situation in which she finds herself is somehow refreshing to the reader when lived through prayer. Joys are multiplied, sorrows are shared, and pain is lessened by the presence of the Lord in each moment of her day.
The reader sees how openly Victoria communicates with the Lord in a pure and honest way. The Lord is not represented as a distant Being, but rather an intimate Friend Who never leaves and is a part of every moment of ever day of a believer’s life.
I received this book for free. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

Christian ebook review day five


My Two Cents

I had the wonderful opportunity to review this book. Let me just say that it has become one of my favorite books. As I was reading this, I found myself laughing and crying alongside Victoria. Her characters are easy to relate to, and they feel so realistic (this is one feature I always look for in fiction). One of my favorite things about this book is how Victoria prays as various trials or joys come her way. She is no way perfect, but she strives look to God in everything she does. If you haven’t purchased a copy of this book yet, I highly suggest you go out and purchase a copy right now!
Thank you to Celebrate Lit and the author for providing me with a free copy of this book. I was given this book in exchange for my fair and honest review. No monetary compensation was given.

Christian book review - day one

How to Make Victoria Sponge blog tour




My blog tour with Celebrate Lit began today with the first blog stop. I was delighted to receive the following review:

Endearing and one of a kind . . . How To Make Victoria Sponge will make you laugh, cry, and delight you all at the same time! The British vernacular incorporated was a welcome surprise and was such a nice aspect of the book- I felt the sudden need to have hot tea while reading :) This is such a unique book because it's so relatable to any mother or wife and all the chaos that comes along with it though you love each person that causes the chaos. It's also unique because it's not written like your typical book- it is more of a chronicle of events that happen in Victoria's life and how she responds to the stress and happy events that come her way. We learn that simply saying Yes to the Lord on a daily basis brings Him great joy and glorifies Him. We learn that being a mom and wife is ok even if we feel like our lives are just mediocre, because God is pleased with us simply trusting Him and obeying Him. He sees us all as special, unique children of His no matter how simple our lives may seem when we glorify Him with our actions. He loves to speak to His children as we communicate to Him which we see so clearly in Victoria's monologue of prayer and the Lord's response. Honestly, this book felt like as much of an inspirational devotional as it was a heartwarming read. We see how Victoria rises above the stress to be a loving wife and mother, a loving, supportive daughter of aging parents, a friend who is there in times of grief, and more all because she learns to constantly communicate with the Lord and meditate on His strength and His words to provide strength and direction. While we all know that we need to constantly depend upon, communicate, and meditate upon the Lord, this book actually challenged me to realize how much being aware of the presence of the Lord is a need in my life. You will be completely delighted with this book from all aspects of its' wonderful surprises. Thank you for an inspiring, emotionally packed, heartwarming read Mrs. Kazmierczak! :)




I am delighted that my ebook blessed the reader and hope that it will bless more readers who read the review and decide to purchase the ebook.

God bless,

Margaret xx

Christian book


My Christian book called 'How to make Victoria Sponge' has just received another 5* review. It is so encouraging to read that a person has been moved to write a review.


Without further ado this is what was written:


What a remarkable and enriching book - engaging, practical, funny, sad, powerful and poignant. It's structure and immediacy hooked me at once - I'd not read anything quite like it before. An entirely original way of writing about family, faith, and meaning. 


https://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/1906631425/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=recent#R24ZW8JQMPEHKR 


We all need encouragement in our lives and in our jobs. I pray that God will encourage you today to do the best you can for God's Glory and for His Kingdom. 


God bless you all.


Margaret

Advent Day Seven

Image result for I am a christian

I am a christian, not because I hunger hypocrisy but because I thirst for redemption.

I am a christian, not because I am perfect but because I understand that I am not.

I am a christian, not because I have all the answers....

but because I trust in the One who does.
