A Sense of Humor Helps With A Fresh Start

This book helped me with my fresh start after a separation followed by divorce followed by my exhusband passing away a month later. The author approaches a fresh start with a sense of humor and showed me how to laugh at myself while going through some tough times.

Fresh Start by Doug Fields

A Fresh Start...don' t think that the title tells it all. Starting over is what God is all about, after all, like the bumper sticker says,

"God Allows Do Overs". Doug Fields, who is a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church, does an excellent job pointing out,

(Biblically I might add), that no matter what you've gone through, no matter how far you may have "fallen from grace", God

still offers the awesome possibility to truly have a fresh start. With all the Biblical characters that Doug mentions, it is clear

that God has a plan for everyone that begins with a fresh start.

Having said that, I must say that I can tell that Doug spent 25 years as a youth pastor. Although his writing is very clear, and

again, has a good Biblical base, it is loaded with a stylized humor that, for me, is rather distracting. I love humor mixed with

theology and spiritual thinking, but the rule of comedy or humor is timing, and his timing can be a little off.

I did enjoy the book very much, though. The encouragement to me personally, was much needed. I really felt that this book,

being my first from Thomas Nelson Publishers for me to review, was planned by God. I do recommend this book to everyone,

because truthfully, everyone needs a Fresh Start.

Fresh Start

God's Invitation to a Great Life

By Doug Fields

Thomas Nelson Books provided me with a copy of the book "Fresh Start" by Doug Fields for my review.

Fresh start by Doug Fields is a wonderful, often funny, book. By sharing new perspectives on single life, married life, and everything in between, Fresh Start gives clear guidelines to follow. That, coupled with scripture background to relieve the pressures of today's world, Doug Fields will help to get us "unstuck." Everyone can have a "FRESH START".

The book description is as follows:

If you had the chance to change your life for the better, would you? All it takes is a decision.
