Summer Reading

Being healthy isn't all about working out and eating right, you've got to stimulate your brain and relax a little bit. Take time for you. Unwind and forget about everything else for just a few minutes. For me, that takes place with reading. Whether it's before I go to bed or sitting outside on my porch. Summertime is a great time to tackle that book you've been wanting to read, but haven't had time.

This summer I've been reading a book called What Southern Women Know About Faith by Ronda Rich. This book is an easy read and helps me unwind before going to bed. I highly recommend this to all my ladies who love all things Southern and who have a strong belief in their Faith. It totally depicts life growing up in the Bible Belt.



In this book, author Ronda Rich tells stories of happiness and heartache, friends and family, and a faith that's strong enough to conquer all of life's trials and tribulations. Who doesn't need to hear about that?! As Ronda says, Southern faith “is a faith that is plain, simple, and sturdy, that is utilitarian in practice and that fits as comfortably in the hands of Southern women as a baby, an iron skillet, a hair brush, a telephone, or a broom.”

This book will take you back to your roots of moonshine, revivals, Sunday family dinners, those over-the-top Easter outfits, prayers answered and unanswered, and the grief that either made or broke your family. She helps you discover that faith that supports you when you begin to stumble, then grabs you up by your boot straps and steadies you back on your path.
