Something Needs to Change by David Platt

Release Date: September 17, 2019

Publisher: Waterbrook & Multnomah

ISBN: 9780735291416

Genre: Non-Fiction / Christian Living

About the Book:

The New York Times best-selling author of Radical takes readers on a soul-searching journey through impoverished villages in the Himalayan mountains, daring them to make a difference in a world of urgent need, starting right where they live.

“Grippingly vulnerable and unforgettable. I could not put this book down.”–Ann Voskamp, author of One Thousand Gifts

While leading a team on a week-long trek of the Himalayas, bestselling author and pastor David Platt was stunned by the human needs he encountered, an experience so dramatic that it “changed the trajectory of my life.” Meeting a man who’d lost his eye from a simple infection and seeing the faces of girls stolen from their families and trafficked in the cities, along with other unforgettable encounters, opened his eyes to the people behind the statistics and compelled him to wrestle with his assumptions about faith. In Something Needs to Change, Platt invites readers to come along on both the adventure of the trek, as well as the adventure of seeking answers to tough questions like, “Where is God in the middle of suffering?” “What makes my religion any better than someone else’s religion?” and “What do I believe about eternal suffering?” Platt has crafted an irresistible message about what it means to give your life for the gospel–to finally stop talking about faith and truly start living it.

Operating a silk loom at the Atlanta Exposition will give her the chance to capture the heart of a man wealthy enough to take care of Laurel and any children she might bear, as well as her mother.

Langdon Rochester’s parents have given him an ultimatum: settle down with a wife or lose his family inheritance. At the Exposition, Langdon meets Laurel. Marrying her would satisfy his parents’ command, she would look lovely on his arm for social events, and in her besotted state, he believes she would overlook him continuing pursuing rowdy adventures with his unmarried buddies. Langdon decides to woo Laurel. Willie Sharp is not well-off and must take on an extra job at the Atlanta Exposition as a security guard. When mischief-makers cause trouble in the Women’s Building, Willie is put in charge of keeping the building secure. He enjoys visiting with Laurel, who seems like the little sister he never had, but his feelings for Laurel change to something much deeper.

Top Ten Tuesday: First Ten Books I Ever Reviewed

Happy Tuesday! It’s been a while since I participated in Top Ten Tuesdays. I promise you guys I’m still alive. I just don’t know how to explain it. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been in kind of a reading slump. I haven’t had a desire to read or to do anything blog related. I’ve missed it though so I’m slowly coming back.

I’m so excited about today’s topic because the blog turns four on Thursday. Can you believe it has been four years already? I know me neither. I’m so thankful for all you lovely readers who have followed and encouraged me throughout the years. So in honor of that, it’s a day of reminiscing. We are going to revisit the first ten reviews I have ever written on the blog!

March 2019 Wrap Up!

Hey there! March has been over for a while, but I was kind of procrastinating on this post because I was ashamed to tell you that I only managed to read two books.

I figured enough time has passed that I decided to go ahead and share with you what they were.

March 2019 Book Haul!

Hello! Can you believe that it is April already?! Where did the time go? In a few weeks Easter will be here. Since it’s kind of a busy time in my life and I’m behind in reviewing a buttload of books (book slumps probs), I didn’t take on as many books as I usually do.

Be on the lookout between this month and next month because I do have some fun stuff coming.

Anywho, it’s time to reveal the book haul! As always, many of these books I received from the authors, blog tour programs, or publishers that I received for free in exchange for a review. All thoughts or opinions are completely my own and can be found in bold italics.

Welcome to First Line Fridays, hosted by Hoarding Books!

I feel like this is probably one of the first days I’ve posted so far this year. Life has been on the crazy side. Between job hunting, getting more and more involved with my church, and keeping busy with books, I forgot all about First Line Fridays. I’m so sorry guys!

Anyways, I’m back and I’m so excited to talk to you about the book I’m featuring today.

And the book I’m featuring today is:
