In "Finding Calm In Life's Chaos," Becky Harling guides the reader through some simple Biblical truths that sometimes get lost in the busyness and difficulties of day to day life. In the stories she shares, her honesty and sincerity bring to light some of the things we all struggle through. She also offers a reminder to see the bigger picture and rely on the peace and hope that can be found in Jesus Christ. It was a pleasure to read and an encouragement to me in my own life.

Becky Harling's "Finding Calm in Life's Chaos" is filled with wisdom for women in every season of life. This book is brimming with biblically-based insights that are not theoretical, but practical in nature. Written with transparency and authenticity, the author shares how she learned to draw near to God in the midst of her own personal tragedies. She also shares from the experiences of others, but more importantly bases her insights on the solid foundation of the life, example, and words of Jesus.

The book comes with a study guide which can be used by groups or individuals. Highly recommended!

Experience is the best teacher. Becky's experiences parallel the lives of many women who are seeking a closer walk with God. She provides succinct summaries of action steps that busy women need to review when feeling overcome by the turmoil of living in the world. This is a book that will be read over and over again in every season of a woman's life.

Becky's book helped me to focus on Jesus when I am going through a crisis or I am tempted to worry. I also use it in mentoring situations with other women who get bogged down in circumstances. Focusing on the "I Am" statements of Christ is a practical way to rise above the circumstances. Becky Harling's conversational writing style and her friendly wit make it seem like I know her. I can't wait to read more that she writes.

I am on my second time through this book,taking it more slowly as I meditate and review the basics of the Christian walk of faith. This is a good book for different stages of life as well as for mentoring younger women. Anxiety and "busyness" can rob us of our joy and peace in Christ and Becky uses clear and relevant examples to display Biblical truths as well as remind us of how to keep focused on Christ as the source of calm in our lives. Well done!
