5.0 out of 5 stars Hello! This is your wake up call!, December 22, 1999

This review is from: Fresh Brewed Life: A Stirring Invitation to Wake Up Your Soul (Hardcover)

What is living life to you? Is it going to work, home and church and than starting all over? Does life seem like an endless list of things you need to get done? If this is your thinking, let this book allow you to daydream. "Fresh Brewed Life" wakes you up to all that you have been missing out on. Nicole's desire is for you to see the "whole bean" essence of who you are. There is more to life than laundry. You were created to give God glory, not to give dishes that special shine. This book will challenge you to live for the here and now. It deals with real life issues that are facing many women today. She candidly talks about longings (and what we are supposed to do with them), anger, relationships and sexuality. (If you are single, please don't skip this chapter). Nicole Johnson has been in ministry as an actress, speaker and now author with her husband, Paul for almost 10 years. Her humor lightens up heavy subject matter and her God given wisdom will leave you thinking long after the book is done. Nicole so bravely shares her own struggle with beauty, sex, and how to be worthy of the call God has placed on her life. I read this at age 21. I am so glad that I did. I found this book to be very emotional. I went through a lot of issues that I really did not want to deal with. God will show Himself in such a mighty way. The issues seemed to be popping up every where. God used this book to heal a lot of past hurts and give me a hope that does not disappoint. Nicole will tell you to get a journal...so let me beat her to it..."GET A JOURNAL!" Keep your Bible near by. You are in for the ride of your life. Take your time and embarrass all that God wants you to enjoy. Sit back with your favorite cup of coffee (or whatever) and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you though this mighty woman of God. She shows that God will use all of our mistakes for His glory.

5.0 out of 5 stars wake-up your soul, January 5, 2000

By 

Miriam Walls (Blacksburg, Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fresh Brewed Life: A Stirring Invitation to Wake Up Your Soul (Hardcover)

as a college student, i have developed a coffee-fetish and"fresh-brewed life" caught my eye at the bookstore immediately. i am a journaler, but this book made me soo excited to write in my journal reminding me that i "must make a life WORTH recording." ms. johnson's words have encouraged me to seek the Lord's love with passion and to allow myself to be satisfied with His invigorating love rather than finding my contentment and satisfaction in consuming things. i loved the directed journaling and the inspiring quotes. i was sad when i finished the book but i'm excited to reread it and the notes i took while reading. i have felt so renewed. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars such a blessing, April 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Fresh Brewed Life A Stirring Invitation To Wake Up Your Soul (Paperback)

Reading this book was such a turning point in my life. I have been a devoted follower of Christ for many years, and have read many books by Christian authors, but Nicole puts living the life of a believer in a whole new light. The way that she sees things and communicates them to her readers is so fresh, and uplifting. This book was a great blessing. It has helped me to walk in beauty, inside and out. It helped me past a lot of hang-ups that I didn't even know I had.
