When life is not going the way it was planned what is one to do? A few people turn to outside counseling, some turn to family and friends and many turn to their faith. GET OVER IT AND ON WITH IT is composed of all three elements. Michelle Mckinney Hammond is an inspirational speaker and author of many faith-based self-help books. In GET OVER IT AND ON WITH IT, using the life struggles of biblical characters, Ms. Hammond shows the reader how to overcome their own personal struggles. When reading this book, one has the benefit of outside counsel, the familiar and comforting language of friends and family, and last but not least, the teachings of the Christian faith.

To receive the most benefit from the author's counsel in, GET OVER IT AND ON WITH IT, it should be read at a time when the reader has a need for guidance and perspective. With chapter titles such as "Absorbing the Blow, Getting Back on Your Feet and Standing Firm," the book shows the reader how to be victorious in the fight of and for their life. GET OVER IT AND ON WITH IT gives the reader a warm directional approach to keeping the faith and holding on to hope.

This review is from: Get Over It and On with It: How to Get Up When Life Knocks You Down (Hardcover)

This book is full of excellent advice. I don't usually read this genre and still I found this book very useful it uses the bible to help solve today's problems. This book gave me a new prospective on the way I was looking at certain situations in my life. The author was brief and to the point, always reminding the reader to look for the answer in God's Holy bible all though the men and women who lived in a day when people took a closer walk with God. The author also showed that the men and women in those day went through similar situations as we do today. The book discusses every thing from financial trouble to death, I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to cope with the everyday stress that life brings.

This review is from: Get Over It and On with It: How to Get Up When Life Knocks You Down (Hammond, Michelle Mckinney) (Paperback)

This book is perfect. Whether you're going through something huge or something small. All struggles seem huge to us at the time and this book gives a breath of fresh air and a little break from what you are going through. Michelle (as always) takes a very Biblical perspective on the struggles and hard times that we face in life. The hard times will not stop coming as long as we are living, so we might as well get used to getting back on our feet. She allows time for grief and helps make sense of things that seem senseless. She also gives simple reminders like eating and resting and taking care of your temple during these hard times. God is good and I'm so glad to have authors like Michelle out there who can really offer wisdom. A great book. I'll read it again the next time life knocks me down and do the questions after each section for deeper understanding.
