How simple it is to turn frustration into peace. The author takes one bible quote and in one or two pages explains and applies it to life's everyday hassles. By the time I read one every day, hassles really become petty! The author's writing is clear and easy to read, and he makes you feel as though you can effortlessly apply each one to your everyday life. I felt as though each one was a simple solution to a more peaceful daily life. If each one page chapter were printed on the front page of the morning paper for everyone to read each day, the world would be a more pleasant and friendlier place.

I received this book as a gift and highly recommend it! Easy & fast reading....with very meaningful short essays relating to everyday life. It is a must purchase for you & friends that are looking for ways that God can move in your life.

Even after reading just the first few chapters of this book, I was left feeling motivated and uplifted. It is a book that gently guides you through the problems many of us face. This book covers those things in life that overwhem us such as worry, anger, relationships etc. I definitely found encouragement from all the advice the author shares. He writes it in such a honest and loving manner that made me want to become a better person in God's eyes. I highly recommend it!

This is a wonderful book with 85 short chapters. Each chapter is about one and a half pages long. Each chapter is on a different subject. It covers just about everything a Christian might encounter. At the bottom of each chapter is a Bible verse that is relevant to what he is talking about. I found it very interesting and easy to read while traveling, etc. because of the short chapters. I have realized the love that God has for me through this book. I found that as I read, I would go back and re-read a lot of them again because they were so uplifting or meaningful. The front of the book says, "How to Keep Life's Petty Hassles from Overwhelming You." All I can say is get it and read it! I am going to pick up a few extra copies to give out as gifts!

"God Said It, Don't Sweat It" by Neil Clark Warren can either be read as a devotion (a chapter a day for 85 days) or read several pages in a few sittings (book is around 220 pages). Each section contains a certain theme of about 2-3 pages and covers such topics as:

1. Please God instead of people.
2. View others as equals.
3. Do what is right and true.
4. Do your best and do not compare yourself with others.
5. Forget the past and move on to a great future.
6. Be patient with others.
7. Look for the positive and be full of joy.
8. Stop lying to one another.
9. Eagerly tell others the Good News.
10. Love God and serve His people.

The book is a great read, full of encouraging thoughts and challenges to live the way Christ wants His followers to live.

Read and enjoy and be encouraged.

Highly recommended!
