Creating a Beautiful Life: A Woman's Guide to Good-Better-Best Decision Making by Elizabeth George
morgangiesbrecht's review
3.0
3.5 stars
From the title, I was expecting something different. George highlights important things we should be doing as women: prioritizing daily Bible reading, not gossiping, having right priorities, praying, not worrying, along other things. All good things, but nothing I hadn’t already heard before.
I’ve read other books by the author and enjoyed them, but this one was different. The overall tone of the book felt like “this is what I’ve done/decisions I’ve made and if you do it, your life will be so much better.” Some of the decisions are definitely beneficial, while others don’t take into consideration the different seasons of life we all face, so the decisions we make will look different, albeit still within a biblical framework. I don’t think that was the tone the author intended to convey, but to me, that’s how it came across.
It was still a good book, and I would recommend it/read it again.
