Flourish: Discover the Daily Joy of Abundant, Vibrant Living

Catherine Hart Weber, Bethany House, $14.99 trade paper (256p) ISBN 9780764208089

A licensed marriage and family therapist, Weber (A Woman's Guide to Overcoming Depression) has compiled a neatly written how-to resource on living a life that flourishes in every sense possible. Weber's homespun, gentle writing style draws readers close as the author shares generously about her own life struggles through various seasons of darkness and physical setbacks. She offers equal measures of positive can-do pep talks and biblically oriented principles for thinking, believing, and feeling with vibrancy, successfully communicating hope, help, and a sense of positive expectation for the future. Weber demonstrates via real-life examples how to transform a mediocre existence into one that radiates peace, joy, and resilient hope. Practically perfect, Weber's book is more than just another feel-good read. This author equips readers to pass the "goods" along to others. (Oct.)
