Get Unstuck, Be Unstoppable: Step into the Amazing Life God Imagined for You

Valorie Burton. Harvest House, $12.99 trade paper (208p) ISBN 978-0-7369-5678-9

Offering inspirational encouragement, certified life coach Burton (Happy Women Live Better) challenges readers to get out of their ruts and chart a course toward the life God has in store for them. In a number of short chapters designed with space for responsive journaling and concluding prayers, Burton probes the fears women have, the ways in which they get overwhelmed, and places where a woman's will doesn't match up with God's. Drawing on examples from personal and client experiences, she explores common ways women get stuck in relationships, finances, career, and health. She draws on principles of positive psychology and scripture to guide readers out of the trenches and refocus their thoughts on what God can do. Though she opens with "8 Irrefutable Rules of Getting Unstuck," the rest of the book proves to be a loosely organized collection of inspiring principles, many of which are repeated in subsequent chapters. Readers looking for a scriptural Christian view on the topic will find plenty of discussion about God, but even more positive psychology, which can enlarge Burton's audience.
