We all know that life does not always go the way we planned. After all, it does not all happen on our time frame. Everything happens in God’s timing.
But we sometimes need a bit of encouragement and that is when I love to turn to devotionals and books with encouragement and positivity. This new release is a perfect choice for the uplifting message we sometime need.

Exceptional You! by Victoria Osteen: Review
I have read several books by Joel Osteen and love every one of them. This book is the first I have read by Victoria and I was so thrilled to find it just as encouraging as his.
Exceptional You is a book loaded with stories and messages that make it easy to understand God’s love for us. This book focuses on us and our confidence in growing ourselves through God’s belief in us.
It is not written with men or women in mind. It is for any one, any age, that needs help understanding the level of love God holds in His heart for us and why we need to understand and believe in ourselves the same as He does.
We all have gifts and we were brought here to find and use those gifts for the glory of God. Victoria uses many references from scripture to show us those that lacked the belief in themselves, yet went on to show how they prospered physically or spiritually once they committed to and believed the Lord.
This is a perfect book for anyone that needs a reminder about who’s child they are and what God has done for us. He believes in our abilities because He gave us those abilities. We give back honor and thanks when we use those them to our best ability.
The end of each chapter is a check list of sorts to remind you of the truths about God and to remember the stories and scripture she uses. I love this part!
Who do you know that would love a book like this? You have to check it out!
