Too Blessed to be Stressed

Do your to do lists have footnotes? Has your fam suggested a rabies shot because your bite has surpassed Rover’s?

Maybe it’s time for a healthy dose of truth gift-wrapped in humor. With her own offbeat brand of wit and near-wisdom, inspirational humorist Debora Coty addresses the heart-needs of desperate women drowning in the churning everyday stress-pool of busyness.

In Too Blessed to Be Stressed, you’ll find simple, practical steps for attaining the peace that you crave as you struggle with the stresses of finances, health, career, relationships, self-image and family. You’ll discover healing, refreshment, and revitalization for your own spirit, body and mind through heart-changing real life stories, biblically based insights, and short chapters for on-the-run convenience.

I recently requested a review copy of this book from Litfuse Publicity, and I couldn't wait until it arrived! However, I must admit that I was a bit let down. While I love the layout and categories that the book is broken up into, I don't care for Debora Coty's writing style. To me calling our Holy Father "Papa God" is demeaning. I know that not everyone feels that way, and I'm not putting anyone down who does use that name. It's just not one that I am comfortable with. She also used several Bible paraphrases, instead of actual translations (NLT and Message included). Again, nothing wrong with paraphrases in general, I just prefer word-for-word translations. In the end I didn't get a single thing out of this book. For something that I was looking forward to so much, it's hard for me to say that I will not be recommending this book.
