Sarah Mae

I think the main reason I liked The Complicated Heart as much as I did is because I appreciated the author's raw honesty. I would imagine that had to be a hard story to tell and that it caused memories to resurface she didn't want to think about. But it is a story that needed to be told. Her story is one of reconciliation and forgiveness with an alcoholic mother. The author extended so much grace to her mother in order for healing to take place. Sarah Mae had to set some pretty difficult boundaries with her mother and see her mother for the broken person she was in order to forgive and have a relationship with her mother.

Sarah Mae has written a book for healing. She writes of her own experience of hurts and heartbreaks and the struggles she endured throughout hed early years and how she overcame it all and is still working through it. I received an advanced ebook copy from the publisher and these are my own thoughts and opinions. This beautiful message is one for many to hear - did you struggle with parental support - read this book. Abuse, addiction, neglect - read this book. Finding God helped them both realize that God was always there.… (mehr)

I believe that we all long for a place to call home - a special place that supports us, nurtures and comforts us. Yet with today's busy lives, the demands of working full time, juggling a home, a family and everything else ... at times (for me) it's overwhelming and it feels like it's almost impossible to create the home I dream of and long for. So, it should be no big surprise that I was pretty excited when I found out I was picked to read and review Having a Martha Home the Mary Way by Sarah Mae!

The chapters are short and to the point, the household tips excellent and the chats are enlightening and inspirational. I so appreciated the tips on ways to tweak the program to my individual needs. I also enjoyed the quotes and chats on creating a home unique to each one of us as well as support and direction through Bible scripture that encourages and helps us strengthen our personal relationship with God.

This book is practical, wonderful and I give it ... 5 Stars!
