“Wherever you are, a new story is just waiting to be written, and you are the only one who can write it.”
Amazing words of wisdom from Jan Silvious in her book, Same Life, New Story. I was captivated from the moment my eyes met the pages.
Silvious teaches us in the book, which can also be used as a Bible study, how you can Change Your Perspective to Change Your Life. Each chapter walks you through stories of courageous women in the Bible who chose to write a new story in their life, and also includes personal stories from real women today.
Silvious closes each chapter with personal reflection questions, journaling topics, and group discussion questions.
Jan talks about overcoming life and getting rid of the victim mentality, tossing out those negative thoughts that we let take space in our minds, God’s wisdom, letting go of fear and doubts, and more.
Some of my favorite quotes:
“People somewhere are reading our stories right now. And even when we are gone, those people will remember things about us and the stories we have told with our lives.”
“God promises that He is listening. He hears the whispers of your heart.”
“He writes with a soft-tipped pen when he deals with our broken and grieving hearts.”
This book is a must read for all, no matter what stage of life you’re in.
