From Blah to Awe: Shaking Up a Boring Faith by Jenna Lucado Bishop

This book is a very well written book for young girls. Jenna Lucado Bishop writes in a compelling conversational style that will help introduce young people to deeper theological concepts through stories and testimonies. The book serves to function as a journal with many prompts for writing and thought on the concepts in the text.


When I originally ordered this book I only saw that it was a book for children, I had not noticed that it was for girls (although perhaps I should have assumed such). Overall, I am still glad that I read this book. The author does not allow her book to become a superficial feel-good devotional. There are many complex concepts in this book that are adroitly addressed with younger readers in mind. What results is a book that is refreshingly honest, easy to read, for children, and yet....deep. Were Jenna to remove the "girliness" and the aspects of the book that appeal to the younger crowd, the chapters in this book would be fit for any Christian, no matter the amount of  time that they have been saved. If I ever am blessed with daughters I would definitely encourage them to read this book.


I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
