The Review

This was such a heartfelt and compelling read. While a short book, the author’s words and message pack an emotional punch that any pet parents or animal advocates will instantly understand. The poignant, often introspective yet heartfelt messages of hope that these passages bring to life on the page for readers are both reflective of life as a whole and strike a resonating chord for those of us who have both lost and loved pets throughout our lives.

The themes and messages this story plays with are memorable, from taking the time to live in the moment and utilizing our dog’s ability to stay grounded to remember that, to taking the time to pause what we are doing and take in our surroundings, much like our dogs do when they stare out a window or go on a walk. The author’s ability to offer daily prompts to help promote these ideas, combined with the reflective nature of these passages, will keep readers engaged throughout the book.

Emotional, heartfelt, and compelling, author Kim Lengling’s “15 Ways Pets Teach Us Kindness” is a must-read nonfiction book of thoughts and motivational inspiration that will keep readers grounded. The important lessons, love for pets and animals in general, and overall connectivity of the book’s themes are perfectly elevated by the book’s ability to draw readers back in time and time again.

The Review

As a pet parent myself, I instantly identified with the author’s collection of stories from some pet parents who felt that same emotional connection to their pets as I do to mine. The honesty and depth of each story were greatly reflected in the author’s writing style, allowing these memories and experiences to come to life in a unique way. 

The emotional core of this story rests in the shared memories they have with their animals. I know better than most the pain and devastating feeling that losing a beloved pet can have on you, and the author was able to dive into that element of being a pet parent with grace and heart that allowed the reader to feel those emotions as well. The author was able to find their voice in these stories as well, allowing the subject of each story to have their moment in the sun while also bringing her own heart and experiences to the stories.

The Verdict

Memorable, heartfelt, and engaging, author Kim Lengling’s “Paw Prints on the Couch” is a must-read nonfiction book on pet care and pet parenting. The passion and emotion with which the author brought these stories to life and the balance of heartbreak and heartfelt storytelling made this a compelling read.

Author Kim Lengling returns to share 19 stories of women who were able to experience God’s grace and the impact it had on their lives in her book “When Grace Found Me: Real-Life Stories of Women of Faith Volume Three”.

The Synopsis

Have you recognized and received God’s grace?

Experience and read of God’s grace placed upon nineteen women within the pages of this book. He brought together women of different cultures, countries, and backgrounds to share their testimony of when God’s grace found them and changed them forever. No matter where you are, there He is.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

The Review

The author did an incredible job once more of giving readers a personal and emotional reading experience. The strength and conviction from which each of these women’s stories stems were greatly felt in the collection of stories found in this book, and the relatability of the stories helped drive home the connectivity we all share with one another in this life, through good times and bad. 

While not religious myself, one of the things that faith-based readers are going to really be driven by in this series overall is the impact that faith and recognition of a divine presence or grace can have on a person’s life when they need it the most. Whether you are a believer or not, recognizing when a person can find the motivation to make changes in their life or gain the confidence to move forward with other aspects of their life is always inspiring and heartwarming to read. The thing that really stuck out to me is how each story felt unique and contained in its own right, and left readers feeling a wide range of emotions, giving the collection some fresh perspectives and a new experience each time.

The Verdict

Memorable, emotional, and inspiring, author Kim Lengling’s “When Grace Found Me: Real-Life Stories of Women of Faith” is a must-read nonfiction book for faith-based readers and Christian disciplines. The connection that readers will be able to draw from these stories to their own life is endless and highlights the endless possibilities that life itself holds in store for us all.

Author Kim Lengling helps readers seek inspiration from powerful stories of women of faith in the book “When Grace Found Me Volume 1”.

The Synopsis

With the turn of each page, you will find words of encouragement, hope and God’s grace living within the twenty women who share their personal testimonies within this book. Through faith, perseverance, overcoming fear, anxiety and loss, the women who have shared their stories realize that God has been with them every step of the way. When Grace Found Me is a book for anyone who may be seeking a reminder of God’s unending love for us.

The Review

This was an inspiring and heartfelt read. The author really dug deep into a wellspring of emotions and personal experiences to touch upon the stories of these powerful women who became resilient enough to trust in themselves and their beliefs to overcome great odds. The honesty and conviction with which the author wrote and brought these stories to life was moving to say the least and did a great job of utilizing imagery and tone to elevate each story to the platform they deserved.

While I myself am not a particularly religious person, any time a person can overcome something in their lives, be it a tragedy, grief, or any sort of hardship, the means by which they do it matter little to me, but instead the journey and process they took to get to that place is what truly matters. I found these stories to be quite moving, and readers of faith will, in particular, connect to the authors writing as this short yet powerful read paints a vivid image of what happens when a person puts their strength and faith into an idea or belief system. 

The Verdict

Motivating, engaging, and thoughtful, author Kim Lengling’s “When Grace Found Me Volume 1” is a must-read nonfiction inspiration collection of stories. The heart and passion of the author’s writing when coupled with the moving stories of these strong women overcoming lifelong and daily life experiences created a truly strong and emotional reading experience readers won’t be able to put down.
