Brumbaugh https://www.nlbrumbaugh.com/?post_type=book&p=3426 Awkward: a 30 day challenge by Jenna Benton (Create Space Independent Publishing, 2014)

Jenna Benton has done it. Really. Through this delightful, short and easy to read book, Benton has captured the theme of what it is to live in an uncomplicated trusting relationship with God against the hubris of life. This is real life. Reminiscent of past generations of Jesus Followers like the authors, Ann Kimel, Glaphré and Rebecca Pippert, we are given an opportunity to see what it looks like when someone chooses to follow Christ even when it is uncomfortable and they feel insecure. Benton wants us to look at ourselves, take stock, let go of our fears and choose to move forward, which means, in real life, to do what is unfamiliar and awkward . . . and life-changing. I love her stories and her heart. Here is a woman who is saying it like it is. I think you will enjoy Jenna Benton’s spiritual journey and identify with her fears and her struggles. And, hopefully, you will love her Jesus and allow His love to change you. Each chapter in Awkward has action steps you will want to complete.
