Brumbaugh https://www.nlbrumbaugh.com/?post_type=book&p=1434 Reflections: Memoirs Reflecting God’s Word by Joan Marie Risch (Friesen Press, 2013)

This book contains insights for the spiritually minded person. Reflections: Memoirs Reflecting God’s Word, written by Joan Risch, contains a collection of analogies, scripture verses, and insights. I first met the author at my church. She had come to hear me speak and to also purchase one of my books. At the time, she was in the process of writing this book, and she promised me a copy. I received it a week ago. I wasn’t able to stop reading it until I finished it last evening. Every day I would spend some time reading and reflecting on the book’s insights and concepts. It is both enjoyable and profound.       Risch loves the Lord. She has an intimate walk with God and is quick to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. I found its words to be motivating in my spiritual walk. This book is both a delight and a challenge. She does not try to convince anyone that she is right. It is a memoir of God’s liveliness in her life. I appreciate her positive spirit and that she doesn’t distract us with unnecessary side eddies. Risch gives enough personal information to help us understand but not overwhelm its message. She keeps focused on the truths that God has elaborated in her life.       This book is both an encouragement and a blessing. It should be read as a personal journey, one packed with depth of meaning, highlighting the spiritual walk of a person devoted to her Maker and Keeper. A comment about the book’s presentation. The story analogies are  presented in small groupings along with many scripture references. It is written in small print.
