This Kind of Love: The Overwhelming Power of Promises, Patience, and Faith by Kaelin and Kyrah Edwards Book Review

 

 

In This Kind of Love, Kaelin and Kyrah Edwards have written a brand-new book about their love story and how they lived through some of God’s promises. They opened up about how they met first back in Junior High. They had two classes together the first day of school and then the second day they were separated because the classes were too full. They became texting buddies and they tried for more but at the time they decided to just stay friends. Kyrah wasn’t allowed to date until she was sixteen. She opened up about how her parents fought constantly and struggled in their marriage. She also discussed how her girlfriends at the time introduced her to church and the youth group. This was the first time she got to know God and His ways. Kaelin was a little different and he grew up in the church and his dad was a pastor. He discovered how he like to work the production side and with the sound system. He explained how he struggled with dating the Godly way and how he chose to date with the intention to marry. Kaelin revealed how a lot of her life at the time was spend on Twitter and how she had gotten her phone taken away by her father for a whole year. She still wasn’t allowed to date and, in the book, they go into detail about how that changed and how they eventually fell in love and got married. In the book, they also revealed how they created a YouTube channel, Kaelin and Kyrah and how they gained a lot of views from a popular prank video when Kaelin threw his phone into the pool. They opened up about marriage life and what it has taught them and how they are learning to navigate the adventure of parenting two small children. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is looking for a new book that covered dating, marriage, parenting, and life in general. I liked how they shared both of their backgrounds and in the book, they switched and shared from both prospective. I immensely liked how open they were in sharing their struggles in their marriage and how they overcame and dealt with them. I also was surprised to see both of their decision on waiting until marriage to have sex. I liked the message they shared about waiting on God’s timing and waiting on God to reveal His plans for our lives.

Pursue Patience: She’ll Save Your Soul By Don Eugene Brown Book Review

Don Eugene Brown has written an excellent debut book entitled Pursue Patience. The book included many personal stories from his life and his struggles with dealing with patience. Don Eugene Brown has served in the military many different times throughout his life. He felt like God was calling him to a higher existence and in order to get there he had to ask God for what most of us are afraid to ask for. Before he left for a military mission in Germany, he decided to follow God’s prompting and pray for the virtue of patience. A key note to remember is when you pray for patience, you have better get prepared to be tested in this difficult and challenging area. Patience is remaining calm through the storms of life, she doesn’t hurry up when we are attempting to make things happen in our own strength and in our timing, and she won’t reveal everything at once. It’s important to rely on the word of God and His perfect timing for completion for our dreams to come to pass, and strength and guidance in the storms of life.  Patience is a critical aspect that must be enacted. The book included dramatic Biblical examples, including Abraham’s faith and standing on what God has promised until it came to pass to encourage readers on pursuing patience.

 

One part of the book that immensely benefited me was when Brown shared a vulnerable story to his pastor and his brotherhood of friends. He stated that he wanted to be like Paul and he didn’t believe he would ever marry. Eventually his desires changed and he later met his wife when he stopped looking for her. I personally have witnessed my own desires change over the past two years. I have always thought the same that I wouldn’t marry, especially since the rate of divorce is 50%, and I’m wondering how many couples are truly happy and fulfilled, and I wouldn’t have children because if you look at the world I just see a lot of conflict, danger, and trouble. I’m currently now twenty-two years old and this past year, my desires have changed. I actually want to settle down, marry, and have children someday.  Before I would have said no way! God had to slowly change me. Brown encouraged me to stop looking around for a spouse and when it’s time for us to meet God will lead the way and direct our paths. Now he isn’t saying to give up on marriage, he’s only saying to have patience. Patience has to be a chosen decision because trying to make relationships happen could lead me places that I don’t want to travel and my bag of regrets to accompany me. I must also display patience in not falling into sexual temptation before marriage. This one is very complicated to maintain when our hormones and our bodies are demanding go ahead and have sex and make love. Patience and waiting until marriage is the safe way to have the marriages God has intended, and much heartache would be saved if we waited on patience.

  

This is the author’s first book and I can’t wait to see what other best-selling books he writes! This book will bless you with learning about patience! I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is struggling to endure trials and curve balls that life can throw our way. If you’re trying to move ahead of God in certain situations, then you need to read this book on patience! The waiting stage of life can sometimes be long, and you may be tempted to become discouraged but take heart, one spoken word and God can turn anything around. Delayed gratification isn’t often what many of us consider thrilling because our flesh tends to want the whole thing now!

 

As a society, we have become more and more of a generation of people who want and are demanding everything to happen now when we want it to occur. We want to our marriage partner to come across our path this exact moment (today, please), the slow automobiles to move out of our lane or go faster, our perfect career to manifest right now, our children to obey our house rules, when I say do it, you better do it and no talking back, the long lines checking out at the stores, and purchasing whatever goods we want but don’t truly need.

 

This book will guide you into chasing after patience in your life but be warned that when you pray for patience get ready for the tests to come! Reading this book has shown me, I have to have patience behind slow drivers which is a battlefield for me, especially when my favorite driving song comes on and I want to cruise. And what’s really bad is when it’s a praise song and if the car in front of me heard it, well let’s be honest it would hurt my Christian walk. This book has assisted me in waiting on God’s timing for my wife to come into my life. Whatever areas you have to deal with concerning patience, this book will immeasurably make you reach into your very soul and activate the virtue of patience that God wants to bring forth into you. Your harvest will come! Go after patience!
