In I Choose Me, Jennie Garth has written a self-help book covering how to identify your purpose and rediscovering yourself after a lost. She is best known for her role as Kelly Taylor on the hit TV show, Beverly Hills 90210. The idea of the book’s title come from the scene in the show where her character had to make a choice between Brandon or Dylan. She said, “I choose me.” Later on in her own life, she realized the power of those words. It became a decision she chose to live her life through. In the book, she shared how her marriage failed and it was a slow fade. Resentment took the place of the once intimacy. He was working around the country on a film franchise and they drifted away. She had to learn to deal with the heartache and come back to joy. She explored how we can do this special exercise and write down all of our negative and limiting beliefs. She shared how she used this exercise in her own life and was able to shift her doubt to possibility.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is ready to rediscover their purpose and to learn to choose yourself. This book will assist you in quieting the small voice of negative talk and believing that we aren’t enough just the way we are. This book shared some of her life story but it was mixed with more of a self-help book. It was interesting to read about her life and what principles we can learn from her life.
In Rory, Alan Shipnuck has written a book about Rory McIlroy and his story behind becoming a 2025 Master golf pro. He begins the book by explaining how he asked Alan how Tiger Woods really was in real life. Rory was a fan of him and wanted to know more about the legend. He modeled himself after him. The book went into great detail about his golf wins and lost. Fans will remember the Augusta National and how they cried and cheered alongside him. He took the shot of a lifetime. This book is written by a sports writer so it’s unofficial book.
I would recommend this book to any golf fan and they are wanting to learn more about the life of Rory and how he rose to fame and became a master winner and the challenges he faced.
In Never Give Up, Max Lucado touched on the story of Joseph and how his brothers sold him out to slavery. They literally threw their own brother into a pit and tied him up. They disrobe him of his coat of many colors. Then they all went to have a meal. Max explained how his pit come in the form of a cistern. He compared this to someone being thrown into the unemployment line, someone going through an unwanted divorce, a death, or being abused. Joseph went through abandonment and then enslavement and even imprisonment. He never gave up even when faced with difficult challenges. He eventually rose to be second in command next to Pharaoh. What his brothers meant for evil turned out to be used for his good. It doesn’t happen instantly most times it takes years before we may even realize what the good thing was. The book also contained a 7-day devotional covering statements of strengths to encourage readers to continue on their journey and to remind us never to give up.
I would recommend this awesome book to anyone is dealing with life in a pit and they feel stuck. They maybe feeling the notice to give up. This book is a perfect reminder never to give up on life and to keep moving forward. Joseph never gave up even when he went thru the many different stages in his life. The principles in this book will remind us to trust no matter what we may encounter and to keep fighting the good fight.
He Calls Me Daughter is a deeply personal and emotionally powerful film that explores what it means to carry a father wound and what it takes to heal from it.
Through raw storytelling and spiritual insight, the film reveals how unmet needs from an earthly father can shape identity, relationships, and self-worth. But it also offers a path forward. One rooted in the love of a Heavenly Father who restores, redeems, and redefines what it means to be a daughter.
This is not just a story about pain. It is a story about healing, forgiveness, and identity.
Core Themes to Highlight
1. God as the Perfect Father
Even when earthly fathers fail, God’s love remains constant, personal, and healing. He steps into the gaps left behind and restores what was missing.
2. Healing the Father Wound
The “father wound” shapes how daughters see themselves, love others, and relate to God. This film brings language and clarity to that pain, while offering hope for healing.
3. Forgiveness Through God
Forgiveness is not easy. It is a process made possible through a relationship with God, who enables true release and restoration.
4. Identity as a Daughter
At the core of the film is a powerful truth: your identity is not defined by what you lacked, but by who calls you His.
5. A Message to Fathers
Fathers play a critical role in shaping their daughters’ sense of worth and security. This film is both a wake-up call and an invitation to show up, love deeply, and lead well.
Key Messaging
● This film speaks directly to the pain many women carry but rarely name
● Healing is possible, even from deep father wounds
● Your identity is not defined by your past, but by your Heavenly Father ● Forgiveness is not weakness, it is freedom
● Fathers have the power to shape, protect, and affirm their daughters
My Review:
This documentary features key woman who have experienced father wounds that forever changed their lives and also in the process made them who they are today. Some of these stories included: Chonda Pierce, Alex Kendrick, Lynsi Snyder, Meg Meeker, BJ Arnett, and much more.
It contained a touching story from Pricilla who struggled with a rough childhood and had a disconnect and deep father wound from a lack of a father. She discovered the path of stripping for money and how this provided her a way to make a living. She was able to send money to her brother, mother, and others to help them out. One Thursday, she met a group of ladies from Scarlet Hope. They would bring home cooked meal every week to strip clubs and try and influence and led people to the love of Christ. The film also showed how the idea and background of that non-profit came to be. At first, she admitted to avoiding them all together but overtime she finally gave them a chance. They tried to tell her about Jesus many times but she was always struggling with receiving love. She wanted nothing to do with any man and she didn’t want to worship any man or father figure. The film showcased how she became to know Jesus and was able to find another job that she was good at. When she come to know Jesus, she discovered forgiveness and healing. It was very a thought-provoking moment in hearing her story and how her life was changed.
Another favorite of mine was Christian comedian and author, Chonda Pierce. She explained how her father was diagnosed with mental illness. He was a pastor and she described how he was a terrible husband. He would have a girlfriend at every church he pastored. She recalled seeing her father having sex with different women. She was spanked one time because she didn’t knock. He shared how challenging for her it was in seeing Jesus as a father because of how her dad treated her mother and people in his household. He was living a double life and she longed for the pastor version all the time. She also discussed how this affected her and how she struggled with suicidal shame and depression later on. I have watched clips before of her comedy shows and it was interesting to see more from the person behind the jokes. You wouldn’t have ever seen this side of her in most of her shows.
I loved how the film showed who our Heavenly father is and how perfect He is. He will never let us down and He will help us to forgive others and heal our father wounds and wounds in general. I liked how the film invited watchers to come along side and watchers will be able to connect with at least one part of someone’s story in this film. It is also a call for fathers to step up and to help their daughter’s to be affirmed and to be loved.

He begins the book by sharing how he felt pressure from his parents to go to college and to get a degree and strive for a 401K. He eventually did go and dropped out and wound up holding up a cardboard sign asking for money. He did end up bouncing back and got a better job and became a youth pastor. He explained how he felt less than and he didn’t belong at the table during a conference. He thought he needed to be pushed aside. He shared how we all need to see who we are and realize what we bring to the table. Our table displays our purpose in life and what we are meant to do here.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Everyday is a book that contains a year worth of simple ways to embrace the good life and build a life you will be proud of. We can all learn to not overthink and to not sweat the small things that doesn’t matter in the long run. Some of the topics included backstabbing, recognize patterns of behavior, find a mentor, accept that people are always going to be mad at you, quiet the mind, learn to delegate, and much more. This book is a great resource to use as a daily devotional.
One of the days discussed will it matter a year from now. They shared how they like to play a game called time warp to see what truly matters. It’s a very easy way to see if what matters now will matter a year from now. It could be an argument, disagreement, a mistake, a lost opportunity, rejection, or heartache. A lot of the time what we choose to dwelt on isn’t going to make a difference a year from now. We may not even be able to recall the event. It can provide you with a fresh preceptive.
I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is tired of focusing on the wrong things and sweating the things that don’t matter. We are all guilty of getting worked up over things that we can’t even change, but we like to believe that we can. If we think about it enough and try then just maybe it will change for the better. I loved the principles and readers could greatly see their lives change if they would just follow the lessons enclosed in this book.
