She Did What She Could by Elisa Morgan - Reviewed

If you want to be encouraged, read this book. If you want to know how much you are loved by the Father, how precious you are to Christ, read this book. If you long to serve others in a way that is meaningful, read this book. Readers, this is a special gift of a book about how our lives are transformed through our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. This is a book about sharing what you have - whether it's a hug, a winter coat, a sympathetic ear or money for a medical need - when you are nudged by the Spirit to love others. I highly recommend this book and I am very thankful for the opportunity to share it with you!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

She Did What She Could: Five words of Jesus that will change your life by Elisa Morgan (Tyndale House Publishers)

Most of us care. We really do. We care about poverty and injustice, about orphans and the sick. And yet, weighed down by the everyday load of bringing home a paycheck, putting food on the table, and taking care of our family demands, we question our ability to make a difference. Bombarded by one celebrity help-the-world-athon after another, we shrug our shoulders in futility and do absolutely nothing. Enter SDWSC. Based on the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume in Mark 14, SDWSC provides overwhelmed, yet service-seeking, significance-starved readers a realistic response to the seemingly unmeetable needs around us.

Five letters. Unthinkable power.

Most of us care. We really do. We care about poverty and injustice, about orphans and the sick. And yet, weighed down by the everyday tasks of bringing home a paycheck, putting food on the table, and shuttling kids around, we question our ability to make a difference. Bombarded by one celebrity help-the-world-athon after another, we shrug our shoulders in futility and do absolutely nothing.
But what if we did . . .
Something?
Just one thing.
The thing that matters more than anything else in that one solitary moment.

What if we did just that?
What if?
