Although I have yet to read the book, “Eat, Pray, and Love” I did see the movie and really enjoyed it.  Many friends and family members who have read the book also encouraged me to do so, stating that it goes into many more details and explanations that were difficult to depict on film. In any event, watching the movie generated some of my own ideas about how I, as a Christian, can incorporate some of these great disciplines in my own life. I left the theater thinking that even if I (or others)  had the luxury of taking a year-long excursion to far off places, it really isn’t necessary to learn the life lessons so eloquently depicted on the author’s journey.

I believe that we can incorporate the principles of Eat, Pray, and Love in our everyday life and learn to live more purposely and authentically from this day forward. Whether you are a Christian, or of any other faith, these life lessons can benefit us all. So, how can we Eat, Pray, and Love within the circumstances that we find ourselves today? I’ll tell you now.


What’s Really Holding You Back?

Today I want to write a book review about a wonderful books that I am half way through and it is making a tremendous impact on my life.  The book is titled, What’s Really Holding You Back? and it is written by Valorie Burton, highly sought after Christian Life Coach and author of several other popular titles.

I purchased this book at an estate sale about 6 months ago from a woman who I found out had died of cancer.  You could tell that this woman was a Christian from her extensive book library and I walked away with a box of books for about ten dollars. I mean these were the kinds of books that every Christian would dream for.

Well, within the pack was What’s Really Holding You Back? The book is broken down into 35 coaching sessions that help you to identify where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there.  Valerie helps you to pinpoint those many areas in our lives that obstruct our success in life like Are You Waiting for the Perfect Circumstances?, Are You Speaking Death Into Your Life, Have you Given Away Your Power, and Are You Treating the Symptom or the Problem?
