I had just read a devotion with those five words when I saw this little book sticking out of a shelf in a used bookstore. The book was just what I needed and went along well with the current Bible study I'm doing. The relief of thinking we're not meant to have to do it all, but to do what we can with what we have. I loved it!
A brief but impactful book focusing on the story Mary who washed Jesus' feet and his response. A great reminder that God has gifted us all in different ways, instilled various passions, and given a variety of opportunities. While the content isn't necessarily new, the approach and the life stories shared are encouraging. A great gift book for others.
Simple and short but a good, encouraging exposition into the story of the woman with the alabaster jar, and what it might mean for us today to do what we can.
I just loved this little book. I received this in the mail from my Mothers of Preschoolers organization (how I love to get a book in the mail!) and thoroughly enjoyed it. The first part of the book the author breaks down this simple sentence that Jesus spoke. He said "she did what she could" to his disciples as they criticized Mary for washing His feet with expensive perfume. I could have easily read over this statement and thought little about it. But it's amazing to understand what it meant in...
Inspirational. A quick read. All I need to remember about the book comes from the back cover: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?
I just finished reading this book and I want to begin my review with a question...okay...a series of questions.Have you ever watched a program on TV about a situation or group of people in some sort of need and just felt your heart breaking for them? Have you sat through a special speaker at your church or an event who reaches out to people who are sick or living in poverty beyond our comprehension? Have you walked away with a passion to help only to have it fizzle out when you realized how over...
This work was totally accessible. The message shared by the author is easily applicable to life as a Christian. Too often, I try to do way too much and am easily tired out and just physically unable to complete all I would like to complete. The words in this book speak to listening for where God is leading, doing the manageable tasks He has for you, and trusting Him for the bigger stuff.
I loved the beginning of this book and the whole idea of embracing and acting on what you can do is encouraging and liberating.
What an inspiring book!
I really liked this book and found it to be an inspirational book that provides motivation to "do what we can" to make a difference in the world and in people's lives. It emphasizes that our efforts do not have to huge and complicated to make a significant impact. We should pay attention to the opportunities we are given each day to lift others and "do what we can" no matter how seemingly insignificant.
A quick read that will encourage you in your own faith walk. Too often we make compassion difficult and complicated. This book looks at the simplicity of compassion by focusing you on what you could do with what you have right now at your disposal. It's beauty is in its simplicity. I don't consider this the end game for compassion but it is a decent starter. It can open the heart to the possibility of generosity which can usher in a generous spirit. The caveat here is that if this is not groundi...
She Did What She Could. Five very powerful words. Elisa Morgan uses these five little words to show all of us that it doesn't take grand gestures to accomplish what God wants us to do. First we need to give ourselves a break. Lay off of the self criticism. We are adequate enough to accomplish what God wants us to do. It doesn't have to be a big thing. Maybe just getting a meal for a homeless person. Giving a little extra tip for a waiter or waitress. Offering to do some simple task for someone i...
So often we think we aren't enough and that we can't really make a difference. This book has challenged me to make a difference where I can...even in something super small (like giving up a close parking space for someone else). I'm going to work on learning to listen more to that instinct from God about what I could do in my day to show love to someone else. This especially starts within my own home.
The concept is good...
Thought provoking and inspiring. Makes you question if YOU are really doing what you could.
Good concepts; poor delivery
“A relationship with Jesus results in a response.”This book shines the light on why we do what we do in our Chicktime chapters.
An excellent meditational guide, this little book is packed with a lot of good advice for living a good life and making a difference in the world. It is a Christian guide, but many of the principles of doing good and of helping others cross many religions.
Fast, thought-provoking read. Makes you want to go out and do something...big or small...just something!
Life Changing...
