Are all my books going to have 5 stars? I don't think so. But this book I return to over and over. I love how she gives suggested reading, music, exercises for your life. Some people don't get it, but those who do, always try to live more of a fresh brewed life. And there are coffee recipes, too. Can't go wrong with coffee and recipes!

This is one of my favorite devotion books ... I've read it a couple of times, and think it's time for me to begin using it again, as it's been a while. I just read a chapter or two each day and ponder the thoughts that help me live up to my own potential.
This book is my favorite non-fiction book ever. It is written with honesty and candor and is absolutely brilliant and clever. Changed my outlook on seeking God's plan for me.
This is another book of Nicole Johnson's that I've read over and over again, I love it and I hope others will as well..
This is a very good book about christian life. A good learning tool for all christians.
While this book motivated me a great deal in creative and journaling ways, there were some things that I just felt unsure about. I couldn't pin point it but there seemed to be some influences that were completely unbiblical. Also, this constant, almost worshipful talk of coffee got old for me. I know that was the theme of the title but it still seemed to be too big of a deal.

I gave up 2/3 of the way through. I picked this up from McKay's for $.75 after seeing it quoted in another book that I enjoyed. I feel like the cheese factor was too high, this was too specifically for married women, and there were too many other books I was really excited about reading to waste my time finishing this one. My favorite parts of the book might have been the quotes from other people.
Read this for my women's group. Probably the best book I've read in a group setting. The questions and suggestions to "walk the words" were very inspiring and motivating for me.
This is a FABULOUS personal Bible study, a book to sit down with a journal and a cup of tea. While doing this 9 week/9 day/9 month study, I came to many personal insights as to who I am and what I want to change or improve about myself. Johnson's style of writing is so refreshing and very thought provoking, yet easy to relate to.
It has been awhile since I've read a heavily evangelical book, so some of her preachy-moments were annoyingly uncomfortable. However, I really appreciated her vulnerability and there were various parts of the book that had me laughing out loud.
Although I am not a coffee drinker, the principles in this book were very relevant to me. I will be using this book for "directed journaling" in the future.
I read this book a long time but for some reason it has stuck with me. I really enjoy Nicole Johnson. She's witty and charming and cozy.
Like sharing a cup of coffee with a friend. Refreshing, relaxing, intimate.
Love this, love this, love this!

I really like it so far!
great read--the author separates life as a woman into 9 different categories and how our relationship with God influences all of the different aspects of our lives, and how to wake ourselves up to real life, real adventure
Great book!

“God wants to dance with us. The goal of dancing is NOT to learn the steps. The goal of dancing is to enjoy your partner. We learn the steps but only so we don't have to look down at our feet. We are free to look into the eyes of the one we love.”
