Working on the preface that God keeps things he treasures in a box, similar to the one the author received when her Grandfather passed away, Leigh McLeroy, brings us a small inspirational book, full of descriptions of the things that she has imagined that God has treasured over the years.
An enjoyable book, with thirteen chapters of inspirational writing, describing the reasons that God would perhaps treasure these things she has used, for example the fig leaves that Adam and Ev More...

Do you know God's treasure? If you don't, you will after reading this amazing book by Leigh McLeroy.
Woven in the words of these pages are pieces of the Bible, glimpses of God's treasures. From collecting His very first treasure-Adam and Eve's first coverings to His scarlet robe stained crimson red by blood, to His most loved and precious treasure-us, His children.
Through the many examples McLeroy uses, they can be compared to instances of near similarity in the Bible, s More...

Each chapter is bite sized and easy to read, starting with an anecdotal story from the authors life in most cases then moving on to a time in the Bible where God interacted with our ancestors making the connection that He still interacts with us the same way today. While the book doesn't actually talk about the things God keeps as in items that God actually has, like the author's cigar box. Rather the book is about what God, invisible and non-physical, holds tight to; what He treasures. This is

I loved the concept of this book. It was based upon Leigh receiving an old cigar box of items, little trinkets, that her grandfather kept, which she received after he passed away. It talks about what the items we keep (or just remember) say about a person, about God. What would God keep is the question asked. In Treasured, Leigh does her best at trying to answer this question and bring it to an every day level. I really enjoy the study guide in the back of the book because it allows the reader t

Treasured, by Leigh McLeroy, is a book about finding God in everyday things. From the simple, routine checkout lines of grocery stores to the harrowing apartment fire, God is there in everything. Leigh offers personal stories and anecdotes from her own life to the reader, inviting them to learn with her. She shares her pains and her joys and how she sees God in them all.
This book serves as a reminder that in everything we do with our lives, God is there, watching and weaving His wil More...

Treasured by Leigh McLeroy is an amazing book that poses the question: what would God keep in a treasure box as mementos of His love story with humanity? By focusing in on pivotal moments in the Bible, like the fig leaf, Abraham's knife, and Balaam's riding crop, she creates new understanding about who God is and just how much He loves us. It also adds subtext to each story making them richer and meaningful for today's readers. She takes everyday items and made them seem almost sacred because of

I'm still working my way through this book by one of my favorite authors. I love her honesty and passion for following Christ. McLeroy has a wonderful way of painting a picture with words, and has an artist's eye for beauty in all things, even the unlovely. If you haven't read anything by Leigh, I can't recommend her writing highly enough.
