Whitney Smith said: " A MUST READ! Uncomplicate It is written for you... (yes, you!): followers of Jesus, those questioning their walk the Lord, those who may be curious about Christ for the first time, or those who may have drifted away from their path.

Hosanna's writing A MUST READ! Uncomplicate It is written for you... (yes, you!): followers of Jesus, those questioning their walk the Lord, those who may be curious about Christ for the first time, or those who may have drifted away from their path.

Hosanna's writing is grounded in God's Word, is Holy Spirit driven, and her realness and empathy make it such a blessing to read! I love her style of writing and find myself laughing out loud or feeling a hug through the words on the pages. She truly is a Light who wants people to know Jesus' perfect love. No matter where you are today, you can take something away from Uncomplicate It.

I have been in and out of church since I was a little girl, but now at 42 I have found myself 4 years into a real relationship with Jesus. Some days I feel Him so close, and some days, I feel like I am distracted, too busy, or not enough. Uncomplicate It has been a literal answered prayer and reminder to how God fearfully and wonderfully made me - all of me!! - even those parts that may seem like roadblocks to connecting with God or things that set me apart from others.

The enemy would like nothing more than to isolate us to push us farther from our Abba Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. But God! Uncomplicate It, along with prayer, has shown me that my personality differences, experiences...the highs and lows, the seasons of life (my soil) ...they are what give me my unique lens in which to view this world and shape my walk with Jesus (as He has always intended!) And the things that bring me joy, that is where I find God, I feel Him with me, and grow in my walk. All of it, with a little shift in my perspective and heart, can be shortcuts to a closer relationship with Jesus, and how I can innately share His Love, Grace, and Light with the world. Uncomplicate It is a tool to help you do that too!

Every time I picked up the book I found myself literally breathing easier, feeling hopeful and having joy in this season again (newly married, a Mama, a Celebrate Recovery leader, a full time paralegal...etc etc). Instead of feeling not enough, or too busy, the words on these pages have helped me realize that God has placed me in these roles for his will to be done, and my life is full (what a blessing!). Full of answered prayers and whispers that my heart once longed for. Praise and Glory to God, Jehovah Jireh.

Another favorite part of my journey through Uncomplicate It was the chapter on Grief. I lost my father to suicide several years ago. Hosanna, and those that she interviewed, showed me that I am not alone in how I have experienced and continue to process my grief, and more importantly, a gentle reminder that grief can be a catalyst to grow in my relationship with the Lord, prayer life, and with my family in Christ. Jehovah Nissi, my refuge and strength.

I will continue sharing my favorite parts of Uncomplicate It with my friends in our community, those in my church, and with my brothers and sisters in Christ. I look forward to reading it with a small group this year and feel like this book ignited a much needed heart shift about how God created me, and in knowing that, how to walk out a real relationship with Jesus.

Thank you Hosanna for your transparency and heart on the pages of Uncomplicate It. Thank you for your faithfulness as a follower of Christ and your dedication to testify, encourage, and lead others in this dark world to the Love and Light of Jesus. Well done!

If you made it this far, do yourself a huge favor and buy a copy of Uncomplicate It. And make the time to read it. Walking with our Lord was never meant to be complicated! Jesus' Love is pursuing you... He is full of grace and mercy, and wants to be with you exactly where you (and who you are!) today. ❤️ ✝️ ...more "
