The Book You Need to Rekindle Your Creativity

2/14/2018

This is an unsponsored review post about "31 Day Create: Discover and Strengthen Your Creativity", by Jenny Randle. All opinions are mine.

If you follow me on social media, you know there are few things I love more than a new book. And when one of those is highly impactful, I consider it somewhat of a "responsibility" to share about it.

But beyond just sharing a pretty graphic from time to time, I thought it’d be fun to post an occasional blog review of my favorites. And I can't think of a better book to kick it off with than my friend Jenny Randle's latest book-- an interactive devotional to help you rekindle your creativity.

If you're like me and 77% of adults, you probably feel like your creativity has dwindled with age. And you'd be right. But where did we go wrong? And is there any hope to restore the creative genius that once was?

Jenny says, "Yes."

Listen, friends: As a person who's been "burned" by many sub-par devotionals, I'm not exaggerating when I say this one exceeded my expectations.

So get your Amazon Wish List ready and read more to learn why this book needs to be on your shelf.

Why You Need It

Studies show that 77% of adults feel like they’ve lost their creativity. Are you one of them? I was.

As sons and daughter of the Creator, we were created to create, but many of us find ourselves feeling stifled. Jenny Randle approaches this real-life dilemma from a sound Biblical perspective, offering practical advice and encouragement to help you revive and nurture your God-given creativity in just 15-20 minutes a day for 31 days.

Why You'll Love It

1. It's spit-your-coffee-out funny. Like really funny.

via GIPHY

From her story about “Fancy Dude”, to her reference of “sinking like Katy Perry’s left shark in the super bowl”, Jenny is HIL-AR-I-OUS. Be warned that you may bust out laughing uncontrollably at any given page turn.

My favorite has to be her failed attempt at a once-in-a-lifetime shot to break into “the voiceover career I didn’t even know I wanted” but instead… “sounded more like a squeaky Bart Simpson who just finished drinking four cups of coffee, then got mauled by bears.” (pg. 152)

2. It's a calorie-free treat.

via GIPHY

I’m the kind of gal that’s motivated by rewards (read: chocolate and naps). This book didn’t feel like work, it felt like a treat. The “challenges” were fun and served as sort of a “brain break” in the middle of my otherwise routine day.

3. It's packed with truth.

via GIPHY

I love encouragement. I love it more when there’s substance to it—meaning it’s rooted in the truth of God's Word.

Imagine my delight to discover that "31 Day Create" is packed with Scripture! From the Biblical foundations of creativity, to overcoming fear and setting healthy boundaries, to walking out your calling, Jenny gives creatives a sound guidebook for the journey.

My "Aha" Moment

“You are a proven miracle and a masterpiece… so own it! Not in an arrogant way, but in a way that glorifies God.

You have unique gifts, and the world needs your perspective, passion, and your talent. Embracing your uniqueness, whether it’s your smarts, quirkiness or aspirations, can help you understand your role as a child of God.”

–Day 21, page 135

The Bottom Line

This book gets 5 out of 5 sticky gold stars from me. As a gal who’s trudged my way through many devotionals over the years, this one was sheer delight from beginning to end. Jenny Randle is playing an integral role in pointing creatives to the freedom God intended for them to walk in.
