Even when faced with anxiety and difficult circumstances, faith in God provides comfort and joy. How then, during terrible times, do we find ourselves putting our love, devotion, and confidence in things other than God? Is it because many view God as an angry deity, demanding and frequently irritated with us? Is this the connection God desires to have with his people? Dr. Catherine Braswell's 52 Weeks of Practical Applications to Biblical Principles answers these important concerns in resourceful, clearly defined lessons that will shed new light on how believers understand God's word. This book will also teach the reader how to overcome temptation, join with other believers, and use what they learn from the teachings of the scriptures in their daily lives.

Each portion of the book introduced well-organized nuggets of information. Walking in the Joy of the Lord was my favorite. In this section, Dr. Catherine Braswell delves deeper into the distinction between joy and happiness, demonstrating how spiritual joy generates a spiritual transformation in our behavior that radiates to an outward exhibition that others will notice. My second favorite section was What Am I Doing With My Talents? In this, the author reaffirms the importance of using your talents with humility, love, and respect for others so that God will be exalted in whatever we do as Christians. I appreciated how the author built her thoughts around biblical scriptures. This was soul-restoring to me. Although 52 Weeks of Practical Applications to Biblical Principles is written from a Christian perspective, I found it to be a book that readers of any faith can read because it does not contradict the principles of any religious institution. This is the aspect that I enjoyed the most. I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn more about the life God has planned for them.
