Without further ado, here is a countdown of my Top 10 Albums of 2014.

Charis Book Review

***THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ***

While browsing through the Christian bookstore, the cover of Charis caught my eye. I had no clue what it was about, I simply liked the cover. After flipping through it a bit I was really intrigued and wanted to check it out. So I reached out to Preston to see if I could review the book... and here we are!


After I received the book I dove right in, excited to get started reading it (I actually read the book within 2 days!). Once I really dove into the book, I knew I was in for a ride, because in the very first chapter Preston brings up the story of Jeffery Dahmer. Now I won't go all into detail of the story and the lesson along with it, because I really want you to just buy the book! However, I will tell you that from chapter one, within the first couple pages even, I knew Preston wasn't playing games and this wasn't just another book about Grace.


Throughout Charis Preston takes stories from the old testament (you know that dusty, confusing, beginning half of your Bible) and points out how much it is all soaked with God's grace and His love. I have always struggled with the old testament because it's not all sunshine and rainbows (well there is that one rainbow), but there is some tough stuff in the old testament. Reading this book has helped me to look for the grace in the old testament and it is everywhere!
