Your New Now: Finding Strength and Wisdom When You Feel Stuck Where You Are by Nicki Koziarz: Book Review

  *Book received for consideration. All thoughts are my own.

In the space between no longer and not yet, you still belong somewhere.

It catches most of us by surprise. Life is going along until suddenly we find ourselves at the crossroads of what was and what is yet to be. This in-between space of transition often keeps us awake at night, asking questions like What am I supposed to do now? and Why do I feel so lost and alone? If a new direction doesn't come, it can feel like you're stuck in a cycle of purposeless days.

Bestselling author and Bible teacher Nicki Koziarz asked those same questions. Changes were coming in multiple areas of her life, and she struggled to navigate through them. But Nicki discovered how to find direction for today by understanding the types of seasons a transition can bring.

In Your New Now, readers will study Moses's life through the perspective of four transition seasons he experienced: development, separation, cultivation, and finished. With practical advice, relatable stories, and biblical wisdom, this book will help you:

● Discern which transition season you're in and learn how to overcome its challenges
● Stop feeling lost in life by discovering where you belong on the road between what was and what will be
● Protect your future by learning to utilize Scripture to fight fears of the unknown

Transitions start with something ending, and waiting for a new beginning can be agonizing. But you can learn to be confident and optimistic, even when life feels like it's paused in an unfamiliar now.

Nicki Koziarz (www.nickikoziarz.com) is a bestselling author and Bible teacher with Proverbs 31 Ministries. She speaks nationally and hosts her own podcast, Lessons from the Farm. Nicki, her husband, and their family run a small farm just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, they affectionately call The Fixer Upper Farm.

If there is one thing in life that never changes, it’s that life is always changing. And those moments of transition can be difficult to navigate at time. These seasons of change are nothing new though, everyone experiences them as far back in history as we can imagine. 

Your New Now seeks to help readers during the different seasons of their life. It takes a look at the seasons of Moses life, to relate those to the seasons that we all experience as well. I love all the biblical references, but it is also mixed with personal stories from the author. I feel like this really helps readers to see how these stories apply to them, but also can help to make them feel less alone in whatever they are going through as well. I think sometimes we all need that little reminder that we are not alone… and perhaps this book can be that for many. 

No matter what season you are in life, this book can offer some insight to help you through it.
