While, I'll typically share a book to inspire you on Mondays, this is an extra book to inspire you today. I'll look forward to sharing my regular book review tomorrow.
As I started this blog post, I thought of the easy blog review, where I tell you a bit about the book and thought I thought more about Shawn's message. Winning Balance is a great book that Shawn Johnson came out with earlier in 2012 and I was surprised to see it in my local Christian bookstore. She's been back in the news showing her athleticism and grace on Dancing with the Stars. As the weeks past, I realize that I didn't know much about Shawn outside of the obvious.
Winning Balance is a great book it tells her story in bite size pieces with a take-away lesson she’s learned. While many would ask, what she could contribute at such a young age, but because of her faith, her relentless pursuit of her dream, and her amazing family that kept have her grounded, her story is more than worth reading. This book will touch your heart and will remind us that’s there so much more to our star athletes than what we see on the gymnastics floor or the basketball court and remind us how we can stay the course when it comes to our own lives. With the holiday season in full swing, am I balancing everything and not forgetting the important things this holiday season, or am I wrapped up in the trimmings that don't really matter.
You can find Winning Balance at your local Christian bookstore or anywhere you get your favorite books, I would get it today.
I received the galley and cover image courtesy of the publisher and NetGalley; the opinions are all mine, and I hope they help you find something that will inspire or touch you or your family.
