for the Hard Days...


I have days... hard days... just like anyone else. 
That is my life, probably your's too.

"So pull up a chair if you're feeling tired, if you're discouraged, or if you just feel a little empty inside." Holley

Holley Gerth, author of the book

What Your Heart Needs for the Hard Days


is an easy writer to follow.  A couple of weeks ago, I received her new Book and began reading it that night. I kept it on my night stand and began reading it before I went to sleep. 

After the first few days, I found myself also picking it up and reading it in the morning. I enjoyed it. I looked forward to each new chapter. I even went back and re-read a chapter or two, just because I enjoyed them. My days seemed to be clearer, maybe a little brighter. I looked forward to my time with this book.

Chapter 18 is just one of my many favorites. It begins with:

She stands alone after the service ends".  I walk up next to her and gently ask "How are you?".  She answers "It is well with my Soul".  I nod because I know she is telling the truth. This isn't a cliche offered  like a Band-aid to protect her heart. She means it.


What Your Heart Needs for the Hard Days has 52 entries or chapters. Each chapter ends with a prayer with a few lines for you to journal your thoughts.

There is also space for you to journal what you are hearing. Yes, that is right, a space for you to journal what YOU ARE hearing. I found that challenging, because at first I didn't quite understand. But after I had tried it a couple of times, I realized how much I had learned about myself just by thinking about what I was hearing. 

What Your Heart Needs for the Hard Days, by Holley Gerth is available for purchase on September 2, for $13.99. You may purchase it on Amazon.com in both hardback or Kindle Reader versions. It is published by Revelle Books, a great company with a long history of good books.


It is a great gift idea especially with the holidays fast approaching. I hope you will order it and get one for yourself. I honestly think anyone who reads this book will enjoy it and find it a blessing of words in their everyday life.

Holley has written several other books and they are also available. You can follow Holley Gerth on facebook, twitter, instagram, google+, pinterest and email. Just go to her website and check her out!
