Your New Now: Finding Strength and Wisdom When You Feel Stuck Where You Are

I loved this book! It is well written and could definitely connect to each chapter. It was an easy read. I enjoyed how each chapter was organized as well as the end of chapter practical application with journaling ideas and questions. I highlighted SO much throughout this book and look forward to rereading when it will apply and support me through a different season. Suggested this book to many friends.

I have read several of Nicki's books and even had the pleasure of hearing her speak at my church. Her messages never disappoint. I have always loved how she writes; its like hearing from a friend. I love how she give such practical applications that you can immediately apply to your own life to help you grow in your faith. This book is no different. It is filled with knowledge and tools that the reader can use. I also love the Bible Study questions she includes in it.Nicki's definitions of transitional seasons and supporting Biblical evidence from the life of Moses are easy to understand and many times affirmed several things I have gone through in my own life. I am currently in a season of seperation, which usually comes along with negative feelings of fear, anger, and lonliness. While this has been true from me, Nicki comes at this season with not just affirmation for those feelings but with much needed hope. She reminded me that this season is also a chance to go deeper into my relationship with God because he is all I need. "So, what often looks like isolation to us can really be an invitation into a deeper place with Him (God)." This new perspective give me hope and a focus during this difficult time.I am incredibly thankful for the message of this book and the impact its had on my own life. I can see myself revisiting this book as my life seasons change. I look forward to continuing to glean more from it over the years to come.

If you are experiencing or have ever experienced a time where you didn't quite understand all that was going on in your life; you need this book. I really learned a lot about the different transitions that we may encounter in this life and there may be times that we experience more than one at a time. Within each season of transition, Nicki uses examples of the life of Moses to demonstrate how we all go through seasons of transition. There are so many times that I could see how I could apply the information within this book to my life. It was medicine for my soul.My favorite part of this book was about the well. Nicki discusses how we need to keep sitting at the well. We need to keep looking for God in the ordinary and keep listening with expectation for His voice. He will call you into the next place of your life.I was stuck in a very negative mindset prior to reading this book. I learned how to embrace the season I am in and look for lessons while I am in that season. Words within this book transformed my way of thinking. The one that lit a fire within me was "The slow sculpting of our souls is something to be sacredly held".If your tired of feeling discouraged and are ready to change your mindset I believe this book will help.

This book has lead me to look back and assess on which stage of transition am I at the moment. Learning a lot about each stage and knowing where I am, now I can move on to the next season and start all over again feeling a bit more equipped and encouraged by the examples we found studying Moses' life side by side with these stages of transition. Nicki is such a good writer, simple and basic premise but she leads the reader to really dig deeper in God's Word. Thanks too Nicki for including the Bible Study at the end of every chapter, I love that!Finding out that I am in the "finished" stage of transition season, I am reminded through this book that - "Becoming surrendered to a season that is finished doesn't mean we stop being available to be used by God" because "He (God) will keep using what we've got"!I love what this book has taught me, and I would love you to dig into this too and find out how finding where you are in the transition stage can help you find strength and wisdom to keep going and not feel stuck so you can find "YOUR NEW NOW"!

I always learn something new or thought-provoking when I pick up a book by Nicki Koziarz. I have wanted to read Your New Now: Finding Strength and Wisdom When You Feel Stuck Where You Are since it came out earlier this year.(this book) "It's about what we need to learn in the here and now. It's about finding strength, wisdom, and hope for the current space you find your soul settling into."Your New Now: Finding Strength and Wisdom When You Feel Stuck Where You Are discusses the four transitional seasons in life. Koziarz has a quiz you can take to see which season (or seasons) you are currently in. She also lists several signs to help you identify each season. Taking the quiz before starting the book can help you to appreciate the information even more. Koziarz offers helpful suggestions on how to overcome the challenges each season presents."Transitions in life don't have to break us, make us gain fifteen pounds of stress weight, or cause us to lose who we were before the transition hit."Koziarz was speaking to my heart in this book. I am in several seasons of transition, and while it can feel lonely, it helps to know that others are walking through the season as well. Koziarz speaks with an authentic, conversational tone, making this an easy read.

This female American author considers the life of Moses in the Bible, from a tiny baby under threat of death along with thousands of other babies, placed by his mother and sister in a floating cradle on the nearby River planning to attract the attention of a Royal Princess who might rescue him.And from there Moses life unfolds…….The author examines his experiences and aligns Moses’ life events with peoples’ lives today in the 21st century.She offers the potential of more study, which in turn aids the reader to consider life events further.

This book is phenomenal! The relatability, the wisdom, the Bible study - exactly what you need when God has you in a season of transition. I felt so season 🩵
