Happily not for the Legalist

What a delightful listen! Mandy did a stellar job narrating her book. People who really love Jesus will beautifully spill Jesus on everything they touch. Such is the case with this title. I’m not a mother yet but I do plan to be someday soon. So I appreciated the portions on parenting. I needed to hear someone talk about having fun with it because I’ve had this mindset that my fun will end when my husband and I decide to step into the roles of parents. An unfounded fear. This was a lovely reminder that every goal oriented person needs infused into their lives so we don’t let life pass us by or miss out on the moment.

deeper than just fun

this is an unexpectedly deep book. it hit me in places that i wasnt expecting by a book on fun.

You need this book in your life!

A must read for anyone

Don’t let the beautiful woman on a pink cover fool you-this book is for EVERYONE! I laughed so hard I peed, I cried so hard my husband questioned if I was ok. I enjoyed it from the first few minutes and couldn’t stop listening. Mandy’s stories are surprising, sometimes outrageous, funny, personal, heart warming & life-changing. Stop thinking about getting this book and just click buy. You won’t regret it. Start having more fun right now.

Such freedom!

This book reminded me how free I truly am in Christ. I gotta read it again, maybe every year so I don’t forget! Lit up!
I enjoyed the author’s suggestions at the end of chapters on how to apply this freedom and be more intentional in having fun. Truly a book I would recommend and share with others. Thanks sweet lady for sharing the fun of the gospel with such transparency. When I came to the Lord Jesus I asked Him one thing. I never wanted to be bored. And I have NEVER been! He has been my All in All, never a boring moment with Jesus. Haha! Blessings!
