MY REVIEW:

I have read several books by Tricia Goyer and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. The Memory Jar is no different.

I love to save mementos, little things to remember people or events by. I don’t keep them in a jar, though. Just all over the house. lol So I could relate to Sarah and her love of mementos. Sarah keeps mementos that remind her of painful memories, not just happy ones. These painful memories are told as flashback scenes while Sarah is looking at items from her jar. These scenes flow well with the story.

The Memory Jar has quite a different setting from other Amish books I’ve read.  The Memory Jar is set in a small town that grows by 30-40 young Amish men every spring. They move there and stay for the six months preceding hunting season so they have resident status, since only residents can obtain a hunting license.

While the young men are waiting to go hunting, many young women of the town are doing some hunting of their own. For husbands. Sarah is not looking for a husband, though, and has a hard time letting a certain young man get closer to her. She has too many painful memories to make room for new, good memories. Finally, finally, Sarah is able to set aside some of her most painful memories, while making new memories and adding new items to her memory jar. All with the help of her new beau.

The Memory Jar is a great read if your reading Amish fiction for the first time, or whether your already an Amish fiction and Tricia Goyer fan.

You know Ruth’s story. Now meet her in person. And prepare to be changed.

Walk with Ruth as she travels from Moab to Bethlehem, certain of her calling, yet uncertain of her future. Hold Naomi’s hand and watch love put the pieces of her broken life back together. And hang out with Boaz, their kinsman-redeemer, who blesses both women and honors God, big time.

With best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs by your side, you’ll tarry in the corners of their ancient houses, listen to their conversations, and consider every word of every verse until you can say, “Itotally get the book of Ruth. And I see what God is trying to teach me through this rags-to-riches redemption story—he has a plan for my life.”

Girl, does he ever!

Think of it as time travel without gimmicks, gizmos, or a DeLorean: a novel approach to Bible study that leaps from past to present, gleaning timeless truths that speak to the heart.

I have loved every book I have read by Liz Curtis Higgs. Both Fiction and non-fiction. The Girl’s Still Got It is no exception. I was really looking forward to reading this book, and I was not disappointed.

I love the way the author explains the Bible verses. She takes her time going through the verse, sometimes one word at a time. Not only does she explain each verse, she goes back to the original Hebrew to find the correct definition of a word. That is something I think is a must in a Bible study.

While The Girl’s Still Got It is an entertaining book, it is also a Bible study. I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Girl’s Still Got It and learned a lot from it.

I highly recommend The Girl’s Still Got It if you like reading Liz Curtis Higg’s books, love the book of Ruth, or want to learn more about Ruth.
