Open your eyes to the way that God sees you and awaken your boldness to effect change in the world by living out the truth of who God says you are with confidence.

Power Moves Book Review

This is not your typical self help book. Power moves will help you with all aspects of your life. It helps with your personal life – your confidence and who you want to be, your relationships with those in your life – personally, and professionally, and your relationship with Christ.

Power Moves starts with expectations. The ones we have, and the ones others have of us. This is something that I have struggled with personally. Here are a few things that spoke to me.

“Have you ever considered why the responsibility we have to our wellness is the first thing we’re willing to sacrifice when prioritizing expectation?”

“God won’t give you an assignment that He will not empower you to accomplish. Who would you be if you leaned into that?”

“When you deem yourself as worthy, powerful, intelligent, and valuable, you don’t easily cave in to the pressure of who other people believe you should be.”

The majority of the pages in this book have little notes to emphasis an important piece of information contained on the page. The font and the arrangement of the pages, makes this book easy on the eyes to read.

At the end of every chapter, there is Flip the Switch. A one to two page feature that contains three sections. Marinate, Activate, Pray. Marinate is the term the author uses for thinking about, meditating, etc. This has one or two questions to really get you thinking about what you learned in this chapter. The Activate section has ways that you can act on what you learned. The Pray section features a simple prayer to teach us how to pray about what we learned as we apply it to our lives.

A few more quotes from the book that really stood out to me….

“True power is not about competing with anyone else. It is daring to truly master yourself.”

“When you refuse to live within the box that people have relegated you to, you force relationships that are as fluid as the power you flow in.”

“Real power can only exist when we flow in who God has called us to be.”

Highly Recommend

I enjoyed reading Power Moves. I have reached a stage in my life where I have questioned where I am in different areas, and where I want to be. This book has helped me to clarify several things. I loved that Power Moves is not your typical self help book, it really does help in all areas of life, faith, and relationships. I learned several ways to help me become more authentic. To help me become who God wants me to be.

“The fear of change is no longer allowed to hold you hostage.”

I highly recommend Power Moves. Especially, if you, like my, want to dig deeper into who we are in Christ. And how to walk that out in our personal, and professional lives.

I find that reading Christian living books and personal growth books really help my walk with God. Seen Secure Free – How a Life Hidden with Christ Strengthens and Transforms You sounded like the perfect next book for me to read.

About the Book

In a world that screams, “Be seen! Be known!” and often measures value by likes, shares and follows, it’s easy to feel invisible, unheard, unloved. But God’s Word offers a powerful and freeing counternarrative: true treasure is actually found in the “hidden” life of Christ.

Somewhere along the way, we’ve confused our level of visibility with our value. We’ve mixed up fame with fruitfulness. We’ve equated exposure with excellence.

But what if we stopped trying so hard to be seen, recognized, and affirmed by the world around us? What if there’s a different way of living altogether?

In “Seen Secure Free,” Allison Allen delves into Colossians 3:3, reminding us of the profound truth that our lives are hidden with Christ in God. Through captivating insights drawn from nature, history, and Scripture, she invites readers to embrace a different way of living—one that transcends the relentless pursuit of recognition and applause from the world.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll discover within the pages of this transformative book:

Let go of the pressure to be recognized and praised by others;

Release the resentment that comes from feeling unseen or misunderstood;

Find contentment in a loving God who knows you deeply;

Find security in a powerful God who establishes your identity, worth, and purpose;

Reset your motivations and goals to align with his kingdom; and

Feel freed to pursue new adventures with Jesus

Seen Secure Free

In Seen Secure Free, Allison Allen combines the history of the Outer Banks, with stories of her time on the beaches there, to help us learn to see, and focus on, what God is doing in our lives.

We learn that times of being hidden, concealment, are a time of preparation. God sees us.

“Waiting time is Christ is never wasted time.” page 71

In the Seen section of the book, the author discusses social media. Are we looking for likes and shares to be seen. Or are we looking to God first.

In Secure, the author points out our roots. Where are our roots? We need to examine, and re-examine, where we have planted our roots. So when He calls us forward to do something, we can go boldly, because we know that our roots are anchored in God.

“The longer I walk with Jesus, the more I believe with all my heart that He makes far more use of my consecrated weakness than He does of my so called strengths.” page 165

In the Free section, we learn that because God sees us, and we are secure with our roots in Him, we are free. We are free because he goes before us in every life situation, the good, the bad, the big, and the small.

“We matter to the One who matters – who sees us, secures, us, and ultimately frees us – that is more than enough.” page 186

Seen Secure Free Book Review

I have loved reading Seen Secure Free. I really love the last paragraph of the book.

“Lean into these life-changing gifts, friend. And keep looking up to the One who sees you as you walk the ocean’s edge all the way home.” page 228

Throughout the book, there are “Concealed Characters” sections. A Concealed Character is a person in the Bible that we don’t know much about. They may be unnamed, as One of Many Others, A Son of Korah, The Bent Woman. Or the Bible may mention them by name, without going into their whole story. The author uses each of these to help us see their story, what the characters may have seen or said, to help us see what the lessons in this book might look like in others lives.

I loved that each chapter of the book ended with a prayer. A prayer to help use learn, and apply to our lives, what was talked about in the chapter.

Seen Secure Free shows us just what the title says. That we are SEEN by God, that we can be SECURE in God, and that God sets us FREE. Free from what holds us down in this world, what the world says about us, so we can be who He wants us to be.
