The Luckiest Unlucky Person I Know

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: The Luckiest Unlucky Person I Know 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Kristin Smith ✍️

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“The Luckiest Unlucky Person I Know” written by the author Kristin Smith Westbrook is a must read memoir. This is a practical guidebook that offers practical exercises to find clarity and balance in the face of adversity. Even if you are suffering from a chronic disease, trauma or grief this book inspires you to approach life by being optimistic.

Kristin was diagnosed with a cyst in her breast. She never imagined herself having chemotherapy, joining the peer support group meeting, losing her hair, going through miscarriages, etc. The author has mentioned how she doesn’t want cancer to be a part of her. So, she always says that she lives with metastatic breast cancer. When Kristin was diagnosed with viral meningitis caused by West Nile, she realized that worry doesn’t provide her any solution.

Most of the stress comes from our thoughts about the future and thoughts about the past. If we start living in the present moment, we can enjoy life more. I loved the Star System Meditation. Affirmations play an important role in our life. The author has suggested a few of them like I am enough, I am love, I am peace, etc. ‘Letter from the future’ is my favorite from the book.

Through this memoir, the author wants us to approach challenges and adversities with humor, gratitude, etc. I appreciate the author’s strength and resilience to inspire others after so many adversities in her life. The tips mentioned in this book will help you to live a happy life full of gratitude. This book is worth reading. I strongly recommend it to everyone, especially to those who are struggling currently.

Find out by reading this book what happens next. This book takes the readers into the vast universe and I had a great adventure along with the characters. The backdrop setting is done nicely by the author. The story is well paced and there weren’t any dull moments in the book.

Even though it’s the second book in the series, one could enjoy it as a standalone book.

.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“The Value of the Diamond: A Jim Caldwell Story” written by the author Keith H. Adkins is the third book in ‘The Jim Caldwell Trilogy’. The story begins with the people talking about Jim Caldwell, how he was hung but God raised him from death, and freed him from the diamond mine that served as his tomb. He was raised up to heaven by God.

Pedro kept on gathering more believers. He taught about the teachings of Jim Caldwell to people. He asked them to be baptized so people can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Once when Pedro was at the church, he healed a lame man. Pedro told people how after Jim’s death, the power was now theirs to continue. Pedro was sent to Tucson as some people haven’t received the Holy Spirit after being baptized. Read this story to know what will happen when a man named Pablo came initially to inflict harm but then he had a change of heart and started to teach people about the teachings of Jim Caldwell.

Many things were happening in Tucson at that time. Read this book to know about Pablo and his Road to Tucson experience. The author has used good vocabulary in this book. The title of the book is suitable and the cover photo is nice. I appreciate how strong the disciples were. This is the final book of The Jim Caldwell Trilogy and I had a great time reading this book.
