Book Review-Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings by Shari Zook

 

Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings by Shari Zook is a story of heartache through mothering a difficult child, giving up two precious foster children, an unspeakable betrayal and more. Her feelings are raw and she is honest about her battle with depression. But this is also a story of hope. Hope and trust in Jesus.

At the end of each chapter there is a section called Looking Inside which are questions to have the reader dig deeper into her own experiences from what was read. I didn't like the questions. Not because I don't like questions but rather they forced me to really think about my own feelings inadequacy as Christian wife and mother and struggles with  my own experience with depression.
One of the questions she asks is on fear.  From the 1st chapter: Place your hiding on a sliding scale, somewhere between nervousness about looking bad at one, and straight up terror at ten. Where are your particular places of fear? I'm going to be honest and say ten for me. But this review isn't about me.
If you are going to read this book I suggest you get a pretty journal for writing your thoughts and answers to the questions to what you've read.
 I plan on reading this again and getting a journal to record my thoughts

At the end of the book there are great resources for the topics Shari talks about in her book. Topics like foster care, spiritual healing, mental health resources and more.

I believe this book is for any woman regardless of age who is struggling spiritually, mentally and physically. 
Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings is available for pre-order on Amazon and will be released on July 6th.

I received a review ebook copy in exchange for my honest review.
