How To Fix a Broken Record: Book Review

Book Description

Your soul holds a massive record collection: melodies, rhythms, and bass lines. Memories that ask you to dance and memories that haunt you in a minor key. Lies that become soundtracks to your days while truths play too softly to be heard.

Spoken word poet Amena Brown’s broken records played messages about how she wasn’t worthy to be loved. How to Fix a Broken Record chronicles her journey of healing as she’s allowed the music of God’s love to replace the scratchy taunts of her past. From bad dates to marriage lessons at Waffle House, from learning to love her hair to learning to love an unexpected season of life, from discovering the power of saying no and the freedom to say yes, Amena offers keep-it-real stories your soul can relate to.

The hurtful words of others and the failures of your past often determine what record you play the most in your mind. Those painful repetitions can become loud at the most inopportune time, keeping you from speaking up, pursuing your dreams, and growing closer to God.

Recognize the negative messages that play on repeat every day in your mind. Learn how to replace them with the truth that you are a beloved child of God. And discover how to laugh along the way as you find new joy in the beautiful music of your life.

Book Review

Amena Brown's journey of accepting herself and knowing who she is in Christ is a good, inspirational read. A few chapters like 'Searching for the Groove' and "Finding Your Voice' spoke to me. I felt like the author was conversing with her readers on real life-changing experiences. For those seeking some healing and breakthrough answers, persevere through the pages on how to fix a broken record.

4 stars!

Book Review: Ack!

First, I want to let all my readers know that I am back online and excited to be joining the blogging network once again. Where have I been, you ask? Well, the Lilac fire caused us to evacuate for 4 days and then we returned home for our Christmas miracle! Our home is still standing!

Beginning a somewhat normal routine again, I reached for my copy of an 18-page paperback children's and delightfully embraced the message of the book! I can't wait to share it with you!!


Just a quick note to let you know that you can get 3 formats of Ack! on Amazon!

So, what's the book about?

Tired of feeling "blah", tired, or worn out throughout your day?

Desire a life with less worry, fear, and overwhelm? Dream of finally having an end to pesky, "grumpy day" feelings and emotions? There's a "little known" secret to finding happiness in today's "on the go" existence.

In ACK!, the author guides us through an “easy to follow" journey to living a more fun, engaging, and joy-filled life. If you're looking for the ultimate shortcut on how to turn bad days into good days, then this is the perfect roadmap to unlocking untapped energy, connection, and love.

My Thoughts

I think we all know that we have been given the opportunity to make choices in life. Sometimes we choose good ones and often we find ourselves saying, "Oops, why did I choose that?" Often we spiral down with our not-so-good attitudes and a friend arrives to show us our blind spots. In Cory's book, I have found the author's message to be simple, yet powerful with an endless rippling effect! Get the book today! It is a positive approach to catching our runaway negative thoughts and focusing on all that is good. Enjoy and experience the sunny side of life. Cory will introduce you to how to make lemonade when life throws lemons our way. Highly recommend the book for all ages! I have 5 grandchildren and 2 grown daughters. We focus on our attitude and perspective. This one is a keeper, for sure!

5/5 stars!! Ack!

Thanks, Cory for the opportunity. Best wishes and much success!

Wishing all my readers a warm "Merry Christmas!"
