For a while now I have been following Jeremy and Audrey Roloff on social media. I watched an episode of Little People, Big World one day and found myself fascinated with Jeremy and Audrey. They just seemed so authentic and real and completely okay with who they are. So I started following them, and soon loved them even more. Especially when I saw, as far as I can tell from IG of course, how they raised there beautiful baby girl. I’m not religious and I didn’t grow up reading the bible (but I’ve been trying to read it for a while now) but I’ve been intrigued by faith and religion all my life. And especially the way Jeremy and Audrey talk about being a Christen, makes me feel like maybe I should find out more about God and his word. So when I saw that they wrote a book ‘A Love Letter Life’ I knew that was a book that I wanted to read.
When Jeremy and Audrey asked for people to join there Launch teams, to help promote there book, I was sure I wouldn’t be picked since I life in The Netherlands. You wouldn’t believe how happy I was when I found out I was picked to join one of the teams called Love Letter Spreaders. (BTW we won first place from all the Launch Teams :D:D) And soon I began reading the first chapters of the book. I was immediately hooked and knew this book was not only good, but life changing. Jeremy and Audrey have a way of writing that engages and inspires there readers from the very first page and I just didn’t want to stop reading.
Luckily for me I didn’t have to wait long to read the complete book. And I started reading until I finished the whole book. Now.. as book blogger I read a lot of books. Good and sometimes bad ones! I mostly read Romance novels at the moment, but this book is my absolute favorite read of 2019 so far. The writing is easy to follow and fun to read. And I think what makes their story so good, is that it isn’t perfect. It has its flaws and therefor feels real. Jeremy and Audrey are honest in there book. They talk about their struggles and how they work hard to be intentional in their marriage. They try, and they mess up. How brave is it to be so honest nowadays?! Especially on social media where people can be so unkind and downright rude. But they still wrote this book hoping to inspire people.. Well, in my case they succeeded!
Since I haven’t been raised religiously I found there faith in God and each other so inspiring and just beautiful. It almost makes me feel like I’m missing out in life. That life is somehow more worthwhile and beautiful as a Christen. That doesn’t mean I’m suddenly a religious person, but it definitely makes me think. And that, I think is one of the many beautiful things about this book. It inspires you to want and think more!
Reading this book also doesn’t only make me want to work harder to have a more intentional marriage with my husband, but also makes me want to learn more about faith and religion. I feel inspired to do more with my life and work harder in my marriage. So my husband and I also ordered the Marriage Journal from Jeremy and Audrey’s Beating 50 Percent community. My husband and I agreed on committing to this journal every week. Even after being together for twelve years, and being married for the last two we can always do more to love each other better.
‘A Love Letter Life’ has already changed me, and I would recommend this book to everyone out there. It doesn’t matter if your religious or not, if your single or in a relationship.. this book is a beautiful and inspiring read that should be on your TBR. And boy.. I’m going to re-read this book soon for sure!
