About the Author

Karen Brough is an Australian wife, mother, and former Primary School Teacher & has always had a passion for writing. She is the author of ‘Be Held by Him’ Finding God when life knocks you off your feet.

Ten years ago, when hit by a mystery illness, Karen began sharing the encouragement God gave to her, with others. Her heart loves nothing better than to demystifying how and who God is in the everyday and the miraculous.

She loves spending time with her husband and children. In Summer, you’ll find her enjoying the water and offering gelato to anyone who might drop by. In Winter, she makes soups, breads, and muffins. Often hiding vegetables in sweet recipes, much to her children’s dismay (secretly they love it though).

 

More from Karen

I wrote this book because I was given a dream to do it. I’d had my life turned upside down through medical mystery, and yet in it, God revealed His heart of love for me; and for those who are walking through the tough of life.

At every point, God unveiled every detail of the book, through dreams, verses, songs, life events and so much more. This book series is a testament to His miraculous, hope filled and loving hand, which is ready to pick us up, hold us tenderly and show us the next step. He speaks in ways each one of us understands, and I LOVE this about Him.

MY REVIEW

I enjoyed the book and companion guidebook. It walks us through a journey with the author as she seeks to find answers. We all struggle in different areas and this book gives us tools of how to grow closer to God. The author went through a period of illness where she felt at times that there was no answers for her. I liked how friends came along side her and encouraged her with God’s Word. 

As I read her story I saw how vulnerable she was at times. I know that  we all at one point try to hide our weaknesses but God is there to give us strength. She does continue to talk about her illness quite a bit that  at times for  me was a little too much. I understand her struggles but sometimes she confused me with her back and forth of healing and then not believing everything was all right. 

The book is worth reading to get clarity in parts of our life that  we struggle with. I did not always agree with everything  she said but did find nuggets of wisdom in the book. I appreciate her openness and heart to share with others. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
