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.

When Jennifer (Jen) Hoyt leaves for college, the word ecstatic feels like an understatement for how she feels. She can finally move away from the dysfunctional family who neglected and abused her to make a better life on her own. After being an overachieving outcast in school, Jen is confident of academic success, but what she wants most is to be a part of a loving family.
No one is more surprised than I am to read the word author and know it applies to me. I had different dreams as a child, and this was not remotely on my radar. At three, I wanted to be an Olympic swimmer. When I was eight, I “ran for president,” telling people to vote for me in the election year when I would finally be thirty-five (I had calculated it precisely). In my teens, I had lowered the barand just wanted to be a lawyer. While those doors never opened, God has faithfully led me on a winding path to get me where I am today.
