Summary: Great for friends
Review: This book is an uplifting book for women and their friendships. IT helps us to celebrate each other. A close group of girls at school (college) ended up passing around one copy and talking all about it, we thought it was great.

Summary: Great book!
Review: This book is one that my mom's group will be reading and discussing soon. A few of us got together to read it before the quarter begins, and to be quite honest, I'm not much into book studies. However, this book was excellent and gave good insights on things that women go through. I highly recommend it and I will also be getting several copies of it to give as gifts to some of my girlfriends!
Enjoy!

Summary: WOW!
Review: This book literally jumped off the shelf at me! I LOVE coffee, so I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but the whole coffee theme/book cover is what snagged me. The next thing I knew, I was at the checkout stand. That night I began reading this amazing little book and the next day, returned to purchase an armload of more copies to send my best friends. My copy now has underlined passages and margin notes all over it! I can't even begin to describe how it has spoken to me and influenced me at this point in my life. These are messages I needed to hear. Nicole sure knows how to cut to the chase and speak right to the heart. It's been an extremely refreshing experience reading this book . . . which gives "wake up and smell the coffee" a whole new meaning!

Summary: Nice Concept, Hypocritical Author
Review: This book offers a refreshing message using the metaphor of coffee. The message is good by rings hollow because of the author's hypocrisy. When this book was published the author Nicole Johnson and her husband of many years were heads of their church-related ministry. The traveled from church to church giving dramatic presentations, which was the vehicle for their message of making life choices that are pleasing to God.Alas, the ministry dissolved and they closed their website in 2001. The pain that visited their ministry, however, was self-inflicted as Nicole chose to neglect her own biblical counsel and teaching by walking away from the ministry and her husband for no other reason than she was tired of being married. Oops. Now she travels with the Women of Faith organization encouraging "Christian women to recognize the areas in their lives where they are sound asleep-and let God wake them up again. From seeking a deeper encounter with the living God to learning to laugh out loud, from embracing our individuality to taking more risks, women are given the tools to excavate their authentic selves and shout a resounding 'yes!' to life." One can only assume she advises those she counsels to follow her own example. The message is excellent, the messenger needs to retire.

Summary: A Java Jolt for your spiritual life!
Review: This is one book to read! Nichole Johnson puts it in interesting, to-the-point language. She has truly encouraged me to break out of the fear and self-loathing that we seem to deal with in our lives. She points to Jesus Who is the One Who truly heals and delivers. Thank you, Nichole, for listening to God and following His creative leading! I am getting ready to step out in faith!

Summary: Hello! This is your wake up call!
Review: What is living life to you? Is it going to work, home and church and than starting all over? Does life seem like an endless list of things you need to get done? If this is your thinking, let this book allow you to daydream. "Fresh Brewed Life" wakes you up to all that you have been missing out on. Nicole's desire is for you to see the "whole bean" essence of who you are. There is more to life than laundry. You were created to give God glory, not to give dishes that special shine. This book will challenge you to live for the here and now. It deals with real life issues that are facing many women today. She candidly talks about longings (and what we are supposed to do with them), anger, relationships and sexuality. (If you are single, please don't skip this chapter). Nicole Johnson has been in ministry as an actress, speaker and now author with her husband, Paul for almost 10 years. Her humor lightens up heavy subject matter and her God given wisdom will leave you thinking long after the book is done. Nicole so bravely shares her own struggle with beauty, sex, and how to be worthy of the call God has placed on her life. I read this at age 21. I am so glad that I did. I found this book to be very emotional. I went through a lot of issues that I really did not want to deal with. God will show Himself in such a mighty way. The issues seemed to be popping up every where. God used this book to heal a lot of past hurts and give me a hope that does not disappoint. Nicole will tell you to get a journal...so let me beat her to it..."GET A JOURNAL!" Keep your Bible near by. You are in for the ride of your life. Take your time and embarrass all that God wants you to enjoy. Sit back with your favorite cup of coffee (or whatever) and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you though this mighty woman of God. She shows that God will use all of our mistakes for His glory.
