Uplifting and Inspirational!!
I agree with the previous reviews 100%. I plan to give this book to a few friends as Christmas gifts. This book is not only well written, but it’s very uplifting and inspiring. I love the way she intertwines scripture and her experiences so you clearly understand what God is saying. I took this book to read on a long overnight flight to England and forgot that I was on a plane. I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this book to everyone whether you are going through difficult times or not.

Great book for inspiration, reference and journal use!
I use this book as a reference book and a journal. this book has prayers that focus on problems relative to life’s daily concerns and worries. The author also conveniently provided the Bible verse that was used in each lesson for future reference. In addition there is a blank space at the end of every chapter to write and examine your thoughts. This book is resourceful, inspiring and encouraging. Great reference book!

Rise Up give us all a message of spiritual encouragement
Author Joan M. Blake provides an in depth view and an understanding about how life can be for most people. She reaches into to the specifics of her life experience and shows us how faith in God can allow us to stand up even in the midst of our trials and storms. In each chapter she uses scriptures to support the situations she addresses. What is very interesting about ‘Rise Up’ is the ‘Reflect’ and ‘Respond’ sections at the end of each chapter, which provides an interactive task for readers. As such, this publication is a unique work to be cherished and shared with others who may or may not be going through a difficult situation or situations in their lives. It’s offers strong words of encouragement for those who are standing on God’s word and are seeking his purpose for their lives.

Wonderfully Inspiration Read
What I love about this book “Rise Up” is that it can appeal to all even if you are not Christian, Catholic or study the Bible. Joan organizes the book into small chapters which is easy to digest. Each chapter focuses on a problem or issue that effects most people and mixes Biblical references and stories as guide to a solution. I like that Joan adds her own life experiences as examples which gives the book authenticity. The idea of the book is to learn to trust and rely on God; something I have come to value in the last 5 years of my life.
You can read one chapter at a time or the entire book in one sitting. It’s an easy read. I think the best approach is to read a chapter and stop to meditate on what you read. Each chapter of “Rise Up” incorporates a section to reflect and encourages you to contemplate how the reading can relate to your own life. Each chapter also has a section to respond where you can write your own thoughts or discuss them with another individual. Any person who is on a spiritual or religious path would be wise to read this book.
