Synopsis

"Narrator and former 'Great American Country' host Nan Kelley lends her vocal talents to this Christian guide on stepping back, taking a break, and bettering your health by listening to your faith." (AudioFile magazine)Writer and Bible teacher Jen Wise knew that holistic faith—that reaches into every facet of life—is what brings grace and renewal. But she didn’t begin to live this truth until her world fractured. So as she searched Scripture for a better way, she discovered Jesus’ invitation for just that: small steps able to lead us into a bright new beginning. So to the woman who feels her all is never enough, The Bright Life is your invitation to a new start. You were created to be healthy, strong, vibrant, and to rest in the unforced rhythms of grace Jesus so lovingly makes available to us all. Come along and learn how to avoid habits that seem smart but are deceptively self-sabotaging, pick up habits of wholeness that actually stick, and try surprising ways to practice kindness toward yourself and generosity toward loved ones.The Bright Life extends a daily invitation with striking insights, tips to reclaim your energy, and a three-part practice of looking inward, upward, and outward as you step into a brighter way. This 40-day reset weaves story and Scripture together to cultivate a peaceful place where, through the attentive love of Jesus, you can experience the unforced rhythms of grace.

Goodreads review by Chantel on March 27, 2025

Goodreads review by Kendra on April 14, 2019

I felt so often that Jen wrote to my exact situation and struggles as a Christian woman attempting to do it all. It was certainly a challenging, yet hope-filled and encouraging read! I read this as a part of my daily devotions, and my only criticism is that it did not offer enough Biblical “meat” to......more

Goodreads review by Tea on February 01, 2024

3.5 🌟 rounded down. Some excellent suggestions, some average content too. As with any book like this, some lessons will hit harder than others because none of us are in the exact same place. I don't recommend the audio version. It's a little too "soft church lady voice" (if you grew up in a church y......more

Goodreads review by Tiffany on April 24, 2024

This was a solid 3.5 ⭐️ for me. There was some really good and powerful portions but then others fell short for me. I don’t think this has anything to do with the author but more so that I couldn’t necessarily relate to her in certain levels. I do think that others might appreciate the book in its e......more

Quotes

Narrator and former 'Great American Country' host Nan Kelley lends her vocal talents to this Christian guide on stepping back, taking a break, and bettering your health by listening to your faith. The audiobook is designed to be used as a daily devotional. Kelley's gentle inflection is calming as she provides about 10 minutes of focus each day for 40 days. Her voice has a soft Mississippi accent, which adds to the charm of her narration. Though the chapters are short, they are filled with important lessons and examples on slowing down the hectic pace of contemporary life and taking a holistic approach to faith. -AudioFile Magazine
