"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” –Colossians 3:12
Today I would like to share with you a wonderful book called The Fitting Room by Kelly Minter.
In this book Kelly Minter breaks down the verse Colossians 3:12. Chapter by chapter she explains how we can put on the virtues of peace, kindness, humility, compassion, patience, and joy. We have to realize that these aren't just things that we can suddenly be. They are all things to work on; they don't come naturally to us in our own self. They come from Christ living in us.
I appreciate her writing style and how the book has the feel of a conversation with a friend. Her honesty in sharing real life stories as well as her humor really add to this book. There were so many little "nuggets" in this book that made me stop and think as I was reading.
One part that really stood out to me was in one of the chapters on peace. She talked about Jonah and his running from God and how sometimes it's our own choices that hinder us from having peace.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to read this book and recommend it to you. It has study questions in the back and I could see it being very appropriate for a group study with friends or a church group.

Thank you to Audra at The B & B Media Group for providing this book for my honest review.
Have a day of blessings!
