Only Nuns Change Habits Overnight


My Book Shelf
– Every now and then I like to share with you what I’m reading. My hope is that it will be a blessing and help to you as well.


Only Nuns Change Habits Overnight by Karen Scalf Linamen


You know I love a great book title and I just couldn’t pass this one up. Now I know it’s a book for women but we all need a little help in getting to where we want to be in life so I thought this would be the perfect book to review as we end 2008 and begin 2009.


We all long for change in our lives. That’s why we use the New Year to make our list of resolutions. Too often we forget about our list within the first few days and sink back into our old habits and emotions. Either we are just too comfortable to change or we’re too afraid. True positive change often seems out of our reach so we give up on our dreams and goals and settle for what we know is less than best.


We all need a little help. In Only Nuns Change Habits Overnight, Karen examines 52 powerful actions readers can apply to any change they long to embrace. Her insights apply to career, finances, personal health and fitness, relationships, faith—in fact, every facet of life. She is able to blend great stories, laugh-out-loud humor, and practical wisdom to help each of us transform our life. She provides the help we need to end bad habits, stop procrastinating, and generate the energy we need to pursue the life we desire.


God has so much more for you. Don’t settle. Strive for your personal best in 2009 and honor God with your life!
