(Starting 1st August, 2020) Becoming by Michelle Obama is “an intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States.” Why have we chosen this book? Great question! Because the message in it is what we are all about here at The Whole Living Hub: “In telling her story with honesty and boldness, she [Michelle] issues a challenge to the rest of us: Who are we and who do we want to become?” I’m pretty sure...

Psalms 46:10 says “Be still and know that I am God”. In this season of change and the unknown, I have clung tight to this verse, because it has helped me cling tighter to God – He is the known in our unknown. He is consistent, never changing, un-failing, faithful, never ending, always the same, constant, near and with us. His promises stand true and remain. His Word teaches us that He looks after us, that we do not need...

This book is about belonging. It’s about cultivating true belonging in our communities, organisations and culture and helping us to find courage and connection. It may seem a bit odd to be delving into such a book in this current climate of isolation, self-quarantine and sequestering, but after thinking it through, we decided that now is as good a time as any to be reading about and discovering ways to better connect and belong. Once we are able to resume...

Would you like to be happier? Does God really care about our happiness? These questions and more are unpacked and explored in this incredible book by Jennifer Dukes Lee. The Happiness Dare teaches us all about happiness – what it really is and how we can pursue it. It’s not only informative but transformational. As you read through these pages and gain a greater understanding of the concept of happiness, I believe that you won’t be able to resist feeling...

The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman is a book that’s really about just that: the next right thing. This February, as we read through this book, aware of the fact that our new years resolutions are starting to dwindle and fade, we will be reminded of how to actually start making some right choices and decisions, and how to do that with peace and clarity. If you are someone who struggles with making clear and wise decisions, always...

There couldn’t possibly be a better way to start a new year, a new book club and this new initiative of highlighting one book each month, than with this book. The Power of Moments is the ultimate book for helping us understand the importance of a single moment. It explains what makes a defining moment and why some meaningful experiences stand out more in our memories than others. When I first read this book, it impacted me so greatly that...
