A Daily Practice for Everyone

Reviewed in the United States on 2 July 2019

If I thought the only way you could really benefit from this book was if you had adult children, I would find a way to go out and get some. It is that good. I appreciate the author’s intent in publishing this work – to help parents connect with their offspring on a deepening level. However, the content is a blessing whether you have children or not. I whisked through it because I was curious to see what the next day was about – and the next, and the next. Of course, now I will slow down and use it as intended – but I truly encourage anyone looking to deepen their spiritual walk to add this to your library. Bringing your focus once a day to what really matters is a practice from which anyone can benefit. A great work from a great author!

Thoughtful and refreshing

Reviewed in the United States on 3 July 2019

Pause 2 Praise is a thoughtful creative devotional styled workbook. Easily read in one sitting, it is a 30 day journey of reflection and call to action. The author purposefully engages her 2 adult children (affectionately called her “tribe”) by exchanging short positive messages (text or phone) of encouragement, personal victories, and even collaborating on family projects. “Pause” and “Praise” are clever acronyms. Pause is your self-disciplined response to daily stressors. Praise is your commitment to focus on the positives instead of negatives. After the how-to, the reader is encouraged apply the model daily for 30 days. I loved the inspiring real-life personal success stories drawn from the author’s life, interspersed to encourage the reader. Though some adult children will be “unavailable” or estranged, all readers will draw wisdom from Pause 2 Praise. The positive refreshing vibe throughout this book will stimulate discussions within your family (especially if you are a new empty nester), teams and small groups.

Pause 2 Praise --excellent advice on how to slow down and reflect

Reviewed in the United States on 2 July 2019

Verified Purchase

Pause 2 Praise encourages us to take some time everyday to pause and reflect on what we can be grateful for. The author guides us on a 30-day journey to focus on the positive and to " reframe problems into possibilities." She uses Bible verses, personal stories and inspirational quotes. My favorite quote is, "You may not be able to control what you are fed; however you are totally responsible for what you digest." This book moved me to positive reflection. I look forward to reading it together with my tribe!

Practical and Inspiring

Reviewed in the United States on 6 July 2019

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed this inspirational book on prayer, connection, and the power of family relationships. I was inspired by her practical ways to connect and draw in your adult children into meaningful conversations, inspirational quotes, and reflective thinking. The author brought the reader into her personal life to inspire us to put these steps into our interactions with our children. This is a must read if you want to have a lifelong connection with your adult children who will be moving away, building their families, and moving on with their careers and lives.

A fantastic, much-needed resource! Thank you Lisa!

I just love Pause 2 Praise! As a mother of four young adults and two teenagers, I am just beginning this new phase of being a mother to adults. Lisa has created a system that will definitely help me build more positive relationships with my adult children, while at the same time helping me reduce my own anxiety and feel more peaceful. I love the self-reflection pieces in addition to linking back to Scripture. Thank you, Lisa!
