I got this book as an add-on when I got the prompt to "order more from member." So I consider myself lucky to have found this gem!
Nicole Johnson writes in a clear manner, and she has put forth some really great ideas in this book that I have never heard before. She takes you step by step through ways to have a closer relationship with God.
I have quoted from this book over and over again, to friends, other members at church and in normal daily life. I LOVE this book! It's a definite keeper for me (so much so that I even highlighted in it!! EEK!)
I highly recommend this book. Just as coffee wakes us up in the morning, so this book can wake up your relationship with Christ.
5 stars and a book I will read again and again!

From Amazon.com:
With wit and wisdom, Nicole Johnson leads the reader in a journey of awakenings-first, to God as you respond to His tender, passionate love for you; second to yourself as you embrace your identity as a woman, your gifts, and your dreams; finally, to others as you learn to love and communicate in ways that bring joy and closeness.
Nicole offers a freshly-brewed, heartwarming wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee guide to living life to the fullest. She encourages Christian women to recognize the areas in their lives where they are sound asleep-and let God wake them up again.
Challenging and immensely practical, Fresh-Brewed Life is a heartwarming book that's good to the last drop-good enough to change your life and help you touch the lives of others.
Within the nine chapters, Nicole invites you to "sip" from the "nine cups" of Fresh-Brewed Life with topics like:
* Surrender to God
* Encounter your journal
* Listen to your longings
* Embrace your beauty
* Interview your anger
* Savor your sexuality
* Celebrate your friendships
* Change your world
* Enrich your relationships>
