Looking for Lovely: Collecting the Moments that Matter
by Annie F. Downs
5 stars
Our Assistant Director, Emily Ellis, kept mentioning how much she loved Annie F. Downs, so I thought I’d give one of her books a try. I have to say, I share her love. Annie F. Downs’ writing is friendly, engaging, and totally relatable. In Looking For Lovely, Downs describes how she decided to look for the beautiful things in her life, even when things don’t seem so beautiful. She breaks up her book in short stories that each reflect on something lovely in her life, and how within that lovely she’s able to see God’s hand in her life. Downs does a nice job of incorporating Biblical scripture in with her personal stories, and in the end creates an uplifting, fun read. Highly recommend.
