More Than A Bucket List
By Toni Birdsong
This is a cozy sized hardback book that includes short one
page devotionals or positive writings among the many lists that inhabit its
pages. List lovers will probably go
crazy over this one.
My favorite parts were the devotionals that focused on God
and the Real Life Challenges scattered throughout the book.
For those unfamiliar with the term “bucket list”, it is
intended to be a list of things you hope to do before you “kick the bucket”.
To me, many of the writings and the lists of things to do
were directed towards people who have been financially blessed. It seemed to be written without consideration
for the fact that some people may never have the means to enjoy traveling the
world and fulfilling their every wish. Not
to say that all the lists were unrealistic.
But most focused on travel, expensive visits, expensive foods, expensive
hobbies.
I still liked the book because it is full of lists …and I
love lists. My favorite part out of the
whole book was the suggestion to make an “unbucket” list. The author describes this as a list of
things you have already done in life. To
me, this would bring more contentment than focusing on all I have NOT been able
to do in life.
I was given this book to review for free in exchange for an
honest review, which I have provided here.
