Discover how the waves of trials can carry you into a deeper awareness of the presence of God, even in the midst of turmoil, and experience the precious gifts and wisdom that only come the hard way--through change, loss, and transition.

It's said that the only thing in life that doesn't change is change itself. In this collection of poignant essays, New York Times bestselling author Shauna Niequist reflects on her own journey of making peace with change, the nuanced mix of excitement and heartbreak that comes with it, and the practices that offer us strength and hope along the way.

When life comes at us in waves, our first instinct is to dig in our heels and control what we can. A keen observer of life with a lyrical voice, Shauna offers another way--the way of letting the waves carry us into a deeper awareness of the presence of God in our lives, even in the midst of turmoil. Drawing from her own experiences in a season of pain and chaos--difficult moves, job changes, marital stress, financial worries, and miscarriage--Shauna explores the gifts and wisdom that only come to us the hard way, through change, loss, and transition.

With honesty and hope, Shauna beautifully unwraps the complicated truth that in all things there is both something broken and something beautiful, a moment of lightness even on the darkest of nights, and that rejoicing is no less meaningful when it contains a splinter of sadness. A tribute to life at the edges, this selection of essays is a love letter to the bittersweet and sacred work change does in us all.

I love this soap multipack, they all smell great and lather really well. They is a soap for every need in here, whether you need a soap to brighten dark marks or a soap with a great scent or hydrating, this pack has it. My skin feels good, not too dry but at the same time not too greasy or that feeling of residual stuff. Overall great quality soaps.

Amazing Bar Soap!
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I am so pleased with my purchase of this soap! Not only does it have natural ingredients that are good for the skin, but it works better than most real soaps I’ve ever tried! It is very moisturizing, yet doesn’t leave a film behind and rinses off quickly and cleanly. It has really calmed down my extremely sensitive skin even more so than dermatologist recommended body washes and soap. It seems like a lot of dermatologists recommend non-soap products as being more comforting to sensitive skin. However,, I have found that old-fashioned soap that undergoes saponification tend to be gentler to my skin and less prone to causing dry skin and a compromised skin barrier. Amongst the real soaps there is of course variation in performance depending on the types of oils and additives they use. This soap has the perfect blend of oils and additives that create a super sudsy and moisturizing bar of soap. The scent is very light, but it has the perfect amount where you can smell the soap ingredients a bit mixed with the perfect amount of scent. The scents are very addicting and I randomly enjoy just smelling the bar because they smell that good. If you’re on the fence about this soap, just give it a try. I have been very pleased with it and will definitely purchase it again. A very fair price for the quality you’re getting.

Decent & Natural
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
The soaps all smell good and unique, however the scents aren’t very potent, and some seem to vary more than others in the olfactory department. I started with the army soap, but I’m not sure whether they use natural coloring or not, but it apparently sheds some green in the shower. Overall, I’d say they are high quality and natural, but they’re a bit steep in price. I would recommend them if you can get them on sale at some point.

Scents are all awesome and they ARE PLENTY strong!
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6), Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
First thing I want to say is i do not ever leave a false review to save a few bucks or get something free. Secondly that I have zero clue what some of these people are expecting when they say the scents are not very strong, they absolutely 100% for sure are plenty strong. I was expecting a very faint smelling bar after reading the reviews and when the box showed up (next day delivery) I did not even have to tear open the what seemed to be air tight plastic wrap off the box to smell the soaps. After removing the plastic wrap I immediately thought what in the ever loving hockey sticks are these people talking about! It smelled excellent and PLENTY strong. Then I was even more shocked to open the box and see every bar is individually sealed in plastic wrap! Like I honestly dont know how you would even want your soap smelling any stronger than that. It is just as strong as the O. Spice swagger body wash which I used for many years and am just making the switch to a healthier option for my body. So with that out of the way. This soap is awesome. I really like every scent a lot and if it weren't for the coast guard scent I wouldnt be able to pick a favorite, however that coast guard scent is flawless in my opinion. I would absolutely buy a cologne that smelled like that. They all definitely do smell like mens colognes and somehow they nailed each one smelling good when 95% of actual mens colognes smell like crap haha. I have only actually used the coast guard bar as I just got these today and soon as I smelled that one I knew it was going first. But with my one use I will say I am really happy and already have two more boxes in my cart. Smell gets stronger in the warm water but loses potency if that makes sense? Like it gets stronger but doesnt become overbearing to cause a headache or something, smells fantastic. Lathers up real nice when using my scrubber, feels great on the skin and probably what I love the most is that it rinses completely off like 10,000 times quicker than body washes. I hate that about body washes I always have to rinse off then spend like 10 minutes scrubbing my skin to get the film off of me, with this I just rinsed off for about 2 minutes and completely off, no scrubbing my skin after and no film just clean skin. I did also notice my skin felt a hair more hydrated, but that could also be because I am so used to body washes leaving it feeling dry. Another thing I really like is how they list all Ingredients of each individual soap very clearly on the back of the box that is a nice touch I thought. I went with this brand to try because reviews all seemed good and price point was actually reasonable unlike them other guys which I would never pay that price for soap, and I'm really happy i did, it's better than I expected and I honestly can not think of anything I dont like about it. The one con I can think of is I immediately jumped on here to see about getting multiples of just the coast guard bars and it seems you can only buy this mixed box. Which is not a problem I like them all plenty well, just really really like the coast guard scent. Please SOLDIER dont jack your prices up once you get bigger as I'm sure you will get bigger with this good a product. But that's what I feel really separates you is that you are selling them at a reasonable price and not gouging people. Buy this!
