I don’t leave book reviews often so for me to do so right now is already saying a lot 😂. I won’t say much expect that this book is MOST DEFINITELY God-Breathed, Holy Spirit-Led, and full of the love of God 🥺. And guess what? I’ve only read the covers and first page of the book so far… as well as glanced at the Appendix in the back! YEA GET THIS BOOK IF YOU WANT GOD TO SPEAK TO YOU!😭🤍

SHELBY

This week, I was looking at my bookshelf and had a thought, “I want to read a book about waiting”. Later on in the week, I went on YouTube and saw a video that looked interesting. I truly believe the Lord led me to the video because they were talking about this book on waiting. God is so incredibly good to us!! I’m sharing this part because It shows the faithfulness of God!!!

I’m so thankful for this book and look forward to continuing to read it because I’m not finished yet. SO thankful that Dawnchere shared her testimony of the faithfulness of God IN THE PROCESS of the promise. I can look and see that it’s true. He’s faithful in it even though I don’t have the promise yet!

KARY

This book is life-changing. I cried when I finished it…because I just felt the Lord’s gentleness & healing as I read it. Undoing so much of my own fight and striving & replacing it with trust and dependency on Him. All because of someone’s testimony…that’s the power. I reference it daily now as I navigate the tension of waiting. It helps realign my posture…live in the wait, make space for all God is doing.

Thank you, Pastor DC, for allowing us into your personal story through Slowburn. Even though I have the privilege to call Vous Church home and sit under your teaching, this book came into my life at such a particular and needed time. With every page, I felt seen, strengthened, and ministered to. Your transparency and wisdom reminded me that there is purpose in the waiting, and your teaching—grounded in Scripture—helped me realign my focus and stand strong in faith.

Each verse and personal experience was like a gentle yet firm push forward. This book is more than just encouragement; it’s a guide for those walking through seasons of uncertainty. Thank you for your obedience in writing it—Slowburn has truly left a mark on my heart.

NATASHA

By far one of the best books, if not the best, I’ve ever read. This was a life altering perspective shift for me, and so timely. I’m grateful for the author's wisdom and how she kept me engaged the whole time. This book has guided me into a deeper and more fulfilling walk with God.

CHARITY

I am only a few chapters in, but am already so encouraged by this book! DawnCheré writes with such power and authority in Christ, and my spirit feels so encouraged by the truth of the Bible that she brings into the book. My perspective has already shifted, and I am looking at my own waiting season as one where God is with me and that I have something to learn and partake in rather than “waiting” until the thing or answer is here. I highly recommend to anyone who is struggling to see the waiting with purpose.

BREEANA

As a mom of three little ones, Slow Burn was exactly what my heart needed in this busy and demanding season. Reaching this, I'm reminded that waiting isn't wasted time—it's a purposeful season of growth. This book encouraged me to embrace the quiet, slow moments instead of rushing through them, finding peace and meaning in each pause. I'd highly recommend it to anyone seeking clarity and comfort in the waiting seasons.

NYDIA

Waited so long for this book to be released. Incredibly grateful for DawnCheré's life as an author. This book is to be enjoyed in every way. Every word should be an encouragement for the Love Jesus has for us.

JOHANA

What an amazing book. These are one of the books that will be relevant and relatable for years to come. a book truly birthed in the presence of God

DANIELLE

DC lived this before she wrote it… and that makes all the difference! Challenged, encouraged, and reminded of just how much God deeply loves me and has good plans for me. So much encouragement for every season in Slow Burn, and most certainly for the seasons you’re waiting for something in!

SHELLEY

Wonderful book, told with depth and wisdom. Powerful testimony from a woman who has walked the path and has collected treasures in God along the way.
