Jane's story was definitely my favourite. She was so strong minded in her faith-something I respect and look up to.

I agree wholeheartedly with your opinion on Jane. Throughout the book, her strength was shown differently. She got up even if life had nothing good to offer her.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑01 May 2020, 04:40 Which character or story resonated with you the most?
I found this book owerwhealming to read, especially as I read it in one sitting. I think there are many stories here that were hard to read. I could understand turning to faith in hardships. I liked reading about Jane. I am in awe of her strangth especially after losing so much, her dad, son and then taking care of her mom. The life just kept on punching her with blow after blow. She found solace in her faith. I find that admirable. It would be so easy to blame God for so much heartache.
I'll definitely have to listen to his TED Talk! I hadn't thought about doing that. Seeing lives changed due to God is so amazing. No one is beyond His saving grace and love!Twylla wrote: ↑04 May 2020, 15:14 Coss Marte's story was my favorite. I listened to the Ted Talk he gave about his business Conbody. I started doing his Conbody workout, and I am on my way to having the prison body I have always wanted! It was so funny - he said in his Ted Talk that when he got out of prison and he was thinking of starting his fitness studio, he zeroed in on his target market - ladies in yoga pants. That's me! How did he know that ladies in yoga pants would love his workout? I don't know, but at 2:00 every afternoon, I get up and do my prison workout. I don't need equipment and I just need a small area. Coss Marte seems like a good guy! I am so glad he turned his life around and found the Lord!
I liked both the Vietnam vet and the business man who fell from grace. I liked the Vietnam ver because he served our country and I liked the business man because he reminded me that you can have a life after making a mistake.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑01 May 2020, 04:40 Which character or story resonated with you the most?

Haha, I love your response! And I love prison workouts! Super simple and effective. I'll have to listen to his TedTalk; thanks for mentioning it!Twylla wrote: ↑04 May 2020, 15:14 Coss Marte's story was my favorite. I listened to the Ted Talk he gave about his business Conbody.
