I'm falling in love with memoirs. I especially loved the concept of Chuckism. From the sample pages that I read, I knew that I was going to like this book. Thank you for a wonderful review!!

It seems to be an enjoyable read. The way the author describes her relationship with her father seems touching. Looking forward to reading it. Congrats on BOTD!

I love the Chuckisms at the beginning of each chapter; thank you for giving more examples! This sounds like an inspiring read, laced with strong faith and family relationships. Your review made me want to read the book even more; thanks for the recommendation!

The book sounds like it has both humorous and inspiring moments, as well as those that pull you in. I did like the few 'Chuckisms" that were in the sample, but I don't enjoy religion-based books or memoirs. That puts a double whammy on this one. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I'll have to pass. Thanks for the informative review!

I find this read heartwarming and thought-provoking given the personal insight the author offers into her relationship with her father. Although it's a religion-themed book, I suppose this would also appeal those who like emotionally-charged books. Thank you for the detailed review.

The Chuckism quotes sound truly amazing and thought-provoking. I am glad that the addition of the family photographs had a wonderful effect. Thanks for the review and the amazing book summary.

The Chuck King character sounds very interesting. But i am a little reluctant about reading a book describing the importance of love for jesus. I think i will pass on this one.

This world will soon pass only what's done for Christ will last, I'm glad that a daughter's most important aspect is to lead her father to Christ. This is an outstanding review, definitely putting the book on my bookshelf

While the family connections sound interesting, I am not a religious person, so I am going to pass on this one. I hope others enjoy it though! Great review!

The ongoing wars in the world are about principalities. The realization that a change in the mind can not only change you but the whole society. Thinking differently can make you see the world in a better light. Nice review.

Thanks for your review. It looks like you really enjoyed this inspirational story of a very special father-daughter relationship. The ‘Chuckisms’ seem to really add a lot to the book!
