The sample I read didn't do this book any justice, but your review portrays a very thought- provoking piece of work. It's a must read for me. Great review!

I like that the author has taken to writing to deal with her PTSD. However, there are numerous misconceptions about Christianity, spirituality, and stewardship. I'd like to know–as a Christian–what this book entails, but this isn't what I'm looking to read now. I'll definitely check it out soon. Great review.

I appreciate the way the author has dealt with her PTSD. And the story seems to be inspirational to those who have suffered trauma or abuse and also to those who like to explore the ideas of spirituality. But I'm not one of the target audience. Thanks for an insightful review.

This is a highly inspirational and motivating book. I got touched knowing how much a lot of people struggle with health issues in life, and understanding how important it is to stick to God for his healing and protection.

I would love to sample this book. The author's perspective sounds refreshing and healing. The fact she is not forceful or preachy about her beliefs has got me interested already. I'm glad you were able to connect so deeply with the read. And I genuinely believe it can also help many other people find peace within themselves. Thank you for a detailed and thoughtful review.

I think that being able to communicate ones beliefs without preaching at others who have a different view or oppose you is a blessing in itself. Good review.

Even though I am skeptical about spirit guides myself, the content of this book is entirely helpful and wholesome and so, as an open minded agnostic, I definitely appreciate the insights and suggestions held herein. Thank you for a very concise and clear review, and I’m pleased you enjoyed this book as much as you did.

This book seems like it would be a soothing balm for people who have been through trauma of some sorts. However I am not into spiritual or religious books at the moment. Thanks for the review! I am happy you enjoyed the book as much as you did.

I am agnostic like you, however the subject matter of christianity and spirituality does not interest me. Great that this was clearly well edited with no errors to be found! Thank you for your recommendations of who this would be appropriate for.

I feel as though I’m saying this a lot lately, but I’m not Christian. However, I could be considered more of an “open-minded agnostic” and I think that there’s something more out there—I just don’t claim to know exactly what it is—so I might give this book a look if it’s more open to audiences like that, not just Christians, as this review claims. I am especially encouraged by the lack of condemning of nonbelievers and the absence of the “fire and brimstone” attitude, so I’ll consider keeping it on my ever-growing list out of spiritual curiosity. At the very least, I’m glad that writing this helped get the author through PTSD. Thank you for the helpful review.

I enjoyed reading both the sample and the review of the book. I am very interested in reading this book, and I felt that this is a very inspiring book for me to read. I also feel that this book is very helpful and soothing for anyone going through something, and needing God's guidance to help you get through it. Congrats on being the Book of the Day.

Thank you for the informative review. I love books on spirituality and books that are soothing to the mind. Great for people like me who are going through emotional turmoil and is on the lookout for peace. This book is going to be therapeutic and I would recommend everyone to read including non-Christians. I ardently look forward to read this book.
