This is a story of true endurance and perseverance of one person’s turbulent journey documenting the rise and the falls of her characteristic life. I’m not a fan of reading people’s lives mostly because I think I’ve read pretty much a lot of biographies of different journeys and trials that a lot of people have gone through so this book was no different.

What I liked about it was the way she explains the significance of God in all of her journeys. As a believer in God it was inspiring to learn and appreciate how God is always with you no matter what. They are a variety of scenarios she goes through, my favorite being the one where she is held hostage for several days by some crazy deranged individual.

It’s a great read for those that need inspiration, or are having tough times and need some answers on how to overcome whatever adversity they are facing. If you are new to the spiritual world then this book is a great help in understanding how the spiritual world interacts with the physical world to help you, encourage you, uplift you and inspire you.

The first thing I didn’t like about this book was the horrible grammar and insanely countless spelling mistakes. I can’t stand reading any book or material that has grammatical errors. There were times I actually shut the book and didnt read because the errors was just overwhelming. It’s why it took me forever to finish reading it! Secondly, there was so much repetition in terms of the way she was explaining the story. Several times I skipped pages because it was just plain boring and was dragging. They were so many unnecessary words phrases and statements, and I felt like each sequence of stories sounded the same. It was very predictable and mundane.

Overall I would give it a rating of two out of four stars because it just wasn’t thrilling to read. I felt like I was being punished to read this book and it just took forever to finish reading it. I was looking forward to just ending reading it because after the first chapter, I felt like I was just reading the same story over and over again. This is the kind of book you would read only once and forget about it. So honestly I didn’t enjoy reading this book but it was okay. If you like inspirational stories and don’t mind bad grammar, go for it but I don’t see a rush of people buying this book. Its good for a free gift, free download but I wouldn’t buy it or recommend anyone to buy it.
