I love to share in the experiences of other people, especially on matters of faith. I think this would be a perfect book for me to do that. Thanks for the nice review.

People who have PTSD need help to navigate into a peaceful place for their souls. This sounds like a good choice for those who may be in need of this help.

It's interesting that the author uses spirit guides to aid in writing this book. It's not a perspective I've ever come across in Christian books. I like that you mentioned how calm you felt reading this. We can all use some of that right now. Great review! I will definitely check this book out!

I tend to steer clear of religious texts as they can be very preachy. In your review, you illustrate that this book is not preachy but in fact inspirational, which can come from many different mediums. I think I might give the book a try after reading your review. Thank you!

This book is not for me. However, it may benefit those of the Christian religion looking to further their spirituality. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

I was a bit put off this book, by the title, but reading the review and the sample made me judge it with a different light altogether. There have been some interesting books, similar to this one, published in recent years, such as Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh, which I have really enjoyed. Many people who know me are surprised that I enjoy books like this, as I am an agnostic leaning towards atheist, but I do enjoy religion and mysticism. This sounds like an insightful and provocative book that I may enjoy. Your review was very insightful and made me decide to consider reading this book.

I enjoyed what there was of the sample and especially liked the statement "The time is 'Now' for all humans to see 'Love' in all other human faces." Nice presentation and positive thoughts.

It's hard to review this be cause there is very little of the sample to read. You have to buy it or get an app. Cant really review it without reading at least a chapter of it. But it starts out good, that we need to create peace.

I like the idea of spirituality versus religiosity. After reading your review, I'll give it a second look. I was honestly turned off by the typos in the Amazon blurb, but you've said it was professionally edited, so I'll give it a second try.

Kudos for the author to have found a way to deal with PTSD and a serious health scare. The book itself is not for me, I was not attracted to continue reading after the sample, where the author is writing down the messages she receives. It goes beyond my beliefs.

Thanks for the honest review. I am glad the author was able to find peace and gain spirituality on her journey as she recovered from PTSD. I appreciate the heads-up that it might not be suitable for atheists or hardline fundamentalist Christians. I feel it would be a book I would enjoy. Congratulations on BOTD.

This isn't something I would ever go for, but I appreciate that the author put a lot of effort into this book and I'm sure that the right reader can feel that.

I'm not surprised that people would find this book comforting. I am particularly fond of the author using her own experiences to engage the reader shown from a Christian perspective. I often wonder why more people dont take the time to investigate on what christianity is all about.
