The first page I wasn't sure if I was going to like this story.
2nd half of the story I could not put the book down.
MUST READ!

[Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

An eighties-style book about being positive and taking control of our lives, from a Christian perspective. Quite thought-provoking in places, and generally well-written, although I was mildly irritated by the 'staying happy keys' that appeared every so often in fancy font. The word 'happy' didn't seem entirely appropriate either; it was more about grasping contentment.

There are some useful questionnaires to encourage people to think about their attitudes and behaviour, and some positive suggestions to live in the knowledge of the indwelling Christ. Quite readable and mostly encouraging.

Da nije toliko okretanja na religiju bila bi bolja.

[Tanja · Rating 3 out of 5]

Knjiga je ok ali puno potencira religiju. Knjiga je izasla 1989 tako da je mozda za to vreme je bila wau ali je danas losija verzija knjiga Luize Hej.
