A lot of the quotes didn't even have attributions, and were either apocryphal or idiomatic in nature. The whole book seems like a thinly veiled attempt to get people to read the Bible. I've found pithier writings scrawled on bathroom walls.

Powerful words for the heart and mind.

This needs some severe editing. WAAAAAAYYYY TOO MANY USELESS QUOTES! Also, why include a ton of period pictures? Unnecessary. Every 10th page may have one good quote on it. Some of the quotes were misogynistic or unsettling. Give me my $10.99 back.

It has some good quotes, but it is not very rich. Still helpful, if you want to give a talk on a specific topic.

[Stacey Stearns]

I didn't appreciate how many of the quotes were unkind to women.

[Anna Keesey-Faúndez · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the different sections that touched on different topics or life changes. I do wish there was more organization among the authors of each section though. Some quotes could've used more thoughtful places in the book.
