To be honest, this book was terrible. I hate saying that due to the specific subject matter that this particular book is about... But it was terrible. Every story sounded the exact same that it got so monotonous. I made it to 83% and could've just finished it out. But I was making myself even do that. This book came recommended by someone at my church, and I feel I've given a full 100% shot at it. I could not finish though. I was so bored and got nothing out of it. I'll try to finish it some day soon, but for now, I'm putting it aside till such day comes.

A very good book given to me by a very good friend during a very dark time. I took over a year to go through this book, but found that some entries were read on days when I needed to read the message that was given in that particular passage.

I thought this book was a good read. I know I myself have been going through some spiritually challenging times and this book inspired me. It gave me hope and renewed faith.
