A great read as you journey with the author through her stories. I could not help but to see her find the presence of God in her stories as she revisits times in her life while meeting a goal to view every sunrise and sunset. It may seem like a book that would appeal to women but everyone should read this book.

Not many books can earn 5 stars. What makes this book a 5 star for me is the insight which Becker shares with the reader. And *this* reader certainly is drawn to and relates to what Becker has to say.
Written as a result of her time spent on a beach and chronicled in Coming Up for Air: Simple Acts to Redefine Your Life, Becker continues to explore life and faith and how they intertwine. She actually published this book before Coming Up for Air but refers to her time at the beach a lot. If you have read Coming Up for Air you will recognize the journey. I'm actually quite glad I read that one first and this one after - it helped me with context.
I think I am drawn to Becker's journey because it seems to reflect my own. Brennan Manning claims that believers have a time in their life where they experience a "second call" and it is in that time that believers explore what they believe and why, that they understand a little bit better what mercy and grace and love are and behave like, etc. I think that this "second call" would be a very appropriate way to look at Becker's journey and certainly my own.
I loved this short book that shared snippets of soul vision. It won't be the last time I read it. Like Coming Up for Air, which I have read three times, I will be reading this one again as well.
