Wow. What a message this book brings. I could write a very long review quoting line after line that touched me so deeply. Even as a person with a non-bipolar marriage this book truly makes you take a moment to evaluate yourself, your motives, and your relationships...including with God! The writing is in your face...you will read exactly what Allison was experiencing & feeling. I would suggest this book for sure to those people who are experiencing a relationship touched by bipolar disorder but also anyone who'd like to learn more about the disorder and perhaps just to learn more about yourself. I read it in 2 sittings because I was glued...I needed to know how in the world did Allison keep her own sanity when it seemed like everything around her was crumbling. I'm amazed at her strength and with her dependence on God. It really actually helped me realize that I too need to depend on God MUCH more than I already do with problems and issues far less "serious" or "urgent" than Allison was dealing with. Way to go Allison Johnson!
