This book has left me speechless. It is absolutely a healing experience for the heart of the givers. To those learning boundaries. To those who pour themselves out constantly. This felt like milk and honey to my soul. It is as light or as heavy as you let it be. Easy to read, but filling to digest. Please read it. Please give it to your heart as medicine.
I ordered the Giver. bundle with both books and am so glad I did!
Since I started following the author on social media, I have always been moved by his writing but I was especially drawn to the Giver. series. These books are thoughtful, moving and hit close to home with a lot of my inner struggles. I have not read other books in his collection but am certain they do the same for others.
Very glad I discovered this author! Not to mention, you can tell they were shipped and packaged with care - I ordered directly from his site and recommend the same for everyone!
I fell in love with Adrian Michael’s prose and poetry on Instagram and decided to buy a couple of his books. Giver spoke to me in ways I didn’t know I needed to be spoken to. His words are absolutely beautiful. I will be turning to this collection again and again when my heart needs a little nourishment.
Adrian’s words speak directly to and from the heart. As you read it, you feel like you’re hearing the words at the right moment and time. His writing is warm, friendly, transparent and inspiring. This has been on my favorite reads of the year, and I know I’ll be returning to this book over and over again.
Adrian what can I say? You so clearly spoke to my soul on so many levels!! I will reread this books for years and years to come. I found myself speed reading because each poem felt more relatable than the one before. I cannot say enough good things about this collection! I look forward to reading more!
The words in this book are so very healing, they speak to you as a reader in a form of a literary hug you can actually feel. I go to this book often for a little extra self-love boost and recognition and validation of how far I've come on my journey.
You know how sometimes there are seasons when you give more to others than you give to yourself? This collection is for those seasons. To replenish the belief in yourself that you are worth giving to, too. This one's a keeper. I tabbed my faves and will be reading them like mantras for a long time.
I was given this book as a gift. What a special present! The words read as if they are being spoken directly to the reader. Within the pages are messages applicable to most everyone. Immerse yourself in the words. Read them out loud, and revel in the feelings.
I’ve never devoured a book as I did this one. Every word of every page resonated. I felt seen, healed, strengthened, empowered...I will return to these words again and again.
