I honestly believe I was not the same girl by the time I finished reading this book. I didn't feel as shy and I had a joy and confidence within. I would say this marked my first time hearing about the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering me and being with me in the everyday life and it revolutionized my thinking and walk with God. Great spiritual insight put practically for how it relates to daily life. I read it over a summer school holidays when I was 14 and I honestly believe the year that followed was different. Very grateful for this book.
