This chapter on the importance of asking for and accepting help could've been combined with the previous on relationships. I really liked the story "Peanut Butter Love." "Dusty Trusty Guidebook" was trite and tired, and promoted the idea of plucking Bible verses out of their context and applying them to modern life. I don't agree with this, though the Bible can be a source of guidance if used correctly.

Chapter 5: Perspective was disappointing. All the stories were preachy, and none of them were terribly interesting. A few were actually condescending as they informed the reader of the great insight they were given in their "a ha" moments.

Chapter 3 dealt with cultivating relationships and their importance in our lives. All the stories were interesting.

Chapter 2's reflection questions were very interesting to answer. I took a little something from each story, except the last one. It was one of those typical "I was mad at God. Now I'm not, and I literally spend all my free time away from the kids in prayerful devotion." stories. I got nothing out of it, but I liked the other stories, particulurly "A Defining Moment."

This was passed on to me by my sister-in-law. I don't usually read this kind of self-help/improvement book. I'm wary of books that mention God on every page for seemingly no reason. The first chapter was a bit preachy and sappy, but I found one essay interesting. Also, each chapter ends with reflection questions that could be thought provoking to answer.
