Oh my, Elizabeth – you’ve suggested this book at the best time. There is so much for me to take away, but also so much I’d like to instill in my daughter. On my must read list.

Thanks for sharing.

Ya, I’m going to go ahead and admit to the crying. Some of the things she wrote, especially in the last two stories, seemed like God’s very words spoken to His creation. His urging us to live as He has designed us to live. To love, to dance, to enjoy Him in the fullest. I was impacted greatly, to be sure.

I took this on our anniversary trip and finished it so fast because I couldn’t put it down. It quickly became one of the books that I could mark down as having a great impact in my life. She speaks on all the stuff I think, but didn’t quite know how to say it in words. I love the honesty and the depth in what are just short little accounts of her life.

Amen.

Jason wants to read the book too. I read him the last two chapters and we both cried. I’m pretty sure I’m giving this book to everyone for Christmas/upcoming birthday. Not to mention, I need buy myself a copy.

I think this is my favorite book. I think it’s one that I will read over and over again. She is so real and felt like it was so easy to connect with her. I read several chapters to my d-group girls last year and every time I read one to Jeremy I would cry.

I’m not suprirsed you read it so fast. I think I wanted to, but I also wanted to savor every chapter and only allowed myself one a day.

Jeremy picked it up off our “bathroom reading shelf” one day and read the whole thing (first book I’ve ever seen him finish!). I read the last chapter to him outloud on our way to the Setters on Saturday.

Somehow it’s so inspiring and at the same time comforting that I’m not the only one that feels that way or the only one struggling with life…
