Audiobook. Great idea and focus…has many many logical flaws. Focus on the big picture and take some of the statements with a grain of salt.

Remember comfort and joy isn’t bought…even though this book wants you to think you can! Keep your eyes on Jesus! ]]>

Audiobook. If you would like to hear an elderly person give a pep talk with no research or data backing, then this book is great for you. No real validation behind author’s statements. ]]>

Audio book. First 1/3 of book was a 5 star! Last 2/3 lost the point a bit. Being vulnerable and okay with it is a trait that can free us to do good works! ]]>

Audiobook. Some great concepts and snippets on prayer. Chapters are short and not dependent on each other. I think it would land better if I had done Kindle book…audiobook flies by things too fast. Also the older language made it hard to get deep into. Might revise review if I read it in print to see if slowing it down helps! ]]>
