Sometimes people need a little (or a lot of) guidance and like to see it all laid out scripturally to know that it's okay to make specific changes and it might be wonderful for them. I really think it's directed at a very narrow audience, particularly women who are overwhelmed because they have said yes to too many obligations and are just smiling and laughing through it while they're cracking inside or ready to keel from exhaustion. I'm at more of a "looking for things to do with myself" stage -- quite the opposite, but still stressful in a very different way. I think I would have loved it if the book had been a memoir, even though her life is very different from mine.

I used to read a lot of similar books on Christian living. It's just that . . . well, I'm older and I'm not in the kind of place the author is talking about. I'm not one of those people who is so busy trying to keep up with activities and save face that I hide the real me. I think it's a good book, really. But, yeah. LOL The title just makes you feel like, "Maybe God is trying to tell me therapy is a good idea?" ;)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-76264968202126739852013-02-20T10:39:29.283-06:002013-02-20T10:39:29.283-06:00I don't think it's necessary to harp on th...I don't think it's necessary to harp on the various changes that one could make in order to be happier, because I think deep down in our hearts, we know where we need to change, and what needs to be done. I would rather read a book about the courage to change when you have fear of the unknown, instead of something like this. I can see why this was a DNF for you though!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-26344131554201896372013-02-19T22:45:02.872-06:002013-02-19T22:45:02.872-06:00Lol!

Well, I'm not sure what that means but, yeah. Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.com
