I'm reading this book- it's amazing. I'm taking a 40 day journey, one chapter a day.

If you have read this book, or are reading it now and feel like sharing your thoughts about it private message me.

Love,
Joanna

I bought this book probably a year ago. Never started it tho......maybe its time to dust it off and get reading. Would it be good for my 14 year old to read. I got one for hubby too and wondered if we could make it a family affair???

I have got to make time for reading, darn, I feel like I haven't read in YEARS!

Hugs

I may have to try it...I read an interesting one called "90 minutes in Heaven" By Minister by the name of Don Piper. He dies in a wreck and comes back....he tells what happened to him and his Journey to wellness. I cried and cried and felt better after. Gave me a little hope and undeerstanding. Great book. Love Oma

Lori and Oma,

This is an incredible book for spiritual enlightenment, no matter what "faith" one believes. When I started the book I thought it interesting that in the first chapter it said to read a chapter a day but now, I understand why.

Lori, I'd dust those 2 copies off and get reading. Include your 14 year old if you can. Depending on where you all are at spiritually, he will either grasp it, or think it sucks. The book suggests reading it with someone but I'm reading it alone. It's quite a journey.

I know, I'm walkin the fine line here mentioning this book so would be happy to discuss it more via e-mail with anyone interested. My father reccomended the book to me, he's a theology professor as well as a wonderful Dad.


Love you all,
Joanna
