My Review:
I really liked this author's writing style. She is honest even at her own expense. There are many lol moments, the book has a lot of humor among the spiritual truths. I have blamed Eve many times in my own life. There is a sentence on page 46 that really resonated with me. "Ever since the garden, humankind has been on a mad rampage to fill the creeping brokenness that pervades our lives." It made me think about what I use like food to fill the spot inside of me that was created for God by God. This is my first book by this author but not my last. Recommended. :)
Susanna Foth Aughtmon is the author
of All I Need Is Jesus and a Good Pair of Jeans and My Bangs Look Good
