I am so very glad to be reading this book right now. (i'm a week behind...whoops) But it is really helping me with so many aspects of my life right now! My favorite part of the first chapter was "the grieving process" and how you explained the 5 stages of grief and how you handled them. My family recently went through the loss of a young friend and for a long time I was stuck in the "anger" phase because I didn't understand why God's plan would include such pain and loss for my family and friends. (I made my mom and dad read this section too, and now mom and I are reading the book together!)
However, everything was put into perspective when I was going through a sudden illness and I couldn't help but be grateful to God for taking care of me and healing me both physically and spiritually.
This quote really sums up what the first 2 chapters taught me; "We are given the gift of peace that comes only from perspective. Granted, we may never know why some things happen. Knowing why is a rare gift that God sometimes gives to us- it is not something we are entitled to. Faith trusts Him when we don't get our reason." -pg.52
THANK YOU LADIES!

"Faith is always a choice." This really struck me. In general I am a very high or low person with very little gray in between, extremely all or nothing. Unfortunately, I am like this with God as well in that I have short periods where I feel like I really know Him and He really knows me, but mostly long periods where I don't feel God at all. I think I have kind've given up after years of trying so hard. And that saddens me. Being a Christian girl is very confusing in the world we live in today. BUT ANYWAYS! :) I read the book and I was just truly blown away Ms. Jordan. It really really touched me. I have read dozens of books about God, the Bible, etc and I have NEVER had one touch me like WSFW. I just ordered "Radient" yesterday :) Though my best friend, who is like a sister, does not believe in God (or even try for some rela. like I do) I am going to buy her the book too. A guy she's liked for two years kind've rejected her without knowing he was. I think it will help her. Also, I think it will help her to hear from someone who is not mean in their ideas towards others (not judgemental) if that makes sense. ...thanks for listening to my life story! If you want the rights for the novel I will be happy to give them to you in return for a rainbow, a bowl of ice cream, a turtle and a lifetime gift card at Hobby Lobby!
