This is an amazing book. I like the fact that author is not promising quick fixes to life problems. Great to read the review, and I am adding the book to my 'want to read' shelf. Thanks for the review.

I've seen this style of writing done many times, and I'm glad to find a work where it is done well. Often sequential short stories leave a disjointed feel, but from this review, it sounds like this author has done this well. I'm not the most impressed by the cover. From a cover artist standpoint, I would have overlooked this because it seems too text book like.

In this situation the author is not wrong, whoever you want to be born into a broken family, but what you do is help improve the family in a way that is good, patient, praying, to be a happy family.

Thank you for this great review. This is one to add to my bookshelf for future reading.
I agree with you! Much of our trouble is us! And this author does a great job reminding us of this. I appreciate your kind comments, and thank you for reading my review! 😊

The title grabbed me. The cover kind of speaks to the nature of the book. Simple and easy to read, yet so impressive. Thanks for reading my review.

I was at-first captivated by the name of this book. The write-up was excellent in intriguing the reader. I will definitely read this book based on a curiosity of the struggles the young man experienced, and wanting to know how he broke the cycle of disfuction.
