I like the concept of the three Fs; Faith, Friendships, and Feelings. I don't usually enjoy poetry, but I hope I'd enjoy this.

The concept of this book is intriguing. I love the theme and how David crafted the poems despite how painful it is to lose a loved one. The poem truly gives hope to the reader. Great review

I don't think I would enjoy this book, because I don't like poetry that much.Your review is wonderful, and I loved the lines from the book that you included.

I love that this book is such a positive read. It's true that some poetry can read a bit on the heavier side, so it's great that this doesn't. It's also a plus that it is so well written and cleanly edited. Thanks for the great review!

Thank you for the review. It is very clear that you enjoyed the book, and I loved the quotes you added. I don't always read poetry, I sometimes find it too depressing or too la-dee-da depending on what it's based on. However, David's writing feels different and from the sample, I found I quite liked it. I will be adding this to my want-to-read shelf.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting collection of poetry focusing on faith, friendship and feelings. If you are interested in poetry, give this book a read. Well done.

This book is also very easy to understand. If you usually struggle to read or understand poetry – don’t worry. This one might be the one for you. The poems flew by and I found myself rereading a couple of passages because of how good they were.
I'm one of those readers, so I'm always hesitant to pick up a poetry book, even though I like them. But I'll take your advice and read this one! I find it very moving that the book is full of hope, despite the author's terrible loss.
Thank you for a great review, I loved the quotes you used!

This book sounds extraordinary. I can't wait to dig in and read through it. What would this world be without religion? In one form or another, we all believe in a higher power. I mean most of us anyway. It will be really interesting and am sure educational to see what the author's perspectives are? Thanks for a very informative and outstanding review.
