I'm not that into poetry, so I won't be picking this one up. It's just not my cup of tea. This one is going in the no pile.

Interesting review; it's been ages since I don't read a poem book and this one seems a very good one considering the spiritual factor.

I disagree with your statement that you don't have to be Christian. I read the sample and it was very rooted with God, way too much for me who isn't Christian.

Poetry detailing the author’s personal journey may be a draw to some readers, but not for me. However, I do like that the author includes poems about God’s love and the beauty in nature and the universe. Thanks for the honest review.

This sounds like a great book. Poetry has always been one of the nicest ways to express thoughts. Given that the book is not considerably long, I will give it a try. Thanks for the review.

Although this is not my type of book, I can read it for the poetry and some inspiration. I really like the author's views on self-love. The review highlights all the major themes of the book. Thanks for the lovely review. I enjoyed reading it.

This sounds like a great collection of life through poems. The sample on Amazon was full of great poems.

I’m not particularly drawn to poetry, so this was hard for me to relate to. Seemed the author was trying to portray something of deep significance to her life, although it came across as lighthearted and somewhat whimsical.
The author knows how to put good verse together as it flowed well and made for a good read.

I think it's awesome how open the author is about her faith through her poems. I'm not up for reading a compilation of poems right now but I will consider for a potential future read! Thanks for the review.

I read the sample and didn't really like it that much, but then again, I'm not a big poetry fan. Either way, your review is really good! If I had an interest in poetry, I'd go on and trust your opinion. Very well written, I love how you describe the content, which seemed impossible to me, yet you found a graceful way of doing that. I also like how you pinpointed to phrases and themes that the readers might enjoy! I'm learning so much from the official review of the team. Thank you so much!

A tranquil and inspiring collection of poems that acknowledge God as a result of the writer's faith and believes. Definitely worth checking out.
