If I had more than two thumbs I'd put 'em all up!

I had heard about this book on a morning show a few weeks ago, and then again on a friend's blog after that; so when I saw it in Walmart at the beginning of this week I bought it. I am not too much of an avid reader, but for some reason this week I have read through two really great books. This one, however, is the probably the best I have ever read. After getting about a quarter of the way through it I had my friend Jessica over to give her a massage. I really wasn't wanting to stop reading when she came over so I thought for the heck of it I would see if it was available on itunes so I could put it onto my ipod. To my surprise it was only $3.49!!! I asked Jess if she wanted to listen to a book while she was getting massaged and that I would start it from the beginning. We both became completely captured in the story an hour and a half into it so when it was time for her to leave she needed to know where to go get it so that she could finish it. I gave her my book and told her I would finish it on my ipod. By the end of the night we were both finished. (big huge sigh) WOW.

I loved this book.

I love the fact that the guy who wrote it wasn't even an author. I never usually get emotional during books. This time was not "usually". I laughed. I cried. I got chills. I felt angry. My heart hurt. My stomach hurt. I felt convicted. I felt embarrassed. I felt joy. I felt peace. I felt filled up completely. It made me want to change some perspectives that I have on some things. Anyone who has ANY sort of difficulty going on in their life right now, any struggle, any past guilt or shame, any feeling of hopelessness, worry, fear or any desire for comfort and direction. This. is. the. book. Even if you just need to know you are loved with no strings attached. Get it.
