This is one of the best books I've ever read. Ann is articulate and poetic and observant and real. The bible is imprinted in her heart, and she quotes from it effortlessly. She is a superb example to me of a good Christian woman trying to live a life pleasing to her God. She mentions attending a nondenominational church, so I don't know if she identifies herself with any specific religion ... but I think she's incredible.
A friend of mine sent me this link to watch her discuss her book for an online book club. I love that a simple farmer's wife (though not as simple as she claims) can be such a force for good in so many lives. She lives and breathes devotion.
I think this "book" review has become more of a person review. The book is full of insight into becoming grateful enough to come joyfully close to God. It's about the power of gratitude to open a life and open a heart to powerful potential and capacity. And it's so beautifully written.
5 stars, would recommend to anyone, will read again and again
I agree one hundred percent. I have given out a bunch of copies, your mom got one! I don't think she has read it yet but know she will love it when she does. I believe Ann is a Mennonite.
