I couldn't finish the book. The first paragraph started good, but it all went downhill from there. It got to the point where I felt physically ill every time I looked at the book. While, she makes good points, the author's tone in this book is very harsh, often judgmental. It felt like a scolding: "Do this, or God's going to get you!" "Do it this way, or you'll never have a real relationship with God!"

And it got to the point where I was afraid to pick up the book. I read When God Writes Your Love Story, which she co-authored with her husband, and I loved it, so I was really excited about this book.

Now, I'm just disappointed.

Because, while God certainly convicts us, He doesn't send us on a guilt trip. I felt like the author missed part of that message when she was writing this book. The book was written in a very condemning way. ( )
