It seems like so many of the books I've read are about how to do life better in these 7 steps or how to make yourself better in these 10 steps. Either way it always seems to come down to me doing more, trying harder and in the end I feel that much more tired and worn out.
I like this book because it focused not on what I should be doing for God, but what God has done for me - what he thinks of me and what my response to that could be. Instead of walking away with a list of to do's for tomorrow, after reading this book, I have better sense of what God has done for me, to me, and how I should live from that today.
This book has shown me that God has a plan for my life, that he loves me and that life with God is a wonderful experience full of energy and passion. Because of this book I'm now not just trying to figure out how to have a better life, a better walk with God, a better relationship with my husband, family, etc., instead I've realized that if I start with God and Christ, who is in me, then living from that understanding brings all of those things and more.
Being reminded just how much God loves me has been one of the biggest eye-openers of my Christian life - I would even say revolutionary. My life with God since then has never been the same and that's a really good thing. When I once was tired and weary, I now have peace and passion for God.
To sum up, this book is great. Read it!
