You
might know Katie Brown from her books or her TV shows. She's a woman
who is not afraid to be real with God. She is a woman who sees Him in
the daily events of her life. She wants you to see Him too.
Brown
shares highlights of her life, events where she has seen the hand of
God in what happened. Events like being shot while walking a
sidewalk, skiing, a love-hate relationship with alcohol, adopting,
buying a house, miscarriages, and the impact of an aunt's bread
recipe. She writes about making a mess of a speaking engagement where
thirteen hundred were present. That woke her up and ultimately led to
this book. She writes about opportunities to make relationships and
show love, about giving up something you love for someone you love.
Brown
shares her stories with the hope that we will also never be afraid to
be real with God. She wants us to tell Him our foolish fears and our
idiotic immaturity. He will “help you walk onward and upward,”
she writes. (Loc 466/2826)
To
help us relate to the stories she tells, Brown has included questions
for reflection after each story. She also provides suggestion to put
our new insights into practice.
Perhaps
the main message of this book is included in one of Brown's practice
suggestions. “Stop, breathe, notice, and reflect on the signs that
are right in front of you that prove you are not alone.” (Loc
1936/2826)
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
