I received a copy of this book free of charge from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review.

I really enjoyed this title. Anne writes with an authentic, gentle, inspiring way which oozes gracefulness. I was so thankful to get glimpses into her life and others who have been through periods of hurt. Not just hurt from anyone but those who do claim to be believers in Christ. This kind of hurt carries a level of pain that is deeper than any other kind of hurt. It is because we are connected in the family of Christ and should be in unity with the same goal that this kind of hurt catches us off guard.

The truth is we are all sinners and we are not God so we will at times behave in ways that are not godly. Think of the time period of slavery, this was a period when Christians would justify this horrid practice using even the Scriptures to back them up. This was not however God's plan or how others should ever be treated. It is like this today as well. As long as we are living in a sin stained world, we will inevitably hurt one another at times. However, we must consider, what is it we are to do with that hurt? This book addresses this topic fully. It is encouraging and inspires forgiveness. Like I stated before it just overflows with God's grace and most importantly focuses on what really matters in Christ Jesus.
