Encouraging and thought provoking.  I could identify with many chapters and found this book very uplifting.  Some of my favorite parts were the scripture quotes carefully places in the just the right spot - wisdom and direction right when we need it. The author shares from her heart and the reader is given much to ponder and process along with great suggestions to some of life's challenges.  A must read for anyone who wants to take that next step on their journey of faith and growth.

Anne Firth Murray has written a truly marvelous and thought-provoking book, straight from the heart. It is hard to classify in one particular genre or another. Rather it is written in a unique style as a combination of a memoir, a good story, a motivational/inspirational book, and a manual. I really enjoyed not only learning about the history of the Global Fund for Women and all the wonderful, dedicated people that made it happen, but also learning more about Anne Firth Murray's life and the ideals she describes in her book.

It satisfies those who love good autobiographies and inspirational stories. And it also satisfies those who seek to learn about how one builds a strong organization from the roots up, from meaningful ideals to meaningful change. For me, this book was rejuvenating and energizing to read. It gave me new ideas and has inspired me all over again. I would think that each new reader who flips through its pages will experience similar self-reflection and inspiration in her or his own way.

This is a treasure of a book. I think it is a great book for all to read--young and old, women and men, and people working in all capacities. Students and young people are who starting out in pursuit of careers in human rights or in non-profit work will benefit in particular from the inspirational guidance that this book offers.

Brilliant and thought-provoking. It will move you to see the world in an entirely new way. Far from being depressing or sad, for me it is hopeful and inspiring. Centuries after we have lived our lives and passed on little bits of us will still live on in all of our descendants and their descendants and in some way great or small the world be changed and shaped because we were here. Besides that, our growing knowledge of genes and science will lead to a much greater understanding of the universe and everything in it. Much of what we are learning about genetics could potentially cure illness and ease human suffering. To me that is a much more inspirational message than a book about angry deities who punish us for real or imagined wrongdoings. I would recommend the book both to readers who are interested in science and to philosophers who are seeking deeper meaning in their lives.

This book was really thought provoking in all kinds of ways. It showed a look at many different ways of life and some of the problems in them. Yet it also showed and encouraged the reader to see the silver lining in these problems. In my life through this book I learned a new way to look at some of my problems.
It is very inspiring and hard to put down. I definitely recommend it for age groups of maybe 12 years old and up. Every age group could learn something from Bea or Allie, no matter which financial group you are in.

This book proved very inspirational to me.  It prompted me to look at my life differently, to realize that gratitude is not only about looking at the big things we can count as blessings, but the small things that are part of our daily life .... like memories, and things that shape our lives.  I now keep my own gratitude journal.  It's not dynamic reading, but will inspire as it is designed to do.
