This book is a real look at life by a person who 'had it all' and watched it all come crashing down around him.  Forced to face his deepest fears, the author gives a thoughtful reflection on his past, present, and future. His journey through a near-death episode with undiagnosed diabetes results in his emerging from the experience with renewed faith and a return to meaningful values.  In this chaotic world, it is a great book to help you get back on the right track of your own.

My Review:

 As a woman I know how hard it can be to be the answer to everyone's problems but when we need help or encouragement it's hard to find someone to be there for us. This really becomes evident when you become a wife and a mother. Liz Curtis Higgs seems to understand the struggles we go through as women and in her writing I have definitely been able to find solace and even encouragement through my daily life.

 In this the latest of Liz Curtis Higgs she encourages us to memorize scipture and she insures that once we have a reread that same verse for the second or even third time we will have a deeper meaning and feeling from it. This is God's intended purpose and He wants us to grow closer to Him in many ways and Scripture reading and memorization is a better way to connect to Him.

**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the author. All opinions are my own.

A recommended read!  We all have times in our lives where we feel distant from God.  Lifeless.  God truly wants us to come alive and grow strong like a large deep rooted tree (Ps 1). Each day in this 31 day study has hit me square on.  It has been such an encouragement. It will make you laugh and cry! When I finish it I just start over again at day one.  What a blessing with talk of prayer, worry, forgiveness, Christ's love, and especially for me the miracle of life with grace!

If Pillows Could Talk is a great source of encouragement for anyone who has ever felt rejected, cast down and backed against a wall. It moves the reader to press forward inspite of hardships and disappointments. It is easy to read and understand. Once you start reading it you will not put it down until you have finished the book. This book speaks loud and clear the message that 'You can rise above the odds" if you don't quit. It also lets you know that God doesn't use your past to determine your future.  Thank you Dr. Brown for sharing your life experiences and encouraging men and may I add, women,  to get up out of their sorrows and move forward because we were all created to succeed.

This book is an easy read and is both inspirational and uplifting.  You don't need to have a child with autism to get something out of their story, and I have purchased several copies to share with my family and friends.  Susan and Patrick openly share their lives and reflect upon how God has blessed them through difficult times.  Their positive and optimistic outlook is refreshing, and their story is one of triumph and success.  The book contains many scriptures which are applicable to any life circumstance.  Susan and Patrick are an inspiration to all and I anxiously await their second book updating us on what Patrick is up to.

I loved this book!  I found new hope and inspiration for finding more joy, and for giving myself fully in the important relationships of my life.  Thanks for the fresh thoughts and the encouraging presentation of how to both see clearly what is, and to anchor into what can be.

I just finished reading this book and it is awesome!

It is packed with uplifting, positive tips on how to get going with our daily lives, plus great bible verses and thoughts on how we can be wise and productive every day.

I love the way Sarah writes. She is funny, honest, and positive!  Moms who stay at home, usually can have a sense of loss of identity as women maybe on their career because of the choice of staying home and taking care of the family.  This book brings us so much light on how we can be happy doing whatever we do.  We don't need to get grumpy or frumpy being too "relaxed" to the point of staying on our pj's and even going to the grocery store in it.  We are working women as much as anybody else, and we can get ready and dress up in the morning, and go do our jobs beautiful and pretty.

I also love the biblical content.  It is just on target to make a positive mark on our daily devotionals, positively making us to get out of bed, get dressed and pretty for a great cause. That is for our families, our husbands and our awesome God.

This book, subtitled "My Story of Hope and Healing for Every Woman Who Has Felt the Heartbreak of Rejection" was part memoir, part recovery manual and every bit an encouraging and uplifting read.  Kimberley Kennedy tells her story with honesty, vulnerability and hope.

The book outlines the story that in so many ways, has defined her life.  Engaged to a wonderful man and hours away from beginning her life as his wife, he breaks it off and leaves her heartbroken.  Kennedy shares her heartache but focuses on the way she rediscovered not only her faith, but her loving and personal God.

This book was interesting and engaging on every level.  Just when it seemed like it was about to get bogged down in a section on advice, the author switched tacks and told another woman's story or shared a Scripture verse that changed her perspective.

I enjoyed this book, even though I didn't feel it spoke to me or my life right now.  If I was currently struggling with rejection I think I would find this book to be life-giving and extremely encouraging.  Whether you are desperate for some hope or just want to be reminded of God's great plans and power in all of our lives, you will enjoy this book!

This book is a great source of encouragement.  Ms. Oglesby shares some of her personal struggles and how God remained faithful.  And she provide a strong foundation in this book for others to rest upon as they face the challenges of life.  You will be blessed and encouraged as you read.  It's a great reminder that we "pass through" our challenges. It's easy to read and maintains your interest from front to back.
