I was given this by a close friend that knows I love to read about the real struggles of others. This book was one of the greatest books I have read lately. The struggle of a man with love and with the struggle to make sure everyone was able to know the truth of the media. I would read this over and over again. I already have. I couldn't have Imagined the struggles this man went through just for love and his eagerness to make sure that the public was informed of the true facts of situations. I couldn't imagine setting down and talking to the author. With everything that he wrote; there must be so much that has been unsaid. I would recommend this book for anyone to read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!!!!

I couldn't put this down. Such a beautiful honest reflection .. thought provoking, lots of emotion ... and so real about the complexities we face when making big decisions, the certainty and uncertainty.. the fielding of other people's views/interpretations. The loss (I found this particularly poignant in respect to the writers mother in law - so sad). It is an important story shared with such compassion. It's brilliant and beautifully written.

It was also good for me to get a better understanding of Christianity in an African context.. I was brought up Christian, dabbled with atheism and now have what I think is a healthy curiosity about spirituality.. I don't have a spiritual 'home' but I love to understand more about the world's religions and spiritualities and how people engage with them.

It's brilliant!!! some of the most relatable music out there today. Great melodies and hooks, and extremely well written choruses. But above all else, it's just so completely HONEST & truthful!  I put this album on when i've had a rough day, and sometimes it can change my mind set by just hitting play.  Knowing someone out there is feeling what I'm feeling is a really nice reminder! Sometimes when your just stuck, and feel lost people need music that they can connect to and Science & Faith does just that. This album gives you heartache, loneliness, and hope all in one! If you are looking for real talent, great music, and a reminder that you aren't the only one out there, do yourself a favor and buy this album! Instead of listening to some auto-tuned junk, with a chorus that repeats over and over again, listen to Science & Faith an album that tells a story in just 12 tracks. The Script have summed up some crazy feelings into beautiful music, that I didn't even think could be summed up into words.  This album is incredible, and I can't wait to see what's more to come! Well done!

Heidi Siefkas comes off as one of the most honest, real, persons you'd ever meet. "When All Balls Drop" describes her experience of losing everything she held dear due to no fault of her own and her road back to health and normalcy.  She writes of her trauma and recovery in terms of gut-level emotions that most people can relate to even if they are too afraid to be as honest about it as Heidi. People who have found themselves beaten down by adverse life events will be inspired by Heidi's example of what one can do with true grit and determination. If Heidi can do it, maybe you can too.  She is inspiring, funny, and writes with an honesty that is refreshing. Thanks for sharing, Heidi!  I look forward to your next book!

This was my first exposure to this brilliant and authentic man. His honesty is refreshing and I can honestly say that listening to this has changed my perception of many things. He is the wisdom and life experience the younger generation needs to hear.

Presented in a Q&A dialogue, he speaks from the heart on everything from depression to education to spiritual life. I am in the process of listening to it again because I am certain there is more to learn the second time around. It is so powerful that I have recommended it to all of my friends, including my pastor.

The overcoming wealth of information and wisdom shared shows you that a hard life does not necessarily mean a death sentences in opportunities and success. This book should be shared and read all over the world for men and women. For women, Anika relates to the struggles women face everyday and how to overcome them.

Not only that, but men who struggle with addiction, molestation, or just failed at life can found light in this book as well. It is refreshing to know and understand that there is someone out there fighting for those who society has thrown away!! Cant wait for the next one!!

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book to review it.
The author creates a mirror of all our negative tendencies and wraps his own personal experiences into it to show us how to overcome those tendencies. The book is wonderfully written, but brutally honest. This book has no sugar coating whatsoever which is perfect since people need that honesty in their lives. I had a great time reading this book since it helped me look at my own life more honestly.  This book was brutally honest but great.

This book is refreshingly honest in the way it describes the roller coaster ride that is cancer. It is a combination of raw, gutsy, extremely wise with some bad ass thrown in too. It is an empowering read that leaves you feeling ready to face what  you are going through. I found the second half of the book to be incredibly hopeful and positive..in a very real way. I love how the author encourages you to use this time to find the REAL you, to feel your REAL emotions...letting you know that you don't have to love what you are going through but in a sense you can embrace it and be better for it. There is a lot of great information in here about treatment options and how you can take control of your health care. So often we are so scared after that diagnosis...we numb out. This book gives permission from someone very experienced and wise to help you broaden your focus during the treatment period when so much information is thrown at you, that  your head is spinning. I thought it was great that she talked about people walking out of your life when  you most need them too. Helps you to see it from a different perspective.  Excellent read!!

Amazing and inspiring and heartbreaking and real. The point of view is so fresh and refreshing and hilarious. Go Lindy!!! (I wish there was an updated essay on the slew of comedic creeps outed from #metoo! And their complicity during the rape jokes era...)

The book was a very honest and relatable book about romantic relationships. I loved how he talked about the cycle that many women find themselves in giving sex for the reason of seeking to receive love from a man, and yet not getting that. It is so vitally important that women of all ages know that there are men out there like the author rooting for us to make the right decisions and value ourselves the way that God has made us which requires us as women not to compromise our worth. If a woman buys this book for no other reason but to be encouraged to make the best decisions for herself because she is worthy of the best, it is worth it. Additionally, the author shares some insight on how finances should be viewed in the dating relationship and several excellent questions to ask male suitors that protect women and assist us in weeding out men who would otherwise waste our time. Get this book! :-)

This book was great! I had a terrible time putting it down! It was incredibly funny, and Im so glad the author wrote about this. I loved that it seemed so honest, she told good things she had encountered, and also "bad" things. If you can call them that. My husband and I (of 7 years) are just starting down the path of an open marriage and the authors story def gave me inspiration. This book is a fantastic read!!

This is an amazingly honest and insightful look into expressions, feelings and reactions to some very personal experiences that are real.  The creative method of sharing these feelings allows the reader to examine their own journey and find ways to connect with the author.  The book is empowering and nurturing for the spirit.  It shows how resilience is possible with faith and inner strength.  This is a must read!!
