Last month I signed up for this book challenge giveaway at Sarah's blog. Not long after, this book arrived in my mailbox.
So in receiving this book I have agreed to write a review about it. So here goes... (keep in mind that although I love to read I am no English major or teacher. I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words)

I have enjoyed this book. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first (but how can I pass up the chance to get a book, I love books) because I enjoy reading "self-help" books and some fiction and this doesn't fall into either of those categories. This is written as a bunch of short stories about the author, Shauna Niequist's, life journeys.
She has lived a very full life and she is still very young. She shares the good and the bad with the reader which made me appreciate her even more.
In one of the chapters she talks about traveling to a foreign country without her parents along. The whole idea of that would have scared me enough to not want to do it but she enjoyed it because her parents had prepared her so well for it.
Another chapter talks about her battle with her weight and not liking her body.
She also has a chapter about a special bond she has created with a group of teenagers, while she was a youth group leader, who have since grown up, married, and started their own families.
I recommend getting a copy of this book for yourself.
