Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-15 00:00:00 William Costello This was a wonderful book by christian author and Bishop T.D. Jakes. It is a story of a couple who seem to have everything; good careers, faith, and good friends within their church. However, when their daughter goes missing everything is in question and painful pasts get revealed. It is a book about hope, regrets,and learning to forgive through faith.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-06-05 00:00:00 Gregory Rak This book was okay. I read the 20th anniversary edition and watched the video clips at the beginning of each chapter. I remember someone giving my mom this book as a gift when I was little. I'd heard so much about it since then that I just knew it was a book every christian woman needed to read. I was disappointed. I have never been a T.D. Jakes fan so I was kind of skeptical about reading it but since it is so well known I decided to make this my first T.D. Jakes read. This book was all over the place. I do not think Jakes is a good writer based on this book. Perhaps I should have asked the Holy Spirit to open my eyes as I read it but sometimes while reading I would be like "what is he talking about?" It was like he would be on one topic then start on something completely different and just never go back to what the chapter was supposed to be about. I also did not like the way he tries to tell us what to do as women. I am all for encouragement but there are some things in our lives that are going to take more than reading a book to fix. Jakes is a man and will never understand how it feels to be a woman. The thing about these self help books is its so easy for the author to write it because they have not gone through it or they are living the grand life now so even if they did go through it they don't remember how hard it was, all they can see is their grand life now. Not only is Jakes living the grand life but he's never even experienced the issues he writes about that us women have to pull ourselves out of. There were some bible stories and scriptures that were helpful and I may check this book out from the library again but I would never buy it, wouldn't recommend it, and I think it was extremely overrated.
