Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-13 00:00:00 Douglas Arbuckle This book is wonderful. All the characters in the book are like real people with real problems. This book teaches how wonderful prayer is, as well as the importance of supporting friends and choosing uplifting friends. The book teaches how we can ALWAYS turn to Heavenly Father in prayer and he will be there. He loves us. Heavenly Father hears us every time we pray. Prayers is such an amazing thing. I know that Heavenly Father listens to me every single time I talk to him through prayer. I would without a doubt recommend this book. There was one thing about the book I didn't like. The women in this prayer group had small problems along with many serious trials. The women prayed for themselves and they prayed for the women in their prayer group facing difficult things. All the serious trials and problems turned out fine, their prayers were answered just how the women wanted them to be answered. But sometimes our prayers AREN'T answered EXACTLY how we want them to be answered. Heavenly Father know what is best for us. He has a plan for us. We just have to have faith in him and know that this is how it is supposed to be. With faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, everything is going to be OK. This concept was not portrayed in the novel. * * * * * * * Read a great talk about prayer here: I love when J. Devn Cornish says, "I am led to believe that our Heavenly Father loves us so much that the things that are important to us become important to Him, just because He loves us. Prayer is one of the most precious gifts of God to man."

Review # 2 was written on 2009-07-27 00:00:00 Larry Hall After reading 25% into this book I am not intrigued or impressed. The herione is interesting but the writing style is very immature. At one point the herione is coming home from the womens conference and the writer writes 'Should I ring the doorbell or use my key'? A whole paragraph to describe a lady entering her own home is trite enough. My initial impression, unlike most reviews, is that the writer is determined to be preachy. I feel as if I am in a sermon on one page and then in a boring journal on the next page. I expect writers to eloquently describe feelings and situations and not just write words on a paper. The premise of the book is interesting, but there are too many characters to introduce in the study group. Four or Five would have been more maneagable. By the time she had gone through 4 introductions, I was bored with the new names, etc. Maybe the book will get better. I doubt it though. Since I like the premise but the writing technique is quite irritating. It seems very predictable and I glaze over most of the pages. A shorter book with less fluff would have been better at getting across the point.
