Colleen's Critique

You don't have to be angry all the time!

Revisado: 08-15-24

In today's cancel culture, Christians are given the perfect opportunity to be a breath of fresh air as they live the gospel message of grace received, grace given. This is a book I will listen to often. As a former high level volunteer in our church, I've been struggling to find my purpose outside formal ministry. This book is wind beneath my wings, pointing me back to the daily opportunities that exist right under my own two feet to offer up a huge serving of kindness as I, moment by moment, make the choice to not be so easily offended. I'm not a negative person and I wouldn't describe myself as angry, but I also think I could be a better dispenser of joy juice in so many little moments life brings my way. It's so fun going about my day looking for opportunities to not be offended by people's unthoughfulness, selfishness or insensitivity in general, and to surprise them with grace. Great book to help you rise above and enjoy the new point of view! Thank you Brant! You have blessed me with a new ministry!

Escape to A Leper colony for a reading oasis!

Revisado: 07-29-22

At first I wasn't sure I could deal with the shock of this woman's plight as she is rushed off to a Leper colony from her glamorous Hollywood life style, but as the story unfolds and you begin to get to know the characters in the story you begin to realize, just like the main character does, what really matters in life isn't things, but our efforts to build quality of the relationships with the people we journey with no matter our circumstances . I was really sad when I had to bid farewell at the end of the story!

Fast paced crime story telling at it's best! A

Revisado: 07-07-22

I'm a big Ann Rule fan but at times I tire of climbing the mountain of details she includes in her stories. Kathryn Casey is a breath of fresh air helping the listener reach the pinnacle of truth without the minute details unnecessary to tell the story.

Dixie didn't cut it for me

Revisado: 11-04-15

While the story is a one of a kind crime (don't want to spoil it so that's all I'll say about the crime) the writer lacks the polish and poise of the more skilled story weavers in the field of crime stories such as Ann Rule. Maybe a few more books down the road this author will be someone I'd give 5 stars to, but much work is needed until I could give my highest rating. Read it because of the uniqueness of the crime if nothing else.
