Unexpectedly Engaging

Revisado: 06-26-21

We listened to this with my kids (10 year old son and younger) and loved it. We were on the edge of our seats. A few good laughs as well. Exciting and well written.

Insightful

Revisado: 05-23-21

Really interesting and helpful. An important conversation. This inability we have nowadays to disconnect makes creating healthy boundaries a whole lot harder. And when jobs are scarce and there's the fear that someone else would happily take your job for less money, nobody wants to respond "late" by refusing to work after hours. It reminds me of learning about strikes years ago where the owners would bring in new workers and undermine the strikers. I can understand the anxiety even though I'm currently a stay-at-home mom.

Powerful

Revisado: 05-23-21

Every woman should read this book. Seriously. She writes her story so beautifully and with so much wisdom, yet also in a way that is entirely relatable and touches the deepest parts of your soul. It made me cry multiple times. I know a lot of my more conservative friends probably wouldn't like her style, but I think they need it. They need her raw honesty about her sin. They need to see themselves in her story. I needed it. It's humbling and yet so very full of God's grace and incredible love that defies everything that makes sense. It's the gospel. It's beautiful. I wish I had a friend like her. I'm so glad I listened to her book.

Moving. Beautifully performed. I don't share all of the author's views, but it was inspiring to me.

Dark but Compelling

Revisado: 07-01-20

Too much whining from the main character.
Gets pretty dark.
Definitely not one to finish right before bedtime.
It is well written and compelling though. I guess it was the type of story she wanted to write. But the other Hunger Games books left some slight feeling of human warmth and redemption. This one leaves you feeling empty and hopeless. Good thing there's hope in Jesus in real life! Shew. If they make it into a movie I'll have a hard time not watching it. But shew! I'll probably cry and have nightmares after.

I wish ever person in the world had to listen to this book. Better sleep is making such a difference in my life. I have made numerous changes while listening and I feel better, have fewer headaches and overall aches, am happier, more energetic, etc. I am grateful.

Loved the Style

Revisado: 07-29-19

I loved the style, I guess because I find people so fascinating. I love hearing the honest, vulnerable feelings and fears and needs of the different individuals in discussing their own brokenness. I think Florence is very brave to create a work like this and share so openly about her divorce and the pain it caused her in a culture where we all want to look like we have it all together. I hope this inspires more people to not just to get outdoors (now I'm craving a good long hike or camping trip) but to be more honest and open about their struggles and failures and sin. And in response to people who were so hard on Florence for her scientific theory, who cares about all the variables? Being in nature IS helpful and healing, and it doesn't all have to be understood to the very core and explained with exact data. And I don't think she's claiming it will replace all other forms of healing. But it's healthy to get out in it for long stretches without focusing on our smart phones for once. We need to remember how important it is to experience things like calm, stillness, silence, wonder, awe, and real, deep conversations with other living, breathing humans. What a lonely bunch of people we can be while surrounded by people.
