I have to be honest —I almost stopped listening to this book. Resentment is hard to swallow in large doses. There was a point at which it seemed like it would go on and on. But this book is actually very remarkable. It is a true diary and we are allowed into the deepest places of the author’s soul. It is a courageous book and it becomes captivating once the book gets rolling and especially when you enter into the later chapters. There is so much insight in this book —so much that leaves lasting impressions—her memories of childhood —and of her relationships after—that it is a very impactful read. The author also does a wonderful job of reading this—I felt like I was sitting across a table over coffee hearing her story. I was disappointed when it came to an end! Very unique and deeply meaningful book! With all this said, the only final reflection that I want to add is that there is a missing piece--the thought or consideration of "forgiveness" seems to be absent from this book. The focus of the book is on truth with a heavy emphasis on psychology. It is very well-described, but there seems to be no desire for relinquishing the gavel. This is not to minimize the crime. But to be truly free, and truly live in the light, forgiveness is absolutely necessary--otherwise, we remain the accuser and it corrupts our soul. This is something that God desires to help us with since forgiveness comes from God. Hopefully that will be the next step and perhaps has already happened. Matthew 6:14-15 - "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

This book presentation went so far beyond what I expected. To hear the honest story of James Taylor’s family history and beginnings in his own voice stirred my heart. Plus, he accented his story telling with his own guitar playing and recordings. A book could not come close to the affect. As I started listening this morning, I could not press pause so I listened to it straight through. I really want to hear the next book! Thank you, James, for such valuable honesty and insights about your life! Your story brought me to tears.
