I Wanted to Like This Book, But...

Revisado: 01-13-22

I really wanted to like this book and was undecided from other listeners' reviews. I tried it and could barely make it through the first 2 chapters. I am a Christian, a wife, and a mother of 6 kids - so I don't have a problem with her religious views or her life experience.

I'm sure this woman is nice and has a lot of wisdom to offer, however--- This book reads like it was written by a grandmother, and not a middle-aged modern grandmother with an iPhone and frequent flier miles, but a VERY OLD GRANDMOTHER, who thinks that the main way women can express their creativity to the world is by crafting and being the best at cooking.

Besides the above, there are 2 main problems with this book.

#1 - All the information is vague and general. There are no strategies, tactics, or specifics. Example: "You must be organized." Then she spends a few paragraphs telling you why it's important to BE organized. She never discusses strategies for getting or staying organized. At the middle (I returned this book half-way through), there had been no actionable information presented.

#2 - This book is written in a VERY out-of-touch way. Many of her examples are about her being a grandmother whose busy schedule consists of church and bible study almost every day of the week. I don't think most women - even Christian women - can relate to that.

Besides the fact that she begins or ends most sentences with an affectionate address to the reader, such as "dear heart," "sweet sister," "lovely heart," etc., it is just so painful to listen to. I do not recommend this book to anyone. I don't even see how it could be useful to other grandmothers.
