Beautiful story

Revisado: 08-31-19

Most of us know the bones of this story, but to have it fleshed out made it very real. It recalls a time when evil struck the US hard. But then goodness rebounded and truly won the day in Gander. The tale of these good folks and their guests brought me to tears over and over again. If you’re feeling bad about human kind—I would wholeheartedly prescribe this good read.

No huge surprises, still...

Revisado: 07-26-19

There may be no real new information here, but hearing it laid out like this encouraged me to be much more mindful of expressing kindness in tangible ways everyday. Who doesn’t need such a reminder? Though I initially got the Audible version, I then bought the paperback so that I could go through the high points again. I also bought one for a friend, and it’s one of those books I’m sure I’ll be handing out frequently. Winner!

Heartbreaking and hilarious

Revisado: 02-03-19

If you’re comfortable with your long-held beliefs about compassion and who is or is not deserving, then by all means, do not read this book. But if you’re up for rethinking those ideas, shifting the paradigm and maybe even getting your world rocked, then this is for you. Kind of the perfect combination of Bob Goff and Brene Brown.

All the feelings.

Revisado: 01-29-19

A wonderful redemption story that will make you laugh, think and maybe cry a little.

Almost

Revisado: 10-15-18

Story was convoluted but fun. A couple of small details that just didn’t make sense (one simply having to do with a physical attribute of a specific dog breed) bothered me. And I didn’t like the fact that Joy/Sydney was not careful about who/when/how she had sex with someone. Maybe I’m a prude, but she came off as not smart about her personal life and even slightly slutty.

Best yet

Revisado: 07-27-18

This is likely my favorite in the series thus far I even liked the resemblance to the movie alluded to early on in the story—although it did creep me out a bit. And I was nervous about the outcome. I think that’s all I can say. Well done.

So much wandering.

Revisado: 07-24-18

My least favorite of the series to date. So much wandering, both physically and metaphorically, that eventually I just didn’t care anymore. But then, no one hits a home run every time at bat. (And as usual, my advice that the narrator check his pronunciations, especially regarding place names. Other than that, excellent job!)

First off, I have to admit, I love Jen Hatmaker. That being said, I think this is by far her best yet. I laughed and cried and thought deeply--in the first half hour of the book! I love that she reads it, that she gets choked up at a couple of points, and that she is every bit as sassy as my own family. Relax, sisters, you can love Jesus and still be a bit snarky. If you are a woman between the ages of 23 and dead, read/listen to this book. It's a delight, and rich in all the things that fill our hearts.

I love Mitford

Revisado: 12-26-16

A warm, thoughtful, spiritual story that I have read numerous times. The Audible edition certainly did not disappoint, and was the perfect antidote for the stress and sadness of the past month. I love Mitford and will return over and over. (Also excellent reading. Loved it!)

A winner!

Revisado: 09-05-16

Maybe my favorite Chet and Bernie story. Peanut adds a wonderful dimension as well as introducing the idea of humane treatment for ALL animals, but particularly those who aren't always on our radar. Well done, Mr. Quinn, another winner!
