This is not a chick book by any means. Ann Voskamp raises questions that every human being is asking. She tackles issues that we all struggle with. And she writes about life in a way that’ll draw you in and keep you riveted to every word.
This is simply the most well written book I’ve read in a long time.”

“This book is the Song of Solomon for our century.
It is a love letter between Jesus and a woman he has been wooing for a lifetime. And when we read it, we realize her story is our story and the love language she learns, is one we can also learn.
What woman isn’t desperate to be loved, to be cherished, to be showered with gifts?
This is the story of a passionate love affair with a God that is not a distant lover.
This is Mere Christianity from a woman’s perspective.
This book is the love song you will want to listen to on repeat until you know the words by heart.”
~Lisa-Jo Baker, social media manager for DaySpring

“I am undone. And praying I’ll find words to do justice to what I’m experiencing…knowing for the first time… I am not the same.” ~ (emphasis in the original) … Read the complete review at Brooke McGlothlin
“Yes, her writing is poetry. Many times I have likened her keystrokes to an artist’s brush, her screen to a canvas … and all that remains true. Certainly our Lord has gifted her with words, beautiful and poignant. But in this book, in these writings, when all is stripped away – when the stories are told and the listings are finished – what remains is The Gift … He is there. ” ~ (emphasis in the original) … Read the complete review at Teri Lynne Underwood
