Have you ever completely goofed yeah thats what happened for me I thought I was getting this book from one place and then another and then another. I have been confused. The long story made very short is you should never judge a book by it’s cover, publisher or otherwise. Just read the book and decided if it is a good book based on its content and the writing ability of the author! That was a huge takeaway from this book and that was way before I ever opened it! and I’m not even kidding!
I must confess due to misconceptions I avoided the book for a few weeks! Then we left on vacation and in the moments I had to read I could not put this book down. I have fallen asleep countless nights holding this book and woke only when it fell and smacked me in the face. Inevitably after the third or fourth attempt I give up but HONESTLY this book is powerful!
Kathy Izard Life was different than most. she opens talking about her mother’s struggle with mental illness. this was powerful for me because over the last decade this has become Avery big struggle for many people in my life. I love these friends dearly but this opened my eyes to how the children really struggle. This also really affected her faith walk as well and as you walk through the book with Kathy you watch as God pursues her and she is transformed. and how God uses all of these pieces from her life in the formation of Moore Place. a Place to help the homeless of Charlotte North Carolina.
As I said above I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Kathy Izard is a skilled writer and I was very much gripped by her ability to be so transparent and honest about her life. You could tell she was not trying to make her life seem like something it wasn’t’t . I loved her honestly about how she was feeling in pretty much every area of life.. I really have nothing negative to say and I would read more by her if she ever writes more!
If you want an encouraging and uplifting story this is for you!
I give it five stars!
