I really enjoyed this book. It very much describes the ups and downs of the inner Christian life. Although I am not a believer that all bad events come from God, I do believe that we are meant to draw closer to him in every situation. I almost didn't read it because of a review that said the reader was too fast and I listen to help get to sleep. She is an excellent reader!! Looking forward to more books by her.
One of my Favorite Books!

A wonderful book written by a faithful servant of God. All of Elizabeth Prentiss’ books are of exceptional quality both in her writing and in her Christian faith. Her works are needed now more than ever by girls and women who aspire to a closer walk with Christ in a life of fruitful service.

I know the book is fictional. Elizabeth Prentiss created a ârubber meets the roadâ account of the Christian life, though. Theresa L. Downey captures the essence in her reading. If you star listening to this recording, I hope you have time to keep listening, because that is what you will want to do!

I love this beautiful picture of a sinner saved by God's grace. The journey heavenward is one that is walked in the way with Jesus as He fits us for our eternal home.

What an amazing experience to hear a book like this. Never thought a fiction and a fiction of a diary could ever be so captivating.

Wow! What a book! Absolutely amazing insight at the workings of a (often!) struggling woman’s faith-walk. This book is very realistic in its portrayal of how the Christian walk often goes (it’s hard, there are trials and setbacks), and yet it also is very instructional and inspirational about how our faith in Him can be strengthened and how it does in fact grow over time. I love how the main character had a besetting sin that she struggled with for most of the book. I loved how her family loved her inspite if it. I loved how she ended up being a fantastic prayer warrior after starting her Christian life as an unenthusiastic pray-er. I loved how she realized that her joy was not in the things of this world but in Christ. The story does get pretty sad in the last quarter of the book. Lots of loss and grief.
