The day this book arrived, I ripped the envelope open and just stared with excitement at my new book. My kids were playing quietly at the moment so I thought I would just take a quick peek at the book. Four chapters and too many minutes later, I realized I had to stop reading or I would lose the entire day to this book. Shauna Niequist had me from the first line of the book. She is honest, vulnerable, and so real. At times, I felt like she was looking straight into my soul with the words on the page.
This wasn't a typical book reading experience. I craved more of her words, insight, experiences, and wisdom with each passing section. I could envision myself sitting across from Shauna in a coffee shop as she told me these stories, rather than reading them in a book. The words flowed beautifully and easily off the pages. I found myself laughing out loud, crying, and smiling as I read the book. This is a life changing, attitude changing book that helps you define life as you view each day as a day to embrace, cherish, and treasure.
