Draw inspiration from this book and others...

Difficult times always provide us an opportunity to explore our own character and value system.

    MAGNIFICENT!!

    This book has taken me to depths of my own life that I dared to enter. This is the book for any person wanting to be human. I am forever in love with this book. I have never wanted to restart a book before I even got to the middle! Every single chapter has touched my life. I have passed it on to friends having their own personal healing, change, freedom etc.

    A charming book for understanding difficult times

    This is a charming book for helping to understand the difficult times everyone experiences. Lesser has clearly suffered and reached the sweet place of understanding the gift(s) that come through trying times.

    Life Changing if You're Ready

    What an inspiring book for anyone working through change. Some of the author's ideas are too "out there," sure. But weed out what you need to using your own faith as a guide, and learn from the rest. This book reminds the reader you're not alone, your experiences aren't unique, and there are answers to help you rise from the ashes of an experience that may have left you broken, broken hearted or simply scattered. I didn't want to put this book down.

    Things to take away...

    But books at times is a little new-agey. It's worth picking up and reading.

    A Real Break Through

    It's is hard to not like this book. It's one of those books that reminds us that when life hands us lemons that we should make lemonade. I just love it.

    For anyone who still feels bound by their anger, guilt, hurt or pain, I also recommend "When God Stopped Keeping Score." I thought that the book was just about forgiveness, I soon learned, it was about so much more than that. I was about how you should deal with friends, family and yourself and more importantly, how to keep these relationships strong when things go wrong. Having read it, I feel like a better person. Maybe because this book spoke to me and not down to me. I have read a lot of books that was written like I didn't know anything. What the author of "When God Stopped Keeping Score" does is talk to you like a friend. I needed that. You will understand why when you read it.

    Pretty basic

    I found the book started out strong and then settled into "average." I expecte more indepths stories illustrating how others came through their difficult times. However, the majority of the book is the author's detailed account of her story.
