In reply to floyd. I think you'd like this one, Floyd. It's good reading for both a man or a woman. :)

This sounds like a must read for me. I fight those same tendencies. Thanks for the intro!

In reply to BettieG. I'm guessing this could be a very encouraging book to your friend who might have to spend time in prison. Bo really tried to embrace the journey (not that he wanted to!) and glean all the lessons he could from it.

In reply to June. Reading this book did make me better appreciate my freedom. I really can't imagine life behind bars. :( I met someone last Saturday who was telling me about his life, including the couple of years that he was "um, on vacation, so to speak." That's how he defined his prison time. We laughed about it; it was a new way of phrasing it.

In reply to TC Avey. Sounds like God is really speaking to you, TC. This is hard stuff: "I can’t skip to the beauty without experiencing the ashes." Praying for us all to better learn to receive God's grace and submit to the process. Hard but important!

Such an inspiring, heartwarming story, Lisa. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I’ll surely try and look for a copy in my next trip to the bookstore.

Wow, this sounds like an amazing read. I might look into it further for a friend of mine who is facing possible jail time later this summer. How beautiful that God brought His Grace into such a hard and difficult place. Thank you for sharing about it here! Blessings to you!

That is one thing I truly fear, losing my freedom. But because of that fear, freedom isn’t something I take for granted. It’s so encouraging to read stories like this, examples of God’s provision, truly working all things for the good of those who love Him. Thanks for the great review, Lisa!

Learning to receive God’s grace and submitting to the process isn’t easy. God’s been talking to me about the process this week. I can’t rush it. I must walk through the valley…no matter how long it is. I can’t skip to the beauty without experiencing the ashes.
This sounds like a great book. I’m putting it on the top of my reading list.
