Overall Rating

God led me to Naomi's book through my interest in her father's lectures. My heart knows her story, many of those she told of others and so deeply feels her desire for all of us to rise up to meet God in the needs of ourselves and in others. To give grace, the same grace God freely gives us. I find so much joy in knowing I am not alone in the world feeling as I do about myself, the grace withheld from me by others and the grace I fiercely desire to give more of because of that. I also find so much joy knowing I now have the gift of this book to share with others who will find the echo through her words in their own story, as I did, while reading it. I'm just so thankful for God, our Grand Weaver, and His love for all of us...His children. :) Naomi...I'm forever grateful for your honesty and the truth you boldly stand for out loud! Thank you!
