She should know better than to pray to dead saints

I was feeling this book was not worth my time, but I tried to stick it out because she would say some inspiring things about God related to our bodies.
I called it quits when she prayed to St. Anthony to find her lost keys. That is idolatry and no joke. A teacher of the Bible should know better.

just okay

I didn't finish it. I liked the idea behind it, but not the reading.

No Go

With the popularity, I was surprised by its lack of depth. Would not recommend to a friend.

New perspective

This was a fantastic book! Tish's writing is warm, intelligent, and poignant. I was invited to see everyday annoyances in light of eternity - and I'm grateful for that. I've already recommended it to a few friends.

Ex Anglican who missed out

Speaking as someone who attended nominally the church of Ireland (Anglican) most of my life I fled it as soon as I was born again. This was mainly because of the (mainly political) unbiblical teaching of the church but also because the liturgical aspect just made no sense to me. It was just something you did pointlessly which made me feel distant from God. Now I feel I have missed out something, I have truly been inspired by this book! I don’t espouse many of the confusing practices of the author in the book which seem more lead by culture than the bible, but I can say this woman has shown me how to draw closer to God in a whole new way that I have already started. I feel sorry for adding some negativity to this review but am just warning others in my position that if you pick up this book you will be inspired but also annoyed sometimes lol

too much politics not enough of God's Word

I was unable to listen to this book in its entirety. I made it thru the chapter that had an agenda to promote fair trade and farmers markets. Both of which I agree are good things, but I do not care for a dose of hidden politics. The next chapter started and I chose not to accept marital advice from someone who dose not represent God's plan, presented in Genesis, also 1Corinthians. Just too much politics and not enough biblical doctrine.

Women Anglican Priest. All I need to know. Beware of false doctrine.

Even though I am sure there is good intention in this book, but it serves the Church of Jesus Christ nothing if we ligitemize liberal teaching of women priests who do not respect nor obey the teachings and commands of the Apostles of Jesus Christ.
