Bought for a friend

I bought this for a friend so I didn't get to read it for myself but I love Sheri Dew, so I'm sure it's great.

A short, easy read that will brighen your day!

This is the only book I have read from this author, but I was pleasantly surprised. My wife loves this book and I passed it off as a girly book. I found Sheri to be not only thought-provoking, but very genuine. This is one of my top five favorite books. It changed my thinking about alot of things in my life. I particularly enjoyed the following excerpts within the book: "Our mortal experience is designed to test what we really care about, what we really believe, what we really want to become, and how we really feel about our Father and His Son." Quoting Thomas Paine, "...the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly." "When we cast our burden upon the Lord, He sustains us either by helping us carry the burden or by ridding us of it entirely." There are many, many, more. This is a must read for anyone wanting to improve their life.

Great uplifting book

I bought the audiobook and found it to be a great uplifting listen. Sheri Dew, CEO of Deseret Book and also a previous member of the leadership in a world-wide religious womens organization, does a great job at sharing experiences on how to reduce trials in our lives and how to find joy in those trials that are out of our control.
