Candace Cameron Bure’s Dancing Through Life is a fantastic read for lots of reasons. If you’re a Christian looking for encouragement for living out your faith in your day-to-day life, this book is for you. Also, if you’re a Dancing with the Stars fan and you’re curious about a contestant’s perspective and experiences in the competition, there’s plenty to keep you engaged. Either way, Dancing Through Life is an encouraging read that reflects on Candace’s experience on DWTS while beautifully paralleling it to her life as a Christ-follower.
With that said, will you enjoy the book even if you’re not a DWTS fan? Most likely, but it’s hard for me to be sure since I understood and enjoyed the DWTS references. Will you enjoy the book if you’re not a Christian and have no desire to be one? Eh, probably not, but you could certainly benefit from it. :) (Just keeping it real for you!) If you’re a Christian and a DWTS fan, no questions asked, you’ll love this book!

A quick and fun read about Candace's journey on Dancing With the Stars. I enjoyed it immensely even though I didn't watch the show. She used her experience on DWTS as a parallel to the Christian life, offering encouragement to believers everywhere.

This was a behind the scenes look at Candace Cameron Bure's time on Dancing with the Stars. Interspersed are Bible passages she used to get her through her struggles. It was an uplifting and inspiring read.

Growing up in the 90's, I, like many of my peers, absolutely loved Full House. Though I was closer in age to Stephanie, I identified with D.J., and I really admired her portrayer, Candace Cameron. After the show ended (which crushed me, by the way), Candace married and stepped out of the spotlight. I sort of loosely kept up with her throughout the years, and then she began appearing more regularly on Hallmark films (which I'm a sucker for!), so I started paying more attention to her and her faith. Then she signed onto Dancing with the Stars, and I faithfully watched. Dancing Through Life details her time on the show.
I really enjoyed Dancing through Life. While a portion of each chapter traces Candace's Dancing with the Stars journey, the rest of each chapter is dedicated to the lessons Candace learned each week, and she shows how those lessons applied to her own life and can apply to other Christians.
I thought Candace came across as very relatable. Yes, her life is far different from mine, but the way she opened up about her struggles made her feel like any other Christian woman who is trying to do the right thing. I also found myself challenged by her; if she can share her faith and stand by her convictions in Hollywood, surely I can do the same in small town Nebraska!
Of course, I very much enjoyed the behind the scenes look at Dancing with the Stars—I've been watching off and on since the first season, so it was fun to see some of the inner workings of the show. I'm glad I had the opportunity to read Dancing Through Life, and I highly recommend it, especially for Christian women who love Full House or DWTS! 4-1/2 stars.

I am loving this book so far! I love that she uses scripture to back up her statements, and I feel like I connect to so much of what she says as a working mom. I'm also a DWTS fan, so it's fun to read about her side of it.
