This book was a great reminder to slow down on focus on my spiritual life above all else. Everything else will fall into place. There were a few chapters that didn’t really apply to me because I don’t come from a broken home, but overall there were some great points.

Not for me

Completely rocked my world.

Good book! It has given me lots to think about. I will need to go back and reread it someday to see how much I've grown.

There are some good points in this book, but I thought most were pretty basic and not eye-opening. Reading through the book felt more like I was being reminded of something than learning something new.

While examples are supposed to support and enforce a writer's ideas, I found Scazzero's examples doing the opposite for me, mainly because he didn't pull a lot from scripture. His ideas seemed to be more rooted in other people's ideas and random events. He even used some fictional examples (in one chapter section, the main example was from an animated movie), which I didn't find credible.

I also would've liked it more if Scazzero dove a bit deeper into his concepts like The Wall and a Rule of Life. In most cases, he seemed to just mention things and move onto the next section. Maybe the purpose was to keep the chapter sections concise and digestible, in that case it did the job.

This book is super practical and has so much good wisdom! I’d love to read it again slower/with a group of people and really digest it. Would recommend to anyone looking to grow as a Christian!
