4.0

An honest, yet gentle look into the darkness that is part of this world and yet the hope and joy that Jesus brings to our everyday lives. This is a beautifully written memoir reminding us that God delights to draw us to Himself through the beauty of His creation. I loved that it has caused me to long to be extra aware of the details around me. What can seem mundane and ordinary requires only a change in perspective to realize its wonder! I want joy to continue to become an easier choice in my life day by day, and Ms Clarkson’s willingness to share her raw and tender experiences encouraged me as I read her story. (Of course it helped that I love her style of writing!) I recommend this one if you need a bit of reminding of the beauty that can come out of the ashes yourself.
