Helpful Score: 3

While I found some of the passages uplifting, for the most part I found the author to be quite negative, judgmental, and self-righteous, even flat-out saying in several passages that her handicap made her a better Christian than able-bodied people, because if you're healthy, you WILL take God for granted. That's unfair and untrue. I also took issue with the fact that she said flat-out in one passage that if you are in a dead-end, loveless marriage, ending that marriage will damn your soul. That's... while I've never been through a divorce, I do not judge those that have due to unhappiness. I was not looking for something judgmental, self-righteous, putting-yourself-on-a-pedestal-above-all-"lower beings" type of book. I want ones that connect to my life, that help me feel more connected to God and that make me feel uplifted afterwards. Not... angry.
