    <body><![CDATA[WOW!  This was so wonderful.  I'd been a bit hesitant to read it because I was told it made you feel guilty, and &quot;guilty&quot; always has such a negative connotation.  It definitely made me look at myself, and helped me recognize some weaknesses, but I wouldn't say &quot;guilty&quot; was the ge...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47986824">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fabulous book.  It is a great book to learn about forgiveness and how to forgive.  I always thought that this book was meant for people who had made grave mistakes then I picked it up and read it.  It truly shares inspired stories and scriptures to help better understand the atonement and also our r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13765560">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[this book has several problematic issues. The main one being that is is just silly bigotry. Masturbation leads to homosexuality? Homosexuality leads to bestiality? Is Kimball for real? I am amazed at the numbers of raters to 'love' this book. Are they saying they actually believe such nonsense?

    <body><![CDATA[No doubt.  This is a tough read, but that is really only if you look at one side of the lesson Pres. Kimball is trying to teach.  Yes, sin is awful and messes up our lives but forgiveness is possible and although it may be hard it is worth it. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a hard book to review. The teachings it contains are intense and controversial. President Kimball depicts a rough road from worldly ways to a Mormon sense of purity and righteousness. Even by many who love the book, it is often regarded as a painful read. Its high place in the literature of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59796760">more...</a>]]></body>
