This book was incredibly interesting. I had seen the movie, but I appreciated the personal perspective. It felt repetitive and could maybe use a trim down, but I appreciated the authentic nature of the narrative.

Lift up your heart to Him during your meals and in company; the least little remembrance will always be the most pleasing to Him. One need not cry out very loudly; He is nearer to us than we think.”
