I found this book by accident at the library. I am not a religious person, but after glancing through some of the chapters, I was intrigued. The short chapters gave me insight into life and how to handle the road bumps we all encounter. I think anyone (Christian, Buddhist or Atheist) would find jewels within this book. I enjoyed it a great deal. Even purchased 2 copies as gifts. Read this book! The title of this book might lead one to believe that there are heavy religious/spiritual undertones in this book, and in some of the essays that is true. But, many of the essays are just about hope, optimism, finding strength, appreciating life, not taking things for granted, managing stress, etc. As someone who was raised in a religious family but isn't overly religious these days, I did not think the religious overtones in some of the essays were too much. In fact, I like that Brett admits her faith is sometimes shaky, and that she doesn't claim that it's the end all be all. It's just a lens through which she sees the world, but she is accepting and embracing of other perspectives. What I like about this book is the honesty, the message(s), and the variety. Everyone should find something in here that speaks to them and their life's journey. The 50 essays are all short (which is welcomed), passionate, thought-provoking, and sometimes inspirational. I revisit some of them regularly, and they help me strive to be more at peace with my life and the world.
