Melanie is so relatable and real

I love how real Melanie is. She gives hope as she shares ways for us to become closer to our Father in Heaven and His son Jesus Christ through prayer, study & reflection.

Inspiring!

I wish it hadn’t ended. I turned to her book to help me bring the spirit into my day. She has inspired me to make the Book of Mormon the priority. I loved listening to Melanie’s stories and deeply felt her “realness”. I truly felt the love she has for our Savior and the Book of Mormon. Thank you for sharing with the world, Melanie. Sincerely, another Melanie

Loved it!

You will laugh and cry at the same time, like in the movie Steel Magnolias. Melanie has a gift of testimony and humor. It’s a good combo and a great way to spend one’s time. Her love of God, family, the Book of Mormon and the restored gospel of Jesus Christ are contagious. Her message motivates and inspires. Even if you have plenty of friends, you will find your self wishing she lived in your neighborhood. She is a gift from heaven.

Thank you for this book

I’m not much of a reader, so I listen to audiobooks and podcasts. I listen to the Come Follow Me for Us podcast and decided I wanted to read the new book. I downloaded the audiobook, and it was so fun to listen to. I appreciated the raw humor and emotions that were left in the audiobook that you don’t get with the physical copy. But After listing the audiobook, I wanted physical copy too! And I’ve since gifted a couple of copies because it truly changed my attitude and approach on reading the Book of Mormon. I’ve enjoyed seeing some of the notes that are listed there to go back on, and reference, certain things that were said in the book. I haven’t read the Book of Mormon much since my mission years ago but ever since reading this book I’ve been reading and even find myself looking forward to reading and having fun doing it. I have fun looking for things to mark and write notes about. Thank you for all the work you put into this book.

I'm going to leave this one permanently downloaded!

what an amazing and micro look at a life lived faithfully. I related many times to the feeling of frustration as I watch my own friends and family decide this church isn't for them. what a shot of hope and happiness in the waiting for the Lord to work in there lives this book has been. I'm glad audible left in all of the Melanie quirks I have come to know and love as a long time podcast listener, it made the audio book feel that much more genuine. Thank you for the gift that this book is.

Amazing

I have listened to her podcast since it started and this is like a very long episode with more in depth instructions on how to read the Book of Mormon! I love all her stories and references to the scriptures! I have actually made a sticker that says "PRWP" on my journal! Pray, read, write, pray
I love ya Mel
