Great author

Her books are always amazing, I’ve yet to find one I haven’t liked. Narrated great as well.

Amazing!

This book was pure gold! A beautiful triumphant story grappling with a serious trauma, and the Savior walking beside.

Much needed for this time.

This hit hard on a subject so many are quick to argue for. Not realizing just how far we've gone from viewing God's ways as the only way. There's always going to be a good reason to do something we shouldn't but to help us not have to make that call God made them for us. It's just our job to trust Him and be obedient and sometimes that is the hardest thing we can imagine doing but in our greatest pains Christ can birth our deepest joys and blessings and this captures every angle so well. There is no pure easy side to take, and to stand on one to beat down the other does nothing for no one. But there is a God who made His commands clear and that's all that we as a society should consider. And because we don't we've suffered greatly.

The wonderful expression of how abortion is so wrong in Gods eyes.

This is such a good story for those facing abortion or someone who has gone through it and has never fully healed, or someone who just has questions about it! Whether you believe in Jesus Christ or not, you need this book! This is so much what our world needs today! The reader was good and uses enough expression to keep you interested! May God bless.

God's love is so sure! never doubt it!

I loved the way Joe never said anything, he just let God show Dinah. God truly has a great mercy and love for us!

Faith in difficult circumstances

I liked the thoughts of scripture recited during the difficult moments when thinking about choices and Difficult decisions . This book could be a go to book for someone to read when facing such trying circumstances. I recommend this book.

Great story

The narration was hard to listen to. Story was great but the voice didn’t match the character

Fabulous

What a remarkable controversial book! It deals with a tough subject!
I absolutely love this book! The author made the characters so real ! I miss them already!
The performance was ok - I’ve heard better ! However the book is amazing ! ❤️

Wow!!!

I’ve listened to this twice now and as heart wrenching as some parts are, it is truly a story of redemption and what miracles can happen when we choose God’s way over our own. Even when it’s hard and makes no sense from our limited perspective.

powerful

This is a well written powerful story. A different narrator would have made it even better.
