I think we all need to read books like this to realize what true suffering and true strength really is.

I would love this book. I’m from the midwest and have seen people fall apart and others become stronger during the flooding. Would love some insight. Thanks for this great giveaway.
i loike to read this book coming back from tragedy sound up my alley! Love to read!
This book sounds like a very interesting read. I to often think I have life bad when in fact I have it better then so many others out there.
Any challenge can be met if we feel fortified and supported. Having resources available – be it a network of people, reading materials, etc. is always great to have in your “coping toolkit”.
Thanks for running this contest!
This sounds like a very intresting book.

I think this could be a real eye opener. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to read this and possibly pass it on to my aunt. My cousin was killed in a motorcycle accident last year, this may help her.
My daughter’s 3rd birthday is Saturday! Great day huh?!
I think people have to realize that everyone goes through bad times at some point, and that they help us to appreciate the good times!
I think that this is a great wake up call to appreciate, appreciate, appreciate
I’d love to read this book. It would definitely make me count my blessings. I’d put it in the church library when I’m done.

My brother told me that after his first missions trip, he never looked at American the same again. It sounds like this book addresses our mindsets.
Thanks for your generosity!

I’ve had 2 surgeries in 7 months and I think I’m stronger because of it
I’ve always wondered why some good people have to suffer so much!
Hi, These are the type of questions I am always asking and searching for answers to! It amazes me also how people react differently to negative things that happen in their lives! Some rise above their circumstances and others don’t! Please enter me in your book drawing. Thanks, Cindi
