Permission to Speak Freely

Posted on 19:31 by Unknown
I have been following Anne Jackson on Twitter for a while now. Not sure how it came about, but it did and I am glad. Maybe it was Don Miller or Los Whit or Brian and Promise Wurzell. Who knows?! Either way, I am glad that I began following her and I am even more glad to have read her most recent book.

As I stated a few posts ago, I am a book worm. I love to read. I love to curl up in the sun with a good book, my iPod and some lemonade. There are few things I love more than those serene moments on a blanket in a park with a book, some sweet tunes, and sunshine. Good thing I live in San Diego. Monday, was one of these days. And YES, I was working.

It was my job to sit at an info table outside by the harbor in the sunshine all day Monday and Tuesday. Rough, I know. From the moment I cracked this book, I couldn't stop. I laughed and I cried. Then, I laughed and I cried some more.

I cried tears of fear and tears of hope; tears of shame and tears of freedom. My story is much like Anne's, even in the most ridiculous ways. The theme in this book, is that you are not alone. No matter what your story, situation, or predicament in this moment... YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I am not alone. You are not alone. We are not alone.

No matter your faith stance or belief, I would encourage you to read this book. I can't wait to re-read it once I get through my pile of half-read books.

Read it.

In fact, if you don't want to bite the bullet and make the purchase, you can read bits and pieces on some blogs. Start HERE.
