      From first glance, this book had the promise of being another shallow, best-life-now, following-Jesus-is-perfect-hair-and-puppies feel too - the type of book that lines the shelves of any modern Christian bookstore. I abhor books like this. They usually say nothing of worth, create emotions that give the illusion of nearness of God while simultaneously telling us we're okay without having the change. This book its share of this. There is lots of Christian jargon, lots of affirmations and comforts and southern charm. This book stands on the precipice of trite fluff not worth the time to read the back blurb. Oddly enough, what saves this book from being another in a tall pile of "Chicken-Soul-Soup-Fluff-n-Nonsense" is Kacey herself. Her story has power and the way she tells her story has power. It's unusual to find a Christian woman in a place of leadership who has walk through what she has. And I'm not talking about tragedies - I'm talking about clear-cut sins. Kacey is honest about her sins. honest about the pain, honest about the consequences, and honest about her repentance. She is forgiven and she knows it, and more importantly, she lives it. Regardless of the what else is in the book, this is a powerful message that many of us need. Not only are we forgiven, but the people around us desperately need forgiveness too. Christians are eager to gossip and put-down those in our midst who fall into sin, and we forget that we are only a step away from that ourselves. Kacey, by sharing her story, reminds us to love one another, and that all of us our sinners. Some just hide it better than others. In addition, as a trained counselor and an experience teacher, her instructions and admonishments have a practical side not often seen in these sorts of books. Looking to our past to better understand ourselves, our present and our future is important, and has merit. While I did not complete the workbook, many other women in my Bible Study did and I highly recommend doing so. In the end, this was not my cup of tea, but I am glad to have read it, as it is a valuable resource for many women and I will recommend it if I feel that it can do a person good.

      Van Norman reminds us once again that, despite all our troubles in this life, despite all we suffer through, we are loved by an amazing God.We need that reminder.

    Note to Leaders

    So, you have taken on the bittersweet task of facilitating a small-group Bible study. Although some of you who carry the title group leader do so with your crowns firmly in place, propped up by years of positive experience, others may be feeling your crowns drooping a little toward the back. You may even feel like you’ve forgotten your crown at home under the hamper loads of laundry and a sink full of dirty dishes. In fact, you might find yourself the reigning Ms. Small-Group Leader only because you chose to scratch your head at the exact moment the director called for volunteers!

    Several years ago, I must have scratched my head at the wrong time during a women’s ministry planning meeting at my home church, because I found myself stuttering and stammering through a twelve-week small-group study as the facilitator of fifteen ladies, all of whom were at least five years older than me. I remember breaking out in hives before, and breaking down in sobs after, each session. I found myself doubting everything about my ability to lead a group made up of (big gulp) Christians. I didn’t feel mature enough, experienced enough, knowledgeable enough, and certainly not righteous enough, to hold such a title, yet it seemed the Lord had, once again, seen fit to shove me out of my snug and cozy comfort zone.

    Because I sensed the Lord’s hand in it,
