It was a turbulent time full of sharp contrasts—love and hate, pain and pleasure, trust and doubt. Then, just as I reached my peak of questioning, rebelling, and seeking, I found God. And I found Him in a really big way! My life turned completely around and has, thankfully, never turned back. Hopefully this story will touch and change hearts—speaking to teen girls right where they live, reminding readers that God is alive and well and ready to be intimately involved in their lives right now!” —Melody Carlson.… (más)
This was the first book I read in the Kim - Diray of a teenage girl series.
I totally loved it!!!!
I learned allot from it, about God, and walking in a relationship with Him.
Except it wasn't too preachy or anything, and It totally made sense.
I could relate to Kim, and she seemed so real.
After reading this book , I went on to read other Melody Carlson books, but this still remains one of my number one favorites from her.
I was actually thinking about starting some kind of Melody Carlson discussion group or something at my liabary, because I want to talk to other girls my age who read and love her books too!
But anyway,
You have got to read this book..It really touched my heart and it sent me on this whole exciting, new journey with God. And i hope it does the same or something similar for you too.
