UPDATE 7/12/2012: re- read this last week. Still love it, though I'd forgotten how all over the place it is..West jumps from present to past to recent past and back again-w/her stories, etc.. But I loved, loved her stories, her wit, her realism. I am going to read her other books now.




I loved this book. It was a sort of memoir, mixed with prayers and Scriptures that challenged me to pray more. I loved the Scripture she quoted in the book from Habakkuk 3:17-18

Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.

This verse says it all- even though it seems like the Lord is not hearing, not working, not doing, He is. He is working in your life. I recommend this one; it's a great encouragement for those despairing. And those not despairing too!
