My review...
Detweiler’s latest is filled with stories from women
who have overcome many things, so there is likely to be something relatable to
every reader. In addition to the testimonies, there are numerous Bible verses
throughout to reinforce the message. There are also prayers and questions for
reflection to help the reader go even deeper. The author tries to demonstrate
how it is possible to pray with confidence, boldness, and grace, and find
freedom in Christ.
A twenty-one-day devotional guide to spiritual
breakthrough is also included, which is a nice addition to the book. Each
devotion includes a journal activity, a verse for meditation, the message, a
prayer, and a declaration. This section was my favorite part of the book.
That said, this book wasn’t quite what I was
expecting. It would be very useful in a women’s small group, and it is extremely
important to have a Bible handy when reading this, as many of the verses
referenced (especially those in the “application/reflection” sections) are not
listed in the book itself. Therefore, I didn’t find this as user-friendly as
other similar books I’ve read. However, there are links provided so the reader
can go online to access bonus material, such as journaling pages, videos, and
worksheets.

but I was not required to write a positive review.
