Review:
I thought this was a very interesting book. I have many times struggled and this book gives some practical advice on ways to over come your struggles. I also found it very easy to understand. It also makes you think and see how you are really blessed in your life. It also showed how you could give back and it doesn't have to cost a lot - you just have to give a little of yourself.
I think that if you are struggling, in debt or want to know how to start giving back this book will steer you in the right direction. This book will make you feel that you can help change the world, just by giving a little time. It made me want to do more volunteering and has showed me I have a lot to give!
I received a Copy of this book from the author for
purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for the
review, and the review is honest and my responsibility.
