1.0 out of 5 stars With so many good Christian books available, buy one of them, July 3 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Barefoot on Barbed Wire (Paperback)

Reading good Christian books is a glorious pastime for me, however, I hesitate giving this book even this high of a rating. I only give it anything above a zero because the front cover is attractive. It is the most poorly written book I've read in years. Save yourself the time and money and buy something else. I would venture to say, don't even borrow it from your library. In my opinion, it is a waste of time and money. I gave the book a good chance; I kept reading it thinking it must get better. Finally I couldn't take it anymore. There are so many well written books. Buy those. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars An open, honest look at fear and how we can overcome it, Jun 29 2001

This review is from: Barefoot on Barbed Wire (Paperback)

I enjoy Cindy Morgan's music and after reading the reviews of this book here on Amazon, I just had to get this book!

Cindy makes herself very vulnerable and transparent as she tells her story of her many fears, their possible origins, and how she came to terms with her fears. Cindy's mother was also a very fearful person and Cindy remembers her mother, unable to sleep, playing the piano and reading the Bible aloud in the middle of the night.

Cindy shares what she now sees as a compulsive, legalistic approach to reading the Bible. She felt she never measured up and she read Scripture out of duty and fear rather than out of a hunger for the Lord. Cindy lets you in on how she's worked towards resolving some of these issues, while admitting that she still struggles with these problems.

This book is not one of those "I had this problem, but now I learned this, and the problem is gone!". Cindy tells of a much more realistic situation and gives everyone who struggles with any of these issues a hope for a better tomorrow through Jesus Christ our Lord!

I admire Cindy for her honesty and candor. I also really enjoyed her writing style - her description of growing up in the eastern Tennessee mountains really helps the reader feel like they're there. I really enjoyed reading about her grandfather too.

Cindy Morgan is married to Sigmund Brouwer, who is the author of many Christian books (many are written for young boys - see coolreading.com). Cindy and Sigmund have a new baby girl named Olivia - God bless you, Cindy, Sigmund and Olivia!

Please check out my reviews of Christian books and music!

4.0 out of 5 stars Experience is relative, Jun 27 2001

This review is from: Barefoot on Barbed Wire (Paperback)

I'm a big Cindy Morgan fan and bought the book for that reason alone. (I figure, she can write good songs, why not a good book?) The experience of living in fear has only been a small portion of my 'life experience', but I did and do experience it to a degree. So this book was more of a healthy eye opener for me into the lives of people who battle with it on a more daily basis. (And I really enjoyed reading about one of my favorite female musicians.) It can help you too, whichever side of the wire you're on.
