Product Description

I would love to know what happens with Tracy and her high school basketball and if she goes on to play college basketball. Her ability to take a story and bring it alive on paper are incredible.

She so beautifully gave such detail into the lives of the characters that they become real. Her attention to details in the settings and time relevant historical information makes it even more compelling a story. I did not give it a perfect rating because I am left with some confusion and wondering.

Is this book promoting the idea of homosexuality as an identity? Does Pastor Charmaine believe there is a place for the homosexual lifestyle in the life of the believer?

Amazed by her Grace, Book III

What becomes of Tracy Sullivan? What a powerful story of love and anger. I am looking forward to a 4th Amazed by her Grace. One of the most moving, insightful and powerful stories that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Kudos to the author for truly bringing this story and [its] characters to life. I really enjoyed reading this book because it was different from all the other books.

Amazed by Grace

I found this book to be very very interesting. I also enjoyed reading from the perspective of Grace as well as Tracy. That definitely made things more interesting. I would definitely recommend! The author gives you an amazing story. Thank you Janet Walker for a beautiful novel. The child that was sexually abused is now the teacher of the younger one that was physically abused. I think the teacher may teach her more than the school subject, like how to overcome and…live thru the terror.

Loved the religious references being that I can relate. I was also able to FEEL the emotions as things happened with the characters. This book is a great read, and kept me wanting more. Time for book 2, then book 3. The storyline flowed easily and it provided a good backdrop for the characters development. It…had plenty of ups and downs. It had you mad at certain characters and rooting for others…. The cover art was great…[a]nd really made me want to get to the story.

This book kept me more occupied than book 1. To ask Janet Walker questions, please sign up. Janet Walker I don't know what "aspiring" writer means. You're either a writer or you're not.

You can aspire to become a published writer and I do understand what you mean by that , but a real writer's always a writer and will write whether she is published or not. However, to answer your question, I would say to any writer aspiring to become published: Get formal English training.

I am surprised at the number of people who believe they can write a book and haven't studied the art of writing! Second, read good literature. Can't stress that enough. Read the British and American classics, as well as the newer classics that include some of my favorites, such as Gloria Naylor and Alice Walker. When you read good writing, you absorb it and it affects what you put on the page. You begin to imitate who you're reading.

Eventually, you keep techniques that you like and shed what you don't, and you develop your own style. You must write and re-write. In the past, I always had to put aside a manuscript for a while--months, even a year--and return to it later to see if it read as smoothly as a stranger's book would read to me. Returning to your manuscript after it's cooled for a while is a good way for your brain to show you what is actually on the page, instead of what you think you wrote on the page.

I've also added a new way to revise: When I think I've reached final-draft stage, I read aloud and record the work. When I'm driving across country or lying down at night, I listen to it and hear errors in word choice or rhythm that are not evident from simply reading. I loved this book so much that I then listened to the audiobook CD of it.

I swear it was a phenomenal listen. I am grateful for Sheri Dew. I am grateful that she knows and understands grace--which she is sharing with us all. She mentioned the burden story of the guy in NYC, and also included it in this book. It still hit me hard. We all have burdens we have to let go of and give to God, but through His enabling power which is grace we can overcome by accessing the healing powers of Christ and His atonement. We do not have to suffer a burden on our own. We do not have to go through anything alone.

Some challenges don't go away, but by relying on Christ, His grace, His atonement, and putting forth our best efforts daily we can feel the load becoming easier in the circumstances where we cannot let go of struggle, challenge, trial, infirmity, and affliction. Because Heavenly Father makes weak things stronger.

Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman - Children's Read Aloud Story

I recommend this book to not only my friends struggling with grace, but to those friends struggling to know that Christ does make us whole because He loves us. Sheri Dew has an uncanny way of teaching clearly and simply. I feel like I finally have a grasp on what Grace is where so many other books delve so deeply into the topic that I get lost. I appreciated her opening up about her personal experience. This is an excellent gift book for Mother's Day! Sheri Dew shares personal experiences, words of the prophets, experiences of others, and scriptures to better explain grace.

If you've ever heard Sheri Dew speak or read one of her books then you know that this is quality reading. She begins her book by answering these four questions: What difference can grace make in our lives? How does the Savior make His power available to us? What must we do to gain access to the Savior's power? If you want a good resource on grace and to understand it a little better, you should definitely read this book! Amazed by Grace was such a wonderfully uplifting book. It expanded my knowledge of grace and reminded me of what I already know. It strengthened my beliefs and my desire to do as I should and to rest my troubles, challenges, and weaknesses where I should, with the Savior.

I loved what it focused on: The author shared a story about a man who was struggling with hurt and anger and related an experience he had one day while out cycling where a voice clearly said to him: You need to let it go. I already paid the price for their sins, your sins, all sins. I have already carried that burden. I did it thousands of years ago. There were several other sections that I loved and that touched me personally as well.

See a Problem?

I loved the stories and personal experiences that the author shared and the lessons she gleamed from them that she then, in turn, shared in the book. It was definitely an enjoyable and rewarding period of reading, and one that made me turn to reflecting on my own life. I would recommend Amazed by Grace to all Christians looking to feel more grace in their lives and to better understand it. It would make a wonderful gift, especially with Mother's Day coming up.

I would like to thank Deseret Book, the publisher, for my complimentary copy, which did not affect my review in any way. I was so glad to get it in hard copy. I found such great comfort in the words, again! I have already gifted it to 2 people in less than a week. How grateful I am for the insight of Sister Dew. I, also, received a greater understanding of the atonement when I read Brother Hafen's book on the atonement. Her words about the application of grace in her relationship with her father has also been my experience.

Her feelings in the temple when she felt so overwhelmed by her weakness has been mine too. I am challenged by trying to apply this grace in my life and Sister Dew's insights have helped me open my heart a little more.

Amazed By Her Grace (Amazed By Her Grace, #1) by Janet Walker

Through some really touching stories and examples Sister Dew teaches us that "grace is an enabling power. Have you had a tender mercy that made a difference in your life? Something that helped you endure a little longer?
