I really enjoyed reading this book as a devotional. While I didn't agree with everything the author says, I found she says things in a way intended more to provoke thought than to garner agreement and so it wasn't really an issue if, after pondering for a bit, I didn't come to the same exact conclusions as she did sometimes. I found the author very relatable, and she led me to think about things I needed to and to slow down and make space to hear from God more often. This was a good book, and I was blessed by it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley, and I also borrowed the audiobook from my library.

This is a female-oriented book - even a feminist book in a sense! And by "in a sense" I mean than this book is about "waking up", leaving the place where you have been hiding (in your soul/mind) and be the who you have always been intended to be. By God. But I also mean it rides the nowadays wave of female strength - and I mean it as a compliment. Because even I, conservative Catholic woman, am in a need of working more on my female side - and this female in me is also a fighter.
But also the style is modern and some might consider it being a bit shallow and emotional - and while I certainly agree that it is emotional, I do not consider this book being shallow.
This book does not confront the traditional Christian ways about what a role of female is (well, maybe a bit, if you are from a really, really traditional Christian community :)) and it offers a solid teaching in my opinion. Its aim is be you in the wholeness of your dignity, sensitivity, creativity, freedom and in the love of God, Who sees us as His beloveds.

On a con side - I think some topics are repeated.

This book might lift you up and give you some new directions on your way to be a more and more of a woman intended by God.
