"As someone who continues to recover from a legalistic background, I found this book refreshing in its biblical approach to exposing myths that often hinder our desire to spend time with God.

"Prepare to have God get your attention in an unexpected, personal way. I’m nearing my eighth decade and little surprises me any longer. This book did.

Leonard, author of With Each Passing Moment
