Poignant heartfelt read about her love and faith in God April 5, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Denise Jackson's journey through love, heartache, despair, and ultimately happiness and spiritual awakening is truly a remarkable book. Through lean times she relied on love, through rough times she relied on Him. Now in happier times, she realizes that it always has been all about Him. She places all her trust in God and credits Him for never leaving her "I will never leave you or forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5), and making all things possible. "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13). A poignant, heartfelt read about love and faith.

I loved this book. I have even re-read it. Denise did such a good job. When you read the title you may think it is all about Alan but it's not. It's about God. The book has so many lessons in there for you to follow. I could relate to her stories. I do not have there fame but families are still just families---marriage and kids.
Not deep like it sounds March 19, 2008 Just like the others who have read and reviewe this book, I didn't put it down until I finished it. It is excellently written and shows exactly how relying on Him will help anyone. The best part is, it's not in a churchy way. Anyone can read this book and enjoy it.
Personally, I was looking for MORE in the way of DEEP...HIM, stuff, but, thankfully have already experienced that. I just wanted someone elses experience and account for affirmation. It just seems that in this world so many give up and move on. I thank God for being there for me, then and now.
Denise is especially honest about her codependency which is very common in early marriages, but isn't only found there. It is something that needs addressed with a lot of situations today (especially with our children in today's world).
She does an amazing job at keeping her personal life personal, while opening up about the most intimate of things. The end 3rd of her book is remarkable.
I hope you purchase and enjoy.
A friend said she couldn't put it down... March 16, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
And neither could I. It pulled at my heart strings and touched a chord that needed to be reached. Thank you for writing this book!
It's all about him...and my material possessions! February 16, 2008 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I respect Denise Jackson's spiratual journey and was happy that she was able to save her marrige. However, if you removed all of the references to the great "stuff" she owns this book would be two chapters long. I don't want to hear about her personal chef, the square footage of her homes, her rich friends, jewelry, or her young daughter's mini mercedes (that matches Denise's!!!).
She comes across as a very materialistic person--abeit a spiratual one. She might want to consider downsizing her possessions and focusing on volunteer work.
