Laurie is a speaker, teacher and writer that has the ability to write from experience in a way that helps people see the truths of God's word more clearly. People say she is "real," "funny," "relatable" and "so open and raw" in allowing people into her real life experiences in a way that they can relate to. It is clear from beginning to end that this book is written to help people draw closer to the God that loves them and has a plan for their lives. Each chapter has a clear lesson, with a "Personal Reflection" section that is perfect for individual reflection, or very adaptable for small group discussion.
