Review by Jill Williamson
Kristen Anderson thought that this world would be a better place without her. In this book, she tells her story of how she tried to end her life by lying in front of an oncoming train. She should have died. But she didn’t. And as her broken body slowly healed, God healed her heart as well, showing her the purpose he had planned for her life.
This story amazed me. But at the same time, it didn’t surprise me. God uses what he must to bring us into his arms. I’m thrilled at what he has done with Kristen’s life so far. I praise him for the way her story is changing lives of broken people. Kristen’s story is a wonderful testimony of God’s love. This book is a quick read; I read it in an afternoon. And the story will encourage you to think about what matters most.
