This book is a must-read

I've just finished reading this book. There is something that I need to say. I'm so touched by the message of this book. It's a great read, it's so entertaining, the pages fly by, but it's so much more than that. Without being a "preachy" book, it shares the blessed story of the Gospel. It shares how we really feel when we fail, how we can never quite get a handle on forgiveness, both for ourselves and for others. It implores us to try and grasp the truth of being loved, no matter what we have done, and no matter how we see ourselves. It seeks to allow us to see the impossible, ourselves as loved unconditionally. These, and many more conditions of the heart are addressed by this book, and we, the readers, are able to use the story of Billy to see our own situation. Thank you, honestly, thank you. You have given my heart a chance to visit these elusive concepts again, and take hold of them in a new way. I will use Billy's story again and again, not only in my own life, but as I seek to help others.
