Admittedly, I didn't enjoy reading this book as I thought I would.
While I immensely enjoy non-fiction, real life, personal accounts of life, etc., I found that the author focused a bit too much on his weight loss in the book. Maybe I'm just biased because I have so much weight to lose.
Some of the stories he told were heart warming. I also enjoyed finding some humor in almost every chapter. I feel, for me, some of the experiences that Mr. Davis talks about in his book, for me, personally, feel unattainable.
I enjoy Mr. Davis' sense of humor and, even more so, the demonstration of the love that he has for his family. It made me long for a healthy, Godly, Father/Daughter relationship with my own father and, admittedly, made me envious of some of the blessings that Mr. Davis has encouraged in his life.
Albeit a little bit disappointing, I did enjoy this book as Mr. Davis has a way of speaking to the human heart and not just to the human head. My spirit needed touching and this book definitely did that. The 'real life' stories make God's blessings seem more tangible and closer to us than we may imagine. They gave me glimmers of hope through some recent dark times.
