I found this book both encouraging and thought provoking. I enjoyed reading Melinda and Kathy's personal stories about different topics. I really liked the Lovin' Spoonful (prayers, Bible verses, encouraging quotes and thoughts) sections throughout the book. I also liked that the end of each chapter had the Stirring Your Thoughts (questions to think about) and Let's Get Cookin' (suggested action plan) sections. It is so often that self help books have lots of great ideas, but don't give suggestions as to how to start implementing those changes into your life. I highly recommend this book!
