All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir by Beth Moore

304 pages / 8 hrs, 29 mins

"An incredibly thoughtful, disarmingly funny, and intensely vulnerable glimpse into the life and ministry of a woman familiar to many but known by few.

"All My Knotted-Up Life is told with surprising candor about some of the personal heartbreaks and behind-the-scenes challenges that have marked Beth’s life. But beyond that, it’s a beautifully crafted portrait of resilience and survival, a poignant reminder of God’s enduring faithfulness, and proof positive that if we ever truly took the time to hear people’s full stories . . . we’d all walk around slack-jawed." --from the publisher

I laughed and cried and was thoroughly engaged in this autobiography of a woman from whom I've learned much over the years. She reads the audio version with all the emotion that is her signature. Four out of five stars for me.

The Journals of Rachel Scott Adapted by Beth Nimmo and Debra K. Klingsporn

The Journals of Rachel Scott Adapted by Beth Nimmo and Debra Klingsporn, 147 pages

This was a very powerful diary of faith written before the Columbine shooting in Colorado.  Rachel Joy Scott was the first one killed that fateful day on April 20, 1999.  Rachel was known for her strong faith in God and her kindness.  This book is Rachel's spiritual journey and her private thoughts.  She gave her life to Jesus and said yes to God when she was twelve years old.  Beth Nimmo, Rachel's mother, found the author Debra Klingsporn who was capable of interpreting Rachel's thoughts and feelings into this book.  This book also contained journal pages for the reader.  This was a very powerful book to read.
