Ms. Agard writes honestly about her experiences, and seems genuinely intent on helping others lead more full-filling, God-focused lives. Unfortunately, her format and content don't quite pull off the intended goal. First, as other reviewers have mentioned, Ms. Agard is LDS, though this is never clearly stated in the book. As a result, the book is full of terminology and facts that come across as rather odd because the reader lacks the context to make sense of them, such as the "Sister" this and "Brother" that for everyone, the missions/missionary references, and the fact that their church owns a cannery.The book lacks any kind of organizing themes, often seeming to be little more than the author's short journal snippets for the day. That's not inherently bad, except that the constant topic jumping and seemingly random material in the entries does little to enlighten the reader to the supposed point of the book. While she certainly makes her point about focusing less on ourselves and our assumptions and more on serving others and looking to God in all things, about 90% of the book does not appear to have much to do with, let alone support, this theme.My only other comment is that if you read this, please do so with a grain of salt. There were several parts that set off alarm bells in my head. For example, after she explained to her husband that part of her privileges as the wife was to decorate as she saw fit and proceeded to do just that, despite his admonition that she not use certain things or put holes in the wall, I was expecting some kind of lesson or glance at the Bible verses about respecting one's husband and a reversal of that attitude, but neither came.
