Awesome

This book is great!!! Recently, we had a very very tragic loss in our family. My 21 yr old brother, all American college football player with absolutely no enemies, was randomly attacked and beaten to death one night while leaving a store by a group of 6 guys. It was a gang initiation beating. I turn to this book everyday for support. It seems like every single teaching, applies to me personally so it's helped me a lot through these past couple of weeks! Especially during this struggle I have with losing my younger brother so suddenly and in such a cruel manner.
