Angie is really funny, but she constantly interrupted herself to go on long tangents that were meant to lighten up the text; instead, they were just distracting - her humor and her anecdotes were never related strongly enough to her main topic to be insightful or memorable.
(I got the impression that many people who have read Angie's other books must have not understood her sarcastic, snarky sense of humor, and so she felt the need to over-explain her humor in this book.)
My favorite part was actually the exact same message I heard her give in person last year - she delves into the story of Abraham when he's about to sacrifice Isaac, explaining that Abraham told his son that God would provide a lamb and in the story, it's a ram that is found in the thicket. She relates this back to her own life:
"My eyes were locked on a thicket instead of a cross. I was relying on a promise He never made me. And even when it feels hollow, I force the words because I know there is power in the truth. Satan comes in the most broken moments and he whispers lies and asks me if I'm sure God is for me. Am I sure He is good? Am I sure He provides? There is power in truth, and I shout it with my soul - No. I am not sure about the ram. But I am certain about the Lamb. The enemy of my soul will not convince me that my circumstances reflect the way God is providing for me. It is simply not so." (p. 167)… (mehr)
