Lacey Sturm's heart is definitely in this book, but I'm afraid it doesn't come off as either a great autobiography or a great testament to Christianity.
As a biography, it starts well, but follows a disjointed and disorganized path. Some aspects of her life are ignored, others developed and then abruptly abandoned. For example, the first quarter of the book is about her life with her mother and siblings. Then, without ever mentioning that she had a stepfather, he enters the picture and advises her to move in with her grandparents. She does, and her mother, stepfather, and siblings are never mentioned again through the rest of the book.
As a testament to faith, her heart is certainly there, but the message is extremely simple, and repeated far too often without any further development.
Go get her CD "Life Screams", or one of Flyleaf's albums when she was the lead. She's an awesome singer. But for religious inspiration, look for a book with a bit more depth and organization. ( )

I absolutely love this book. The title "The Reason" says it all. Through Jesus Christ, Lacey Sturm was able to find the purpose and reason for her life. I highly recommend giving this book a read. ( )

A must read for all young women. Love this girl. ( )
