“There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.”
― Leo Tolstoy
With that i say this is Greatness simplified. I picked up the book with the intention to just glance through and read well later, now I am not the one to pick up a book and finish it within 24 hours, but with each flip of the pages i was drawn in till i got to the end. The uniqueness of the book is how the writer(Salt) wrote about serious issues with such simplicity. With every fable, which isn't more than 2 pages, is a wealth of wisdom, deep truth and lesson.
Truths that resonate deeply and stay with you, while not missing the hint of humor in it.
The Simplicity makes it diverse for every age group to read, understand and "get" the message that lies within.
Personal favorite is the conversations with God because you get a few of your questions answered(I know i did) and you see yourself in the pages.
You can’t miss the realness of the writer, this way i was able to connect with the writer and also understand that because she writes to the world doesn't mean that she has it all together but she just knows a God that has it all together and that helped ease a burden off my shoulder and assured me that it was okay to have questions, it was okay to not be perfect, it was okay to struggle with your faith at some point. Thats why we need the confessions daily.
Before i read this book, i was walking in the dark about my choices, decisions and directions about my life and reading and speaking some of the confessions that are in the pages (Which i believe is from the throne of grace) put it all into perspective.
One of the most profound for me is "Although i don't feel better, I KNOW i am better"
Within the pages of this book are truths and confessions that every God Lover should know and confess on a daily basis thats why although i have finished reading through the book, i have not ‘finished’ with it, as i will keep on keeping with the TRUE CONFESSIONS!!
