Welcome to Litsy!

4✨ This book was about those that either had someone pass on who came back to comfort them, or those who passed the veil for a brief time. Those that came back provide encouragement that there is something else after this life. As a person of faith this brings me comfort that this life isn‘t the end. That those we love and miss who have left us are still out there waiting for our time. I wish this was actually written in the POV of the witnesses.

This book was amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #christiannonfiction #bookblogger #easter #24hourreadathon

Used this as a book to read and discuss in my church‘s adult Sunday school class. It wasn‘t something I would normally read. I didn‘t love everything it said or tried to do. But it did lead our group to interesting discussions and reactions. It is good to think outside of the box and hear from others.

I read this as a buddy read with one of the Currently Reading podcast hosts and I‘m so glad I did. Had great discussions with some other CR listeners. I like to read things from perspectives other than mine. This was written from a Christian perspective and I think we need more books like this to speak up for ending gun violence from a religious perspective. 4⭐️

After yet another mass shooting, I am glad to have done this reading last month. She‘s from a more conservative evangelical background than me, so I found it helpful to read how her perspective changed. The chapter on arguments against gun control was the best but I learned something from all of it. The book, which is half memoir and half an exploration of gun violence, is centered on her faith but I think any reader would gain from reading it.

I‘m reading this as part of a buddy ready organized by Kaytee Cobb from the Currently Reading podcast. (That‘s her IG post). It‘s one chapter a day, starting with the intro yesterday. The first part is memoir and the second is a call to action with facts about gun violence in the U.S. I‘m looking to learning more.
