Review:
I thought that the title was
appropriate - uplifting and inspirational! I love to sit down at
night and read about the tribulations and triumphs of the people I
share the world with. After hearing about all the sadness in the
world via the nightly news, I often wonder where all the upbeat news
is. Are people only interested in the depressing, horrible, and
gruesome? I do not think so, although that seems to be what sells
these days. So when I picked up this book, I knew that I was going to
enjoy it; only drawback, I was not a fan of the fonts used in the
book, I found it difficult to read at times and would have preferred
a less “fancy” script; even the font from the back cover would
have read better. However, overall, I found this book to be a worthy
escape from daily-life, motivating me to contemplate and strengthen
my relationship with God. Each of the twenty-three stories is
unedited, left as the storyteller wrote it, which makes this book all
the more inspiring. I loved every heartbreaking, breathtaking, and
uplifting story I read, but a few of my favorites were: “I Felt the
Touch of God”, “Still Some Good In this World”, “The
Promissed Story”, and “You Shouldn't Limp for the Lame”.
Healing and getting through tragic/stressful times is difficult for
everyone, but through Uplifters, readers learn from the experiences
of others – their hopes, fears, mistakes, coping mechanisms, etc...
Debbie Hoffman Nutile's inspirational compilation is truly uplifting
and worth the reflection. Highly recommended to those seeking a raise
in their spirits and a warming of their heart.
Rating: On the Run (4/5)
