My Review: When Lauren “LoLo” Scruggs was hit by a small plane’s propeller her life and the lives of those around her changed drastically. Here is their story of faith and hope in the face of tragedy.
Lauren ad her family tell their story of the events that led up to the accident and how they dealt with the overwhelming media attention and how their faith grew throughout the harrowing experience.
I loved how this book was written rom so many perspectives, letting the readers see the many angles of the story and how it changed each of them, and brought them closer as God worked a miracle in their lives.
I inspired by Lauren’s strength throughout the experience, and how even though she had her moments of despair she ultimately trusted God to work His will in her life.
Overall a quick, easy to read book that tells the Scruggs’ story. To be honest I’d heard of Lauren and her family before, but I had no idea what they were known for, so it was great to finally read their story.
My Review: A winning read, indeed!
Shawn Johnson tells her story from birth and adventurous youngster to top gymnast and finding a balance when some of the drama died down. Shawn opens up her life and her heart to her readers, as well as inspiring and encouraging along the way.
I immensely enjoyed reading Shawn’s storyas she shared from her heart the trials she’d been through as well as the joys. I liked how she shared about her faith and how she had grown in a variety of ways during different parts of her life.
The book had an engaging conversational tone to it, that made it feel more personal.
I think that my favorite parts of the books were the ones about the struggles she faced and overcame after the 2008 Beijing Olympics were over and how she found her sense of joy again.
Overall an inspiring read about faith, determination, love, and dreaming big. This is a book that shows the world the true Shawn Johnson. A book I enjoyed the whole way through, I highly recommend!
