Girl, Wash Your Face

So I made the mistake of reading reviews on this book. I had heard so much great feedback on how awesome this book was but then I read some bad reviews and didn't want to read it anymore. But after buying it I decided I was going to read it. And honestly I think a lot of the bad reviews were misguided. Most were “this is by a privileged white woman” “this woman preaches about one thing than describes a scenario in her life showing the opposite” and “this is supposed to be a Christian book but it only talks a little about God”. Well I found all of these, as I've said, misguided. Do not take the book by the woman writing it but by the words. Make each word similar to your life. The premise of this book isn't a rags to riches or a how to save your marriage or a praise Jesus. It's an uber successful woman (and life coach) telling her story in hopes that it helps someone. She's not just preaching...she's giving advice with her personal journey on how she got to that particular revelation. I think that it was very articulately written. I think that it has some wonderful advise (even some that I didn't feel immediately pertained to me). Every well written self help book can be made (in the right mind set) to pertain to your life. I think this was a wonderful book and it made me (after initially judging her by the reviews) very interested in her and her career and family. The motivation in this book is for you to make it happen for YOURSELF and I loved that.
