I related to the shame filled attachment style...

Revisado: 06-25-24

Helpful to understand and relateable. I found that the authors understanding of the way things are to be extremely comforting and aiding me in the reality of understanding those internally and externally that God loves me.

Nuanced

I loved how subtle everything was and even though there were some cliches, the story and the character development just kept me ever so interested. I thoroughly recommend it.

Challenging to me

Revisado: 10-29-21

This book has challenged my understanding of the love of God for me and what it means to experience and enjoy it as well as to bestow it upon those who need it. I think I really need to understand better the love of God for me, and something about this book and its author have challenged me to believe that maybe God loves me more than I'm aware.

I was also very intrigued about the premise of the book, because the return of the Prodigal Son painting by Rembrandt is the centerpiece of what the book is about regarding Henry's spiritual journey and transformation. I'm pleased to see this progression in his life, based on a piece of art the Lord God saw fit to have made, because I too enjoy God's loving kindness through art, prticularly music of orchestral nature. It pleases me to know I'm not alone in this understanding of God's love for me as he whispers into my ear His love through music and now, Henry Nouwen's book.

Very healing for me.

Revisado: 08-07-20

I have a little boy inside who sincerely needed to hear these words from Terrence Real. They've been such a blessing and opened up doors and gates to healing I never thought were there. I hope it blesses whoever reads it.

One of my favorite books in high school

Revisado: 09-30-19

This book, and Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian were some of my top favorite books as a child in high school and as an adult now. Coming from a difficult childhood myself, I found love in these books that I didn't really find anywhere else. This book is a cherished memory. I'm so glad they finally have it on Audible.

One of my favorite books

Revisado: 01-03-19

Listened to over and over again. Love everything about the book and its presentation. The only other book that rides the heights like this one, for me, is The Man Without A Face by Isabelle Holland. And there's no audio book for that one, have to read it the old fashioned way lol.

troubled childhood story

Revisado: 08-08-18

I had a great difficulty finishing this book. I'm reading it for class otherwise I would have given up on it way before. the boy in the story is very troubled, though probably typical for American culture, but I still struggling to see how he got away with all kinds of mischief and bad things. I'm not sure what lessons he learned, or what all he took from it. But it's a story alright, and it's Tobias wolf's. PS, I thought the narration was rather dull and left something to be desired.

Worth the read!

Revisado: 01-05-18

I am encouraged to keep walking with my Lord after reading this book! As the author says, in various ways, it may be hard but the pursuit of Christ is truly worth it. I hope you find Him more, as I did, through reading this book.

Good, understandable

Revisado: 07-30-16

I thought it was okay, it was interesting enough to keep me going, although the story seemed a little black luster it was still good.

Wonderfully engaging and articulately written.

Revisado: 07-23-16

I loved that there was scripture in this book! You don't see that in fictional literature very often, let alone children/young adult fiction. The story kept me going and the way L'Engle described things made even the impossible to understand comprehensible enough to keep moving forward and enjoying the story.
