Beth Moore is perhaps the most famous evangelical Bible Study author, especially for Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials. People think they know her because of her bubbly personality, big hair, and controversial Twitter presence, but Beth Moore is more than meets the eye. Her journey to following Jesus and navigating through Christian fame, acclaim, and cancellation, is long and complex and in this memoir she reveals things never before shared with the public. 

The first thing I will say about this book is that Beth Moore can write! And not just a book that entertains, but she crafts sentences, and paragraphs, and whole chapters that cause you to pause and reflect and marvel at how she is weaving together truth and emotion to paint her story as she remembers it. And there are some hard parts of her past, including sexual abuse in her childhood. But she writes about it in such a way that you feel her pain without having to know the nitty gritty details.

This is in my top 5 memoirs I have ever read, and I am even considering rereading with my eyes so I can highlight all the beautiful sentences she crafted. But I also highly recommend the audio because Beth reads it with her delightful accent that feels like a warm hug.
