The book reframe was a great read. I love how personal it was, when the author shared a lot of his testimony and where the book came from. I learned through hard battles that God will never leave me or forsake me. It was through hard times where I was able to develop my prayer life, my bible reading and learning more about Him. It was through the hard times and battles, where I developed my relationship with God and wanted it to be more consistent.
