Official Review: Getting Through What You Can't Get Over

[Alice Heritage]

What an interesting book! Sounds practical in a lot of ways. Thanks for your lovely and honest review!

I think it will be useful for many people. Thank you for your kind comment!

I almost chose this book but wondered if some of the "nightmarish experiences" might be too overwhelming. The author does seem to contrast the difficult life experiences with positive advice to help one walk through the hard times. You did a wonderful job analyzing this book. Thanks!

Some of the experiences she describes would undoubtedly be horrifying things to have to walk through - I couldn't even bear to think too closely about some of them. I appreciated the way she avoided being graphic about sexual assault - she was so subtle that I wasn't sure what had just happened and had to go back and reread! Nevertheless, I appreciated the subtle touch. Thank you for your kind comment!

Self-help books are not my cup of tea. I will pass this one. Anyway, I loved your review. Well done, ButterscotchCherrie.

"The writer was too categorical in asserting that Christianity is the answer to everything. This could alienate those of other religions or none."
- This book seems to be Christian literature. Christianity is not a religious construct that is trying to leave space for any other so-called religions. Jesus Christ himself says that he is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and God makes it clear that He alone is God and all other gods are vain idols. The truth by definition excludes everything that is fake and a lot of people take offence when confronted with it because they rather not have to face it.
Christianity is about a relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, so the author is not wrong in asserting that we find the solutions to everything in life by growing in the Christian faith as we are getting to know more and more about the author of Life in the process.

Your review made me want to read this book. Thanks for sharing.

I very much like this comprehensive reply based on the Bible. I had to stop to read it, and I am glad I did.

This is a great book. I am amazed at how the author discusses Psalm 23. I would like to read this book soon. Thanks a lot for the enthralling review.

The image of the valley from Psalm 23 was powerful. Thank you for your kind comment.

Good review, I appreciate you warning us that the book pushes Christianity as the solution to everything. Even as a Christian that turns me off because that dogma doesn't have the answers I'm looking for. I rather prefer psychology based self help books and will skip this one. Those who are more religious would probably get a lot out of it though.

I think that's right. There is some other advice in the book, but it's all through that lens. Thank you for your nice comment!

Self-help books that rely on religion are not my cup of tea. I will have to pass on this one, but I am sure there are many people who can benefit from it. Great review!

Indeed, it's great for those who like that central theme. Many thanks for your kind comment!

Sounds to be full of much wisdom and an empathic tone that so genuinely conveys relatable emotions that so many of us can resonate with. Thank you for the review!

Indeed. The situations, though devastating, are somehow fairly common. Thank you for your nice comment.

I'm glad this book looks at the bright side of unfortunate events like loss of loved ones. Thanks for the review.
