Love, Skip, Jump: Start Living the Adventure of Yes by Shelene Bryan

2.0

This book is supposed to make you take inspiration from Shelene's adventure filled life, and say "yes" to God. While her experiences are interesting to read, they were hard to relate to. There are not many of us who can make multiple trips to Africa every year to help those in need. And, while I understand that the poor of this world need help, it is frustrating that people seem to think money can solve the problem. In one example, a house is built for a family in Africa - what about the other people from that village, don't they get a house too? Distributing money to some and not others promotes inequality among communities and does not provide the means for people to be self sustaining.

I liked the authors fervour for God and enthusiasm to seek change, but I feel that she still places too much emphasis on her "good works" and does not write with a tone of humble gratitude.
