About the book:
Christ doesn't just make up the difference. He makes all the difference. "I'll never do it again," we say, and then we do it. In a world full of challenges, temptations, and even addictions, it is easy to lose hope for ourselves and those we love. During times of discouragement, we must remember that the purpose of the Atonement of Jesus Christ is not just to cleanse and console, but also to transform - and that takes time. Christ is not waiting at the finish line once we have done -all we can do.- He is with us every step of the way, and His Atonement will be available as long as the perfecting process takes - continually. This book offers valuable insights about God, Christ, and our relationship with them. (Good Reads)

My thoughts:
This book is actually a compilation of quotes from leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The Mormons), Scriptural passages, and inspirational stories. The author worked on this compilation for approximately ten years and then decided to put it into a book. The book is inspiring as well as comforting. The most comforting aspect of this book for me was to discover that over the course of my lifetime, through my own study and experiences, I have learned the same things about Christ and the power of the atonement for myself. Nothing was new or a surprise to me. I feel a deep love and gratitude for my Savior and reading this book reaffirmed my faith.
