From the story, Lexi is a seventh grader who is actively trying to find her way, both in her relationships with friends and family as well as God. She writes in her journal to tell God what happened that day. At the end of each chapter, there is a little love note from God with some relevant-to-what-happened-today verses. The author also includes a directed devotional section with room for the reader to write their own letter to God. They also help the reader to come full circle, ending each journal entry by asking them to write how God can resolve the challenge. There is also a "God, thank you for...." and "God, help me to..." that are relevant to that day's journal entry (both by Lexi and the reader.)
The story is great; the idea is interesting; it is well written and fun and poignant and touching all at once. On a personal note, the author had me at "....the grand prize (for a school fundraiser) is a limousine ride and a pizza lunch with up to three friends at Pizza My Heart." - which just happens to be my all time favorite pizza place! When I read that, I knew it was going to be good.....and I was right.
I was provided a free copy of this book by Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for my honest review which I have given here.
