Assessment:
Plot/Idea: This faith-based work opens each section of poetry with a Christian devotional to motivate and encourage readers. The author's reliance on poetry sacrifices some structure, and readers may wish for more personalized stories to drive home the book's main concepts.
Prose: The author writes mainly in religious verse, which makes the narrative heavy in places. The style is uplifting and inspirational despite a lack of complexity.
Originality: The bulk of the narrative is comprised of verses similar to religious psalms, and the author's free-flowing text gives the work fluidity and space for quiet reflection.
Character/Execution: The author offers readers creative introspection in an easy to follow format that will resonate with Christian audiences.
