A Girly Book

The Edge of the Divine by Sandi Patty

“Edge– the point at which something is likely to begin”. As Sandi Patty writes of her journey through bariatric surgery, she mediates on times in her life where an edge presented itself and she had to decide whether to jump or return to the familiar past. The book is full of short memories used to analyze how God has worked in Sandi's life, depict the changes she has been through, and share joyful life stories with her readers.

I have been listening to Sandi Patty with my family since I was a child! I really wanted to like this book, but I could not get into this book. It was hard to follow her train of thought and piece together what purpose she had for telling specific stories at certain points in the book. Often it seemed she went off on small tangents that did not relate to the main topic (the beginning and end of the chapters reflected the title of the chapter, but the middle was tangential and scattered).
