The illustrations are beautiful. I was transfixed. The book is more about the boat (Carpathia) that rescued the Titanic (as the name suggests) and less about the Titanic itself. The book has been in my wishlist for months and it has exceeded my expectations.
Foster’s Celebration was invaluable in my spiritual growth journey. The book instills in you the deep sense that these exercises are simply the foundation to obedient living. Excellent work. A must read!
This book is an eye opener to not to succumb to a marriage that doesn't work and you can't buy love nor force anyone to love you! There are so many red flags in relationships that one should not ignore🥺while reading towards the final chapters I saw a bit of myself in there but to wrap it all what an amazing sad truth this book has brought to all women out there who has lost self worth because we give it all n forget who we are and forget our dreams this book demonstrate clearly how some men can mirror you as a woman just for you to cover his inferior complex or feed his greedy desired!!
