Amazing!! April 20, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This story is truly amazing- I received this book on a thursday from amazon and had it read by saturday- i could not put it down!! It is so heart felt and wonderful! The families involved in this were not bitter, but instead thankful to our Lord. A must read!!!
Same as interviews April 18, 2008 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
First, I have to say that many gave low ratings because of the religious aspects of the book. The book prolgue clearly states that it is meant to be a book about God - page ix says "This book is really about how God has sustained two families through His grace." If you don't want to read about their beliefs then this book isn't for you. I however found it inspiring to be a better person and to look to God and show my gratitude to God more fully and more often.
With this said, I gave the book a rating of 3 simply because it didn't contain anything different from the interviews from Matt Lauer and Oprah. The interviews were just to thorough!

Have not had the opportunity to read the book yet, but I have followed the story in the paper and on the news. One of the girls lived in a city closeby and was a friend of a friend of mine. My heart goes out to the families involved. Great seller with a great price for the book.
Amazing Story April 18, 2008 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I am a Taylor University Alum, and was a freshman at Taylor when this tragic accident happened. My heart and soul goes out to both of these amazing families. This book made me cry for joy and for sadness. This book was good for my soul. Their story is a testament to the fact that good things can come out of a tragedy.
Very Religious April 18, 2008 18 out of 28 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed with this book. The book should be in the religious section of any bookstore! It was so full of religion that it really took away from the story. While I understand and appreciate that the writers of the book come from a very strong religious background I feel that they may have put a little more thought into other people who might be interested in the story. Also the story didn't really explain how the mistake happened. I kept thinking that maybe it would get to this but it never really did. It really is a tragedy that something like this could happen but you won't gain any more insight into the events that took place by reading this. They also did not want to discuss the accident itself. While I am not into all of the gory details about such an accident a simple explanation would have helped the reader understand how the accident itself happened. Who was at fault and what were the events leading up to the girls being misidentified.
