Everyone from Utah gives this five stars; everyone from elsewhere gives it three, so I'll buck the trend and give it two. I might have given it three if the poor proofreading hadn't dropped it a star--the main character "pours" over a book, and the author does have some confusion concerning the difference between "its" and "it's," which really is inexcusable in a book that has been published.My main problem is with the characters and all that happens to them. Each of the main characters always seems to have the nicest thought, the most pure motivation, and never seems to question any of the other main characters. This in itself isn't bad, but it just doesn't seem completely believable, and I can't put my finger on why. I had the feeling all along that the narrator was telling me the best possible version of a story, whereas someone else might have mentioned some things that he left out. This is basically a story of a likeable young man who's very insecure finding his confidence and security through a girl, not through himself. It also reads often as an excuse to throw in some philosophy here and there--really profound wisdom coming from the mouths and minds of kids in their early 20's. Things just never fit for me.
I actually only reached the end because I was curious to see if there would be anything redeeming in it, but as someone pointed out, it's an extremely abrupt and uncomfortable ending that leads into a sales pitch for book two, which costs $2 more than this first one. I really didn't care if the two main characters ended up together, and I cared even less for his two friends at college, especially the liar who was proud to be a liar.
All in all, this left me feeling empty and a bit dismayed that I had spent so much time on it for no really good reason. The writer has talent with his prose style, but the story-telling and the flow of the narrative and the character development all seemed forced and formulaic.

Courage Love and the Meaning of Christmas edition by Shaun Roundy Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
This book clarifies that everyone's life meaning is different. One thing that is constant is courage to love and be love is important.
This book was enjoying yet the story was not developed enough for me. I did enjoy the meaning. Lana Warren
Would recommend to all that like a little romance along with a moral behind the story.looking forward to reading the others.
just started reading, its a little slow getting started but hopefully it will get better
The first couple chapters were a bit slow, but overall I really enjoyed this book. In some places I felt it really talked to me. I thought I would read it again, but when I got to the end only to find out it is not the end I was very disappointed.
I liked how Spencer met a young lady who was down to earth and who made him feel special. Before that he struggled with shyness and low self esteem. I like how he asked God for help.
I ordered this on my , and expected a warm, sentimental Christmas read, which it indeed was. That part is fine, although there are some problems with the novel in my opinion. First, I like the main character/narrator very much. He is very friendly and believable. and comes across as someone it would be a real pleasure to know. HIs character is also quite well defined. His concerns are believable, realistic and draw the reader into his thoughts and actions. ( The novel spends a large portion of its 150 pages concerned with life philosophies and religion which are interesting but do tend to bog down the plot.) The female main character is good, but less believable. I ended up with way too many "how come" questions for Netta. For example, she's 22 so, when the biggest crisis of the book appears for her character, why does it never seem to cross her mind that, as an adult, she could make an independent choice from the one her family makes? Other characters are not well defined, especially Jim, who seems slated to be established as an rival for the narrator, (and possibly not an entirely stable person) and then changes without sufficient reason. The motivation for this change is enough to maybe make him calm down, but not enough to totally make him graciously withdraw from the competition.) The narrator's college friends are interesting but underdeveloped in this book but apparently come into more action in the later books. For me, THAT was the real problem. The book is designed to be part one of a trilogy ( but we are not told that until the very last page of this book), the information at the end of the book indicating the 3rd book is not even finished yet. The last quarter of the book seems to meander a bit, disengage from the feelings of the characters and then ends so abruptly I was strongly reminded of the end of samples more than the conclusion of a book. Where the narrator seems to be headed in Book 2 seems totally out of character for what we have seen developing in this book, especially considering the change occurred in less than a week! Not sure I will continue as I am now being asked to accept way too much that is inconsistent with the character I thought I knew.
Everyone from Utah gives this five stars; everyone from elsewhere gives it three, so I'll buck the trend and give it two. I might have given it three if the poor proofreading hadn't dropped it a star--the main character "pours" over a book, and the author does have some confusion concerning the difference between "its" and "it's," which really is inexcusable in a book that has been published.
