KIRKUS REVIEWS
Montgomery finds light amid the darkness in this collection of devotional poems.
The connection between life’s difficulties and the comfort offered by God is the primary theme of these poems, which channel emotions such as fear, doubt, and grief into spiritual devotion…Montgomery’s plainspoken, end-rhyming verses recall, in their best moments, the sharp simplicity of Emily Dickinson…Each section is preceded by a prose introduction, however, which offer some context for the succeeding poems, explaining what was going on in the poet’s life to inspire them. Taken together, the poems and prose pieces reveal the inner struggle many religious people face in reckoning their belief in a loving God with the difficulties of life in this world.
An earnest and often affecting collection of Christian poems.

When reading this book, one can expect a journey into the authors life. Her life experiences coupled with the depth and cadence of her poetry, prayers and praise speak to the soul. You can see that God has inspired and led her from the mountain tops through the valley of the shadow of death. Inspiring and uplifting as well as honest and open.
This is absolutely one of the best books I have read thus far, and I read a lot of books.
This is absolutely one of the best books I have read thus far, and I read a lot of books. I have rejoiced and cried with this wonderful author. My soul and spirit has been uplifted living through some of her testimonies. From the mountain top to the valley of the shadow of death my spirit has been able to connect with hers. I love and thank you Janet for revealing your heart to us.
My God!! I love this book.
My God!! I love this book. As soon as I started to read I felt an overwhelming feeling in my chest and i started to cry. I love this book, it’s very deep and i am taking my sweet time reading it and savoring each poem. As a matter of fact I read a poem to my husband before we go to bed. I also love the way Janet step by step on how to develop a relationship with the Lord. Thank you Janet for sharing your amazing poems with us!
