The Cappuccino Life

Sep. 23, 2007 - Book Review: My Life, Unscripted

When I first got this new book from Tricia Goyer, I did wonder what I was going to do with it.  I am past the teen stage, and though those years were emotionally turbulent, I did not deal with many of the same struggles and temptations that most young American girls do today.  I also have never been able to enjoy scripts much, even Shakespeare.

But I was pleasantly surprised with My Life, Unscripted.  It was easy to read, and for me it was interesting getting into Tricia's mind and the minds of other teen girls (there are comments from teenagers on many pages throughout the book).  I also found a teen girl who needed the book, so she got my copy.  However, there is a contest, so post a comment and I'll do the whole random selection thing and get you a copy too!

Here's a bit more about the book in Tricia's words:

Tricia's Script:
 
Looking back at my drama-filled teen years I now wonder ... What was I thinking?
 
The truth? I wasn't. I lived from day to day on every wave of emotion. Some days excitement and passion partnered up, pattering wildly within my heart.
 
Other days, depression and anxiety were my silent friends. I lived each day as it came, with no plan for my future, for my relationships, or for my heart.
 
I lived my life completely unscripted ... and, well, it didn't go well for me. Teen pregnancy and a broken heart were only two consequences. Yet my prayer is that when teen girls are asked Who's Writing Your Life? their answer will be ME ... with the guidance of God, My Director.

Be sure to visit Tricia's site, to see her other books.  And don't forget to leave a comment for the contest!
