No Doubt About It

This book changed my life. I understand my purpose in life better and the savior Jesus Christ better as well.

I loved this book. I started reading it and couldn't put it down. Loved the simple truths that were shared in such an eloquent way. :)

Sherri Dew is revolutionary to the concept of an LDS woman. When I read her book and as I have listened to her, I don't hear a 50s throwback (giving good grandmotherly advice but not what I need), but instead I hear someone who understands my questions, concerns and love of the gospel. Her book is well referenced (though of course to other LDS works) and thoughtful. She also tells great stories (I didn't find them arrogant like another reviewer did, but I definitely was biased toward the author to begin with). She has a great sense of humor about her life, and many of her stories are acutally a little bit on the self-depracating side, though not in a bad way. While I recognized most of the book from various talks I have heard, it was great to read them again. If you're not LDS, there are better books that can introduce you to our religion, but if you are this is a must read.

If you have seen Sheri Dew speak and enjoyed it at all, you will love this book. Written exactly true to the form in which she speaks, this book is packed with scripture references, stories from her past and present, and comforting words and insights.This book is written in a way that as you read it you seem to hear Sheri's voice saying the words. It flows nicely from topic to topic as she touches on strengths of the LDS gospel and also challenges you to find your knowledge and testimony of these as well.While I enjoy reading fiction, and not usually LDS fiction, I found this book refreshing and full of hope,without being to "deep" or intense, perfect for curling up with on a Sunday afternoon. It would make an EXCELLENT mother's day gift because it is targeted toward a woman audience. Sheri Dew is also sensitive to the women of the church and world who are not mother's, and as always she draws them into her fold as well. I give this book 5 stars because if you are looking for true inspiration in Sheri Dew form, here it is, page after page.

Whether you belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or not, this is book that will make you think. Directed mainly toward the women of the world, Ms. Dew sends two clear messages: one, that she knows what she knows concerning Jesus Christ and His Atonement for all mankind, and two, that it is up to each one of us to utilize that Atonement for our own salvation and good while on this earth. She backs her points up well with constant references to both the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and also quotes famous authors and many other names most are familiar with, including church leaders. Also included are many personal experiences, which I believe endears the reader to her and makes her words both understandable and believable. Ms. Dew acknowledges in this book that life is hard, but that it is what each of us do in this life that matters most. I particularly liked her way of explaining that we have to experience the bad to appreciate the good. (I can't do it justice here.)I'm no great writer when compared to Sheri Dew, but hope this conveys a little of the spirit of her wonderful book. I highly recommend this book. It will be an enjoyable, uplifting, insightful, motivating, and enlightening experience.
