I don’t really enjoy reading reviews of things I’ve written or said. I end up encouraged or discouraged or worried because of being misquoted….I guess I go through all the emotions. So, generally speaking, I don’t read them. And I certaily don’t search them out. When people send me links to reviews or blogs that mention me I rarely click on it. I’ve prayed through what I wrote, feel good before God with what I wrote, and am okay with sticking to that.

But then there are times I click on the link.

Sometimes the reviews are not raving about how good the book is, but are fair and tactful with their critique. Some reviewers have obviously not even read the book. Some take one phrase out of context overreact and develop a whole theory on it. And then there are some that are very encouraging, having only good things to say about whatever it is I said/wrote. Up until now anyway (and I’m sure this will change at some point) the reviews for the book I co-authored with Reggie Joiner and Abbie Smith called, The Slow Fade, have been really good and encouraging. At least the ones I’ve seen anyway. At times the people mis-quote things, can take them out of context, switch wording around, etc., but for the most part what I’ve read so far has been pretty good.

I recently read through some and thought I’d include them here…in case anyone is interested. If you’re aware of others, good or bad, feel free to post a comment on it. I probably won’t click the link, but others might!
