- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2025Wow! This is a book of God’s restoration & transformation! I honestly don’t read much, but when a friend recommended this book to me, I gave it a try to gain more encouragement in my life: in less than 48 hours from receiving it, I couldn’t put it down & I feel so at peace & have hope for the good work that God is doing in all of our lives - even when we feel unloved, unworthy, and can’t move forward from the past — this book takes us on the process of how breakthrough and transformation happen through our Heavenly Father. It is truth & I recommend it for anyone needing extra hope or encouragement in their life — or book study’s - this is a great quick read that gives incredible perspective and encouragement! Highly recommend!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025This book is a true story of a life changing event. One decision that forever changed the course of the author's life. It is beautifully written and draws the reader into her thoughts and emotions. I loved how vulnerable and real she was. She allowed the reader to walk through this dark time with her but brought hope in the end. She brings an awareness of social media and gives guidelines to protect others. This book is written for all, but would be great for teens and young adults. It brings in a reality of the dangers of social media and one bad decision. But it also is a story of redemption, forgiveness and new life. It is a must read.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2025I got this book last night and when I sat down in my recliner to read it I couldn't stop. It brought tears, chills and made my heart overflow with compassion for Kelly and the others that were affected by a horrific event. I love how it ultimately led her to a deep and meaningful relationship with God. I want my daughters and grand daughters to read this. Thank you for sharing your story. I feel like it will help others in a big way!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025The author brought the reader into her own experience of how she kept her faith even in the darkest moments. This book was very well written, I finished it in one night. The story kept me compelled to find out how she made it. Reflecting on my own experiences of difficulties of life’s challenges, it made me look at the blessings and hope to get through. Highly recommend this for all seeking to find reassurance of grace in their lives.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2025Knowing Kelly before, during, & after this horrific story, she has told it so bravely and simply. But, the greatest part of her story is sharing God’s guidance in her life and her deepening faith. I highly recommend reading her book. Kelly learned that God loves us all!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Outside God's umbrella is a wonderful reminder that God is waiting with open arms... All we need to do is call upon him. We are all worthy of his love and protection. Great read! Definitely pulled on my heartstrings.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2025This book will grab you by the heart and by the throat. Think of the unimaginable, the unthinkable and the unspeakable that life can bring. Then think of God who stands by us at every turn and corner. The author tells her story from a healed heart, with truth and grace. Her message—beware of who you meet on social media, and behold—there is a God who loves you. Highly recommend!
