This is the fourth nonfiction book I've read by Debbie Macomber. It was good, but she repeated several examples from her earlier books so it wasn't totally original material. I think that I would have liked this one more if I had read it before reading the other books. The premise of this book is that each year Debbie intentionally focuses on one word, "one perfect word," and because of this she ends up learning and growing in her faith and her life. Some of her words in past years have been "prayer," "trust," and "surrender." Debbie's writing style is engaging as she tells stories to make her point, often drawn from her own life. I would recommend reading one of her other nonfiction books if given the choice, as I think they provided more impact. ( )

An interesting mini-biography of how Macomber got started in writing and how she became a Christian. Also how she started focusing on one word a year by learning about the word, meditating on it and growing because of it. ( )

I have very much enjoyed her other books One Simple Act and God’s Guest List.

This one not so much, I tried I really tried to read it but it just didn't hold my interst, I like the concept of a word a year but reading about hers just didn't hold my interest.

I will tray again - maybe later in the year but for now. My rating stands.

I highly recomend her other books though. ( )

One perfect word can make all the difference. Debbie Macomber has shown us how to intentionally focus on a singer word for a whole year, and how it has changed her life and those around her as well.
