review 1: Let me start off by saying that I am so glad that I read this book! I enjoyed it so much more than I ever thought I would- even though I was sure it would be good. :)After over a month of reading, I finally finished "It's (Not That) Complicated" on Thursday night. It was written by the Botkin sisters. Today I hope to share a brief overview of this book. Hope you enjoy!While this book was written about girl-guy friendships, I continually went back to thinking that this is all about two things- your character and your heart. The Botkin ladies answer the question, "Is it really possible for guys and girls to be just friends?" Well, the answer is yes, but there is a responsibility there. We are to treat every guy as a brother in Christ. When we do that it causes you to check ... moreyour heart and motives, as well as your character and what you are hoping to get out of the relationship. This book is full of practical advice and convicting, challenging ideas.This book was full of Biblical principles and I loved how everything taught in this book was completely backed up in the Scriptures- it wasn't just something that the authors made up or some far-fetched crazy idea. It is in the Bible! I also appreciated the Botkin's style of writing- very personal, coffee chat type of writing- sharing personal experiences and examples with humility and humorThis is a book that I think every young lady needs to read- you will be so convicted, as well as encouraged. I highly recommend this book, and am actually looking forward to reading it again myself.*I am thankful to the Western Conservatory for sending me a copy of this book for a review.*
review 2: I would recommend this book to every Christian woman or girl. Mothers: you and your daughters need to know what this book has to say. this book grabbed me and shook me upside down and told me what I was doing wrong in my relationship with my brother and father let alone the guys in the neighborhood. I am so glad that I read this book and hope that every one of my sisters and sisters in Christ read this book. there are no regrets in reading this book except one and that is that I didn't read it sooner.this book although it talks about very serious topics that are important to apply to our lives, is not a bible thumping "the bible says you HAVE to" book; the authors actually let their hair down and laugh. they bring an element of humor to the subject and even include straight forward examples that girls can understand like Cinderella. It is important to me (and I can't stress my point more) that young ladies read this book. there where points where this book brought to my attention things about guys that I never knew before. there where points where I couldn't believe how badly I was unintentionally messed up in that aria of my relationship with guys. I have walked away from this book as a changed woman and I hope that everyone else who reads this will too. Unimportant side note: I saw this book in a Christian books Catalog and wanted to read it because I felt that my relationships with guys needed polishing. I was very surprised at what I got. this book went above and beyond my expectations. this book covered topics in my life that I didn't even know needed work. less
