When life is not going the way it was planned what is one to do? A few people turn to outside counseling, some turn to family and friends and many turn to their faith. GET OVER IT AND ON WITH IT is composed of all three elements. Michelle Mckinney Hammond is an inspirational speaker and author of many faith-based self-help books. In GET OVER IT AND ON WITH IT, using the life struggles of biblical characters, Ms. Hammond shows the reader how to overcome their own personal struggles. When reading this book, one has the benefit of outside counsel, the familiar and comforting language of friends and family, and last but not least, the teachings of the Christian faith.

To receive the most benefit from the author's counsel in, GET OVER IT AND ON WITH IT, it should be read at a time when the reader has a need for guidance and perspective. With chapter titles such as "Absorbing the Blow, Getting Back on Your Feet and Standing Firm," the book shows the reader how to be victorious in the fight of and for their life. GET OVER IT AND ON WITH IT gives the reader a warm directional approach to keeping the faith and holding on to hope.

This book is full of excellent advice. I don't usually read this genre and still I found this book very useful it uses the bible to help solve today's problems. This book gave me a new prospective on the way I was looking at certain situations in my life. The author was brief and to the point, always reminding the reader to look for the answer in God's Holy bible all though the men and women who lived in a day when people took a closer walk with God. The author also showed that the men and women in those day went through similar situations as we do today. The book discusses every thing from financial trouble to death, I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to cope with the everyday stress that life brings.

This book is perfect. Whether you're going through something huge or something small. All struggles seem huge to us at the time and this book gives a breath of fresh air and a little break from what you are going through. Michelle (as always) takes a very Biblical perspective on the struggles and hard times that we face in life. The hard times will not stop coming as long as we are living, so we might as well get used to getting back on our feet. She allows time for grief and helps make sense of things that seem senseless. She also gives simple reminders like eating and resting and taking care of your temple during these hard times. God is good and I'm so glad to have authors like Michelle out there who can really offer wisdom. A great book. I'll read it again the next time life knocks me down and do the questions after each section for deeper understanding.

This was the first book that I had ever read by this author. I was having my hair done,thumbing through magazines, when I saw an ad for this book. I stopped, right there, and thought. . . This is my life! (forgive me) I tore the whole page out of the magazine and put it in my pocket, there are some things that you must not forget. When I got home I looked it upon on the internet, searched around town until I found it. I went right away the next day and purchased the book.

Wow, it is such a wonderful book. I read it, and it changed many of the ways I had been thinking. My freinds noticed the change in me also. It was so good I read it again, this time I highlighted important things to me. I was so inspired, that I loaned it to a friend. She took too long to get it back to me, so I went on Amazon found me an inexpensive copy and bought it again. I read it over and over, it inspires me, and helps me to get throught the rough patches in my life, and Lord knows there have been many. It is a wonderful book.

i bought this book a few years ago thinking of my mother when my grandmother passed but i didn't think she would be open to it and read it so i held onto it. i have had my own hurts and disappointments recently and felt i needed something to help me through it all. i started reading and felt more hopeful and encouraged with each chapter. the book is Christian based but doesn't feel preachy or condemning. it's doesn't overlook the fact that when you're going through a storm you are really hurting and sometimes it's hard to think you'll make it to the other side of your pain.

the book uses biblical examples and has scriptures in the chapters (so you don't need to cross reference your bible as you read through which i appreciated). the author starts with the basics when you're going through a tough time - rest, eat, drink but not in the traditional sense that we think of. she then tells you how to get stronger and truly be better through it all. she encourages you to get closer to God in your disappointment which is sometimes very difficult.

the book will help you through any loss or disappointment you might be going through - the loss of a relationship, a loved one or child, a job. be encouraged...you can make it!

This book is so timely. Warning: If you're not ready to get over it and get on with it...don't read this book! This book came at a time when I 'thought' I was ready to let go of some things and people, but realized I wasn't. However, the more I read this book, I had no choice ... my spirit began to change, I began to see things for what they were and I could no longer settle for mediocre. Michelle has gone it again!

I really enjoyed the fast pace, the humor and the straight forward counsel. Great advice from an endearing author.

This book was given to my husband when he was going through intensive cancer treatments and had been in a short period of remission. At the time we both scanned it and read some topics in it. After he passed away I took this book along with some others to our Bible Study group for consideration for our next study since my husband had been the leader for a long time. The group chose this book as it spoke to all of us on our current or past situations and because it gives us some insight and help, along with humor. I ordered a second one for the group so we could always have one available. We just take turns reading each week and then share with the questions and the information. Everyone has gotten some helpful caring advice from it and our sharing.At many times in our lives we need to just Get Over It and On With It and with God's help and loving caring friends and family we can. This book just gives us some helpful hints on how to take those difficult steps.

I love all Michelle McKinney's books. Her wisdom and bible based knowledge is absolutely a blessing in my life. I have been going through quite a bit in my life and the bible is my #1 book to read for insight. However, when the bible is coupled with Michelle's books you can get over anything. Thanks Amazon for having it in stock.

The words of divinely inspired wisdom and understanding written in this book has been a great blessing to my entire being. Each time that I am imspired to read passages, they are right on time for what I am experiencing. God is Love, and He has expressed His love within this book. Michelle's book causes me to investigate myself more probingly. A fabulous read!
