No one's life is perfect. This woman, a pastor but no stranger to hard times herself, has shared insights hard-learned from her life so that others can learn from them. That's the bottom line here.

Many women give and give to others and forget to give to themselves. We get so used to doing for our families we dont' do for ourselves. God wants us to take care of ourselves so that we are better prepared to be there for our famlies and friends.

I found this book so inspirational in terms of helping me see God's path for me, that I bought several copies as gifts for women friends going through troubled times.

I highly recommend this book--if you're looking to be inspired, seeking encouragement to take a big life step or just wanting to explore what God's plan for you is. Excellent read and great Christmas gift for women (and men too!) If you're lucky enough to see her preach from this book, either on TV or live, you'll understand what I mean.

I just finished reading You're All That, and this book really touched me on a personal level. The practical advice for moving beyond trouble in your life makes this a must read for all women (and men too!). Paula makes her methods easy to understand and practice in real life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with turbulent times in their life.

Paula has a wonderful, down to earth approach in her ministry. This book addresses the stressors that all women face in their lives. Paula speaks love and encouragement for dealing w/ the most trying situations.

I wasn't able to put down You're All That since I started reading it! This book is filled with hope and happiness that will fill your heart with joy. The experiences of Mrs. White are touching, and her advice will get anyone through the hardest of times in their lives. I'm recommending this book to all of my friends, and buying some extra copies as Christmas gifts. The message of You're All That will warm the hearts of everyone who reads it.

Outstanding, especially if your life has been torn apart and you don't know what to do to put it back together. The book provides some practical tools and thought processes, as well as Scripture. It is easy to read and understand, full of helpful advice for anyone, even those who have not had a loss.

You Are Not All That

In 2007 Paula White published a book under the genre of "Christian Living" entitled You're All That: Understanding God's Design for Your Life. At first glance this book is appealing and draws the reader in with the hope of understanding God's design for their life. After getting into the book, however, the author rarely mentions God, and instead focuses on the reader and on herself. This book's subject is the individual and not the creator. As a matter of fact, scripture speaks clearly that we are not "all that," contrary to what White's book title has the reader believe. The title is misleading. Scripture is clear, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

Author and theologian G. K. Chesterton is credited for answering the question "What's wrong with the world?," posed by The Times, with "Dear Sirs, I am. Sincerely yours, G. K. Chesterton." This is a very different outlook on self than the one that Paula White illustrates in "You're All That." Chesterton's response is also a more biblically accurate view of self. It is not that we are "all that," it is that the God we serve is "all that." God should be our focus and should be elevated and we should be submitted to God in humility. John the Baptist said it this way in John 3:30, "He must increase, but I must decrease."

This book is great for propping open doors, starting fires, or for standing on to gain an extra inch or two when you are trying to reach things on the top shelf.

I read alot, and have read many books....this book has been one I haven't been able to put down. Paula White touches on personal life experience, that we can all relate too, someone wrote that she doesn't really mention's God, I disgree, She definately draws the reader to the Lord, I think she does a great job Glorifying God in this book.

Pastor Paula's Book, "You're All That!" is truly inspirational. Coupled with life stories, examples, scriptures/references from the Bible, and motivational rhetoric, this book provides the necessary information and push that we need in order to make a positive change and impact in our lives. Even though life sometimes lies to us, we need to move beyond our past and embrace the future and destiny that God has planned for us to fulfill and enjoy.
I am surprised by those who have left a negative review for this book, but I believe that Pastor Paula's book (as well as the many other books she's written) are truly a blessing.

Paula White's YOU'RE ALL THAT: UNDERSTAND GOD'S DESIGN FOR YOUR LIFE tells of the author's own painful experiences and where she found keys to healing and new life. She narrates her own account of finding meaning in life - and a positive path for living it - and provides an inspirational audio especially recommended for Christian collections. Two new 'Rich Dad' audios are excellent for young adults and newcomers to financial savvy.

You don't have to be troubled to have difficulty figuring out what your path should be. This book can help. Positive, life-affirming and spiritual. Paula's been there and back and has good advice for us all. I couldn't put it down and my copy is all marked up with my notes. Very good book.
