Cherished with Love from Above: A 5-Star Review

Cherished with Love from Above ~Danny Frigulti

Book Review: Cherished with Love from Above by Danny Frigulti

Some books find you in the most unexpected ways… and this was one of them.

I actually met Danny at the gym, of all places. I was on a bike, completely immersed in The Moonshine's Wife by Twyla Smith, when he came over and started a simple conversation. It turned out he was a teacher turned author, and before I knew it, we were talking about books.

If I’m being honest, I was secretly more interested in some of his other titles at first. This one wasn’t what I would normally reach for. But he was certain. He told me this was the book I needed to read. Not just a recommendation, but something he truly felt led to share.

And when he spoke about it, you could feel it.

There was something deeply sincere in the way he described grief, love, and the challenges of truly loving and being loved. He spoke about understanding love through God’s eyes, and that moment alone made me pause. You don’t often meet someone so intentional about a message like that.

Going into it, I’ll admit this isn’t my usual genre. I tend to stay away from religion and politics in my reading. But this book shifted something for me.

It wasn’t about preaching. It was about love.

The kind of love that asks you to go deeper. The kind that reminds you not to settle. The kind that reflects commitment, especially within marriage, in a way that feels both grounding and aspirational.

Even with the scriptures and quotes woven throughout the book, each one serves as a gentle reminder of God’s love and just how deep that love truly goes. It never felt overwhelming, but instead intentional and heartfelt, reinforcing the message in a meaningful way.

What stood out most was the reminder that there are people who choose to love fully and intentionally. That kind of love exists. And it is worth waiting for.

And then, at the end, the book does something unexpected. It invites you to reflect. There’s a sort of “homework” moment that asks you to sit with what you’ve read and apply it to your own life.

I’ll be honest… I’m not there yet. I’ve got a few more books on my list before I’m ready to fully step into that kind of reflection. But I appreciate that it’s there, waiting.

This book is a solid 5 stars for those who adore being loved and who have a heart for God. It speaks directly to that space with sincerity and purpose.

Overall, this wasn’t the book I thought I would pick up…
but it was the one I’m really glad I didn’t pass by.

Enjoy — in light N love. ✨

The Mysteries of the Woodland Academy

3/5/24:

Last night, caught my eye by surprise. I came home to a huge box that I needed help bringing into the house. Thankfully, my kids brought it in with care. So, we had to rush to open it, as we opened the box, our eyes beamed from all the goodness that was inside. We are so excited to see that K.D. Williams’ books have arrived and we are more eager to see where they will go. Half the books got wrapped up to go to a bible study with a group of kids at the middle school.

The leader of the group was opened to receiving them. Now, this is a vibe because It was like giving her the most precious gem. It was delight to soak in her happiness just from this small stack of books. We are so proud of these middle schoolers for wanting to attend this club during their lunchtime.

Another one went to a really good friend, her son is going on a missions trip really soon. It is super sweet will to give this book to this family and the possible opportunity to take K.D. Williams’ book to a place where books are a luxury. I am even more honored that my friend wants to read this book as well. I was purely overjoyed that she is excited to read it too!

Are you?

When was the last time you made someone so happy by giving them a little something?

I would love to know your story!

Happy Readings,

Alice McMurtry
