"I read books of this nature with a highlighter in hand. When I complete it, I type some of the most meaningful, thought-provoking, inspiring quotes and post them on my refrigerator. After reading And We are Changed, my refrigerator is full! The book provides inspiration and meat for thought to last far beyond the last page. 'The Lord longs to transform each of us from the common caterpillar into the beautiful and unique butterflies that He intended for us to be.' " -- Marsha J. Wright, Christian Book Previews.com
