The Cinderella Syndrome: Discovering God's Plan When Your Dreams Don't Come True

Rating:
Summary: Quick fixes don't work
Review: Although I was excited about this book, I was not very pleased with the style with which it was written or the content. Ms. Ezell seems to have some very quick solutions to very difficult life problems. The book itself proports to address the very real problem of women who are discontented with their life, who have wishful thinking about what the want and who they are with, but proposes to address those concerns in a little over one hundred pages. In the chapter on forgiveness, Ms. Ezell counsels you to look in the mirror and say I forgive. Although she warns us against "magical" thinking, she seems to be using it herself. She contradicts herself. Her bible quotes seem self-serving and her reference to "humanists" seems to infer an intolerance to different faiths and opinions. She tells us that we should trust God to give us what we need, but then says that everything in life is not planned, some circumstances just happen! I was pretty dissappointed, to say the least and I have a magical feeling that I was not the only one!
