The book is well written and easy to read. The subject matter is thought-provoking: is God really Lord of your life? Is He really working all things together for your good? The author helps to make it personal, and the newer version includes questions in the back. A group of us are meeting each week to discuss it, and many of the ladies are discovering flaws in some of their long-held beliefs because of what they have read in it. I think that the group discussions are helpful; in fact, I am thinking that any similar book that I read would be more meaningful if carried into a group discussion!
