Using her own dramatic life story, Caine shows how God rescued her from a life where she was unnamed, unwanted, and unqualified. She tells how she overcame abuse, abandonment, fears, and other challenges to go on a mission of adventure, fueled by faith and filled with love and courage. Her personal stories inspire readers to hear their name called, just as Christine heard her own—“You are beloved. You are the hope. You are chosen”—to go into a dark and troubled world, knowing each of us possess all it takes to bring hope, create change, and live completely for Christ.


Christine Caine is an incredibly talented, passionate and inspiring speaker, and unlike in some of her earlier books, this comes across very strongly in her writing as well. Part of that might be that this book is a mix of a memoir and an inspirational book, and it's therefore easier to see how somebody might apply the lessons Christine tries to teaches in their everyday life, because she is very open about how she applied them. It all still boils down to how to actually hear what God has to say to you. Until you know how to listen, it doesn't matter how 'undaunted' you are with regards to following his plans for you.

I don't know if I'd say the book has taught me anything I didn't already know, but it certainly gave me a new appreciation and respect for Ms. Caine.
