“I love how they tell stories backwards.
The editing is great.
I often end up feeling inspired that any moment in my life might end up being pivotal - or that I could be part of the pivotal moment for someone else.”

“I was introduced like many people to J.J Heller by the song What Love really means. That is a game changing song but it does not define her anymore than Awesome God defines Rich Mullins. I used to follow Hellers blog and she was an amazing blogger. But the blog doesn't define her either what...”Read full review »
