A quick read full of encouragement. Julianne Donaldson is one of my favorite authors. I am so sorry to hear, through this collection, a bit of what she has been going through these past years. But I am so so happy she is writing again, and encouraged by the faith she has clearly leaned on and bravely shared. The story about the garage is perhaps my favorite, so poignant and relatable.

This book was so inspiring and uplifting to me. These thoughts and poems of hers was soul searching at its rawest. I did enjoy this quick read and believe me it has opened my eyes.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I read this author’s fictional best seller, “Edenbrooke” years ago, and I was happy to read her book of essays and poems. This was a very short book on the musings of her real life pain and the beauty and hope she has found in God’s presence. I can tell it was written with her heart.
~Thank you to NetGalley and Publisher~

This book was raw soul searching and just what I needed. The poetry comes from deep in the depths of the authors soul. The poetry was touching and brought me to tears. I also loved the essays that she shares. Thank you, Julianne Donaldson, I'm grateful you shared what is on your heart, please keep writing, I love your books.

A gripping, poignant and honest look into the soul of one who has struggled through some dark days and been reminded that God is always there and always enough. The writings are real and raw, and Julianne’s heart is evident in every single entry. I am thankful for the opportunity to partake in her journey of healing and discovery and honored to have been able to participate in her inner most thoughts and prayers during this time. What a gift she has given to others out of her own pain.

This beautiful little book could not have come to me at a better time. I am so grateful to NetGalley for allowing me this opportunity. What a blessing I received this morning...sitting by our Christmas tree, hot cup of coffee in hand, able to read in one sitting. Thought-provoking, reflective, and inspiring, "Come, Sweet Day" will remind the reader to breathe, pray, rely upon our Lord, exactly the things I needed today. Julianne Donaldson has woven together beautiful and encouraging words, poetry and hymns to help heal and to help remind us to place our worries in the hands of the One who loves us more than anything and carries us through the hard times. Thank you, Ms. Donaldson. Once this lovely book arrives on the shelves I will be gifting it to many, and reading it myself, many many times.
