This is a wonderful unique look into one persons life journey. As every one’s life should be, however, it is PACKED with uncondescending wisdom & self assurance. You want to know what happens next to the protagonist however, at the same time you find yourself reflecting on your own life experiences. The scriptures & words of wisdom added help give breaks & understanding in the journey (and also for own meditation) I found this book so extremely enriching I highly recommend it to anyone!….Gender , race, age or status play no part in being able grasp this fabulous individuals life’s journey! I also found it to be humorous and light as well as a weighty dose of reality! A book 2 is a must and definitely looking forward to it!

I love the book, words and journey… The book highlights we are not alone; I can relate to many of the experiences and challenges discussed in the book. God is always trying to teach us in everything we do. We just have to be willing to go through them, with FAITH. Thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nuggets of Wisdom
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2010
My God and Me by Lashawnda Jones is a uniquely formatted book about relationships,both those that worked, those that didn’t work,and why. By using personal essays, poems, and scriptures, the author is able to creatively express the many nuggets of wisdom she has accumulated throughout her life. The book is not set up from a chronological standpoint but from the standpoint of spiritual growth. She presents five detailed chapters on episodes of clarity, family and friend relationships, cultivating my spirit,practicing patience through dating, and preparation for the marriage relationship. Each of these chapters illustrates a necessary step of growth on the path of life. She does an excellent job of demonstrating, through her own personal experiences, that in God’s world, everything one goes through has a purpose.

A Deeply Personal Work
Although I’m not a religious person, “My God and Me” taught me a lot.
Since LaShawnda Jones is so willing to share her deeply personal stories and the lessons she’s learned from them, I’ve had the opportunity to “walk in the shoes” of a woman who grew out of a tough, stifling environment to become educated at a prestigious school in Europe. I’ve had the chance to live vicariously through the eyes of an African-American woman who survived being the victim of sexual abuse, only to be a victim of verbal abuse by the skinny women with whom she worked as a plus-size model. I’ve been able to have a better understanding of how an individual’s faith in God sometimes is the only thing they have to keep them going.
As I read “My God and Me,” I reflected on how there are many women in my life who have also had a difficult time finding “Mr. Right” and they have each dealt with it in their own way. Some focus on career and put that first. Others choose to foster their relationships with friends and family. Some choose to live life to the fullest and keep themselves open to the possibility of finding a partner. LaShawnda Jones has done all of the above, in addition to developing her relationship with God.
“My God and Me” is written in a very relatable, down-to-earth manner that makes it easy and enjoyable to read, without ever devaluing its important lessons.
