About the book: I Want It All (David C. Cook, March 2016) God created you for exceptional impact. Exceptional power. And exceptional blessings. Gwen Smith knows how easy it is to dismiss God's plans with the thoughts, I can't make a big difference for God because I'm just an ordinary woman with an ordinary life. Yet God created us to join Him in doing amazing work in the world. He created us to live with abundant joy, courage, and influence. But not the joy, courage, and influence of the world. He offers His grace for each failure, His love that shatters hate, His peace that soothes the turmoil, His comfort, guidance, wisdom, rest, power, and significance. Every blessing He has for us is ours for the taking. I Want It All will ignite a fire in your heart to experience more faith, more power, and more impact. More of Jesus. All of Jesus. Everything that God has for you.

So many times throughout the book it felt as if Gwen had written the thoughts that I have in my own head and things I am thinking and saying to myself almost on a daily basis.  I loved the story that Gwen shares right away in the beginning of the book of a conversation she had one night at bedtime with her daughter where her daughter shares what she wants to be when she grows up.  That caused me to stop and think about the dreams and goals I had as a little girl and to think about when those dreams ended, when I stopped reaching for them and instead just felt as if I was "settling" into life.  It also made me think about conversations I have with my children and the children I work with and encouraging them to follow their dreams and telling them they can have it all.  Why then can't I have it all as well?!  Gwen shares her heart in this book and encouraged me and she will encourage each and every person who picks up this book on their journey toward having it all!
