I absolutely love the cover of this book. It's beautiful. To a coffee lover, such as myself, this made me want to sit down with a cup of good coffee and read uninterrupted. The colors, the font, and the cup of coffee were beautifully designed on this cover.
I liked watching the real-life struggles between husband and wife, Sawyer and Chelsea. Throw in the children who are affected by their parent's every decision and this scenario is probably a typical one that many face in these days. Forgiveness doesn't come easy for Chelsea and she needs a little help in order to see what she has and will be missing out on if she continues on the path of unforgiveness. But to forgive herself, she has to see herself as God sees her.
There are quite a few lovable characters in this book. Bo is probably one of my favorites, and of course, Manny and Katrina. They play a huge part in Chelsea's life, but you also get to hear their story of redemption as well.
I struggled to enjoy one part of the book, though. I understand the point being made about being able to access God at all times, anywhere, but I wasn't particularly fond of how the point was illustrated in the book.
This is a nice, short book that reminds readers that the battle for us is not fought just on earth, but in heaven. Satan is very real and God is very real. It reminds us how involved Satan wants to be in our lives if we aren't careful.... and even if we are careful.

Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe (Thomas Nelson, February 2015)What if you could ask God anything? What would you ask? And how would he answer?
Chelsea Chambers is on her own. After a public split from her NFL superstar husband, Chelsea takes a bold step out of the limelight and behind the counter of the Higher Grounds Café, an old-fashioned coffee shop in dire need of reinvention. But when her courage, expert planning, and out-of-this-world cupcakes fail to pay the bills, this newly single mom finds herself desperate for help. Better yet, a miracle.
Then a curious stranger lands at Chelsea’s door, and with him, an even more curious string of events. Soon, customers are flocking to the Higher Grounds Café, and not just for the cupcakes and cappuccino. They’ve come for the internet connection to the divine. Now the café has become the go-to place for people in search of answers to life’s biggest questions.
When a catastrophe strikes and her ex comes calling, Chelsea begins to wonder if the whole universe is conspiring against her quest to make it on her own. After a shocking discovery opens her eyes to the unseen world around her, Chelsea finds the courage to ask, and heaven answers in a most unexpected way.
