disappointed

I thought I was buying the real, normal-sized book. However, a small, 1 or 2-inch book arrived! I didn't see anywhere on the page where I bought the book that it wasn't the full-sized book.

book order

I ordered these books and they come in as miniatures...completely insane! Who pays $5.00 a book for a 4"x4" book you can not even read! I ordered these for our small group at church and now I will look like an idiot because we will not have in time for our meeting! Thanks, Amazon! I have better luck with the other vendors!

Inspiring words- minature book- extremly minature

I guess I overlooked the word minature (my fault) at a glance it just looked like the regular size book and was very excited to find it at such a good price, and hardcover at that! PLEASE know if you order this you are not going to get the full version of the book. I am going to pay closer attention and get the whole thing next time. Felt a bit silly when I opened my package and the book was about 2 inches x 4 inches. For me I'm going to BAM and shop in person for this one!

Cool little book, but spring for the full size

These miniature editions really are MINIATURE! So much so that handling them and the type size was not comfortable. I returned these and purchased the full size edition - much better! I am reading the full size one now - and it is excellent! The content of the book gets 5 stars! John Ortberg keeps his excellent sense of humor throughout the book, while still getting to the serious issues that will make even the most well adjusted person say - "Yep, I felt exactly like that!" I highly recommend this book to ANYONE, whether you think you have issues or not!

CAUTION!

Be cautious when ordering this book. I thought I was getting a full size book for a study we are doing and it is only 3 x 3 1/2 inches in size.

IF YOU WANT TO WALK ON WATER

This book was not what I thought it would be about so I'm not very happy with this book at all.

Cute little item.

Be careful about your purchase. The one we acquired was a miniture version. The type was ok and you could read it, but the book was about 2" x 3". It was a miniture and not at all what we thought we were acquiring. We wanted the whole book. When ordering we did not notice that it was a miniture edition.
