I love jewel and everything she does. She truly is a well rounded person, and her ability to express her feelings in these magnifacent poems is outstanding.... YAY for Jewel!

Amazing. I didn't know pages could hold such truth and emotion. I came close to tears reading "God Exists Quietly".

Intruiging and Inspiring
This book is an easy read which makes it more appealing to people who are not familiar with poetry.
It is well written and raw, I enjoyed it and recommend it as a late night read.

Not bad at all
I picked this book up at my school library and thought that it was truly a refreshing read. Sure, some of her poems may not be as polished as the works of great writers like Eliot or Heaney, but they have earned the right to be called poetry too.
Her works leap from an adult impulse to a childlike freedom, and through her curt prose, allow you to soak in the emotions on your own without painting on too much. Although the inevitable cliches of writing about love and lost are ever-present in this collection, Jewel is not one to mince her words into pretty rhythms and her poetry manages to strike you with enough clarity of a face-to-face dialogue.
Nevertheless, if you are looking for FABULOUS poetry, this book wouldn't provide much. Go buy Szymborska.

the poetry is insipid and irritating! it reeks of triteness

i feel that the only reason this book was published was because she was a popular singer. if it were anyone else i feel this book would have gone no where. personally i think her style is very elementry and to me it seems like she wrote the book in a day using little thought. i do not feel she should be praised for her unskilled writing and i would not recomend this book to an enimy.

I think it's beautiful to express the feelings and beliefs God has given us through poetry and song. What better than to then share that with the world? I think it is a gift to be able to write how you truly feel, so much that someone else hears it and can fully relate to it. I think it creates a sense of equality and a closeness between the artist and the listener. God bless, nika.
