Summary
An incredibly thoughtful， disarmingly funny， and intensely vulnerable glimpse into the life and ministry of a woman familiar to many but known by few。
"It's a peculiar thing， this having lived long enough to take a good look back。 We go from knowing each other better than we know ourselves to barely sure if we know each other at all， to precisely sure that we don't。 All my knotted-up life I've longed for the sanity and simplicity of knowing who's good and who's bad。 I've wanted to know this about myself as much as anyone。 This was not theological。 It was strictly relational。 God could do what he wanted with eternity。 I was just trying to make it here in the meantime。 As benevolent as he has been in a myriad of ways， God has remained aloof on this uncomplicated request。" --Beth Moore
All My Knotted-Up Life is a beautifully crafted portrait of resilience and survival， a poignant reminder of God's enduring faithfulness， and proof positive that if we ever truly took the time to hear people's full stories 。 。 。 we'd all walk around slack-jawed。

Still shedding tears。。。I have walked through half my life seeking more of Jesus， led by Beth Moore studies。 And I have cried as I relived my childhood through her words。 You are welcome here Beth Moore。 Thank you。

Book #2 of my sick-in-bed reading。 This one was so good。

Written in Beth’s trademark style， I can hear her voice in my head as I read。 I can hear the southern accent and picture her dead-pan look when she makes a sarcastic statement。 Picture her pulling her hair and pointing a finger。 This book is BETH to the enth degree。She has alluded to so much of this over the years we’ve sat under her teaching that， ultimately， it didn’t feel like a surprise， more like the curtain finally being pulled back some more。 I appreciated that， unlike so many other memoi Written in Beth’s trademark style， I can hear her voice in my head as I read。 I can hear the southern accent and picture her dead-pan look when she makes a sarcastic statement。 Picture her pulling her hair and pointing a finger。 This book is BETH to the enth degree。She has alluded to so much of this over the years we’ve sat under her teaching that， ultimately， it didn’t feel like a surprise， more like the curtain finally being pulled back some more。 I appreciated that， unlike so many other memoirs， she did not go into gruesome detail for basically anything。 You know what’s happening without needing to read details。 I deeply appreciated that。 I also appreciated how she still guarded her loved ones’ privacy in so many ways。 Another thing I noticed that was very well done and well thought through was how she addresses difficult topics， like racism in the south in her youth。 Issues like this were addressed so kindly。 I was impressed with the writing/editing during portions like that， and several others on equally as hot-button issues。This book has Beth’s wit and humor， her heart and soul。 She clarified a lot without revealing everything。 Probably her best work to date， and that’s saying a lot。 。。。more

10 stars。 I listened to this book in it’s entirety in just over 24 hours。 Oh Jesus the tears， especially over chapter 15 and at the end。 But really all of it。 Touched me so tenderly and more than words can tell。 Thank you Miss Beth for being so generous to share your one wild and knotted up life with us。 Jesus your faithfulness and love over our stories takes my breath away。 Only You can bring beauty from ashes Lord。

A gorgeously written book about the beauty and tragedy that is real life。

This is at turns heartbreaking， hilarious， and all the time beautifully told with faith and hope woven throughout。 I listened to the audio and it's a delight in her own voice， though I was so anxious to be sure everything turned out alright I ending up reading the print version for speed。 （Southern accents are a comfort and balm but they are not fast）。 I appreciated that she shared such deeply controversial and personal elements of her story， her struggles， and how Jesus walked with her througho This is at turns heartbreaking， hilarious， and all the time beautifully told with faith and hope woven throughout。 I listened to the audio and it's a delight in her own voice， though I was so anxious to be sure everything turned out alright I ending up reading the print version for speed。 （Southern accents are a comfort and balm but they are not fast）。 I appreciated that she shared such deeply controversial and personal elements of her story， her struggles， and how Jesus walked with her throughout it all even when she didn't feel she was being particularly faithful。 Her memories and worries about her family's time fostering a relative named Spud were deeply moving and evocative。 Even if you've never done a Beth Moore Bible study or know who she is， this is an excellent memoir told by a fantastic storyteller。 。。。more

Loved this so much！ I appreciate the courage and brutal honesty。 Beth has walked a hard road， the places that should be safe like family and church caused much pain and wreckage and yet， through it all， she loves Jesus， deeply， and you can hear it。 She touches on so many things in this book and I found myself in it at different places。 Her Arkansas twang to her Texas draw was charming and humorous at points。 I loved it all。 Not to say some of it wasn't hard to read， it was， bearing witness to ot Loved this so much！ I appreciate the courage and brutal honesty。 Beth has walked a hard road， the places that should be safe like family and church caused much pain and wreckage and yet， through it all， she loves Jesus， deeply， and you can hear it。 She touches on so many things in this book and I found myself in it at different places。 Her Arkansas twang to her Texas draw was charming and humorous at points。 I loved it all。 Not to say some of it wasn't hard to read， it was， bearing witness to others pain is difficult and sacred。 Thank you for letting us into your story Beth。 。。。more

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read （and by “read” I mean listened to the audio read by the author）。 Beth is an incredible wordsmith sharing her incredibly sad， vulnerable， beautifully redemptive story。 I laughed some and cried/wept more。 This book will stay with me for a long time。 “ In all the letting go， He has held me fast。 He will hold me still。 He will lead me home。 “

A beautiful， encouraging book that points to a beautiful God who shows up even in the hardest circumstances of life and who cares about the details。 Pretty sure I wept through entire chapters。

A fan of Beth Moore's since Believing God， I didn't think I could love or respect her more。 I laughed at the beginning， cheered out loud somewhere near the middle， and cried so hard I could not see to read at the end。 As per usual， she has said just what I needed to hear when I needed it。 A fan of Beth Moore's since Believing God， I didn't think I could love or respect her more。 I laughed at the beginning， cheered out loud somewhere near the middle， and cried so hard I could not see to read at the end。 As per usual， she has said just what I needed to hear when I needed it。 。。。more
