"What a beautifully written book about the struggles one goes through to get to the "high places" where God wants us to be. I am in a bible study at church and it is really an elegantly written book with lessons about what God is trying to teach us about life and our journey through it." — Janeelizkelso (5 out of 5 stars)

" Such a sweet allegory of salvation. "
" One of the best allegories on the Christian life ever written. My mother first read it aloud to us kids when I was 9 years old. So beautiful. I read it again on my own when I was 12, then a few more times :) "
" Truly one of my favorites. "
" Sorry.. couldn't get into it. "
" Its the story of my life, in allegory form! It encourages me, and every time I read it I learn something new. "
" wonderful use of metaphor :) "
" This is one I read at least once a year. Full of good analogies of my walk with God. "
" I found the metaphor of this book trite and uninspiring. I know that many look to it as a spiritual favorite, but I was unimpressed with the writing and the depth of the truths presented. It seemed rather simplistic. "
" One of the most inspiring books I have read. No Christian should miss reading this classic. "
" I love this book. I read it back in the 80,s . . A story of personal growth, aacceptance, friendship. It's a great read "
" amazzzzing allegory. "
" This sweet book will inspire any wayfaring traveler on their way to the High Places! "
" God tells us in His word that He will never leave us nor forsake us. This book keeps your focus on how He truly is there for us even when we feel alone. "
" This is a beautiful allegory, and very encouraging. It is one of my favorite books - top ten. "
" I suppose it is a good book for most ppl. Not much my style...Haven't finished the book. I think I read couple chapters and decided it's not a book I'll enjoy... "
" Absolutely must read "
" I recommend every women read this! Love this book and great spiritual allegory ! "
" Also read 10/1/1992 "
" This is another one of my favorites. I have read it many times. "
" This was the first Allegory book I ever read. I will never forget it. "
" A classic for every Christian...one of my all time favorites! A must read! "
" One of my favorites. This was important when I became a new Christian "
" Love this book..It has made me view my walk with Jesus in a better way! Excited to lern more!! "
" This book absolutely changed my life. I read it in 8th grade, and then again in highschool. It's an allegory on the Human soul and it's quest of being drawn personally to the Lord. It's beautifully written, and strikes you at the depths of your soul. I loved it. "
" I read this book when I was younger. It is an alegorical tale of a young girls self esteem and search for worth in a world that seems ugly and cold. "
" I felt this was a very encouraging book that displays the trouble we walk through in life and how "The Good Shepard" will help us if we ask for it. I love this book. "
" Very motivating..I felt the love of the Lord Almighty and how all things are possible for us through Him.. "
" Worst allegory ever. The least subtle agenda posing as story I've ever read. If you've ever travelled with sorrow and suffering, you'll be insulted. "
" I know...this is supposed to be a devotional classic Compared to other great mystics, and priests, and such who have written amazing, profound works, I found this to be so, so dull! "
" This is sort-of a female version of 'Pilgrim's Progress'. I'm almost done, and so far it's good. I got it for my birthday, and I like to read read when I listen to Francesca Battistelli. "
" Truthful and powerful message that is expressed in a gentle way. The imagery is poetic & delightful. I found it easy to relate to the main character. Highly recommended to new Christians and older Christians alike. Lovely allegory. I will be rereading this one. "
" Yuck! What if God lied to you, would you still trust him? To be totally honest, this was one of the most ridiculous God books I've ever read. Highly recommended in The Rooms, and I can see why! One of those paradoxes, I guess. Maybe I just didn't Get It. "
" I can never keep this book on my shelf. I keep giving it away and buying another. A beautiful allegory written with heart and perception. A must read for Christians in trouble. :) "
" My all time favorite in my first years of growing in Christ "
" I read this as a young teen and I still remember it, which is why I rate it 5 stars. If I re-read it as an adult, not sure what the rating would be. "
