    C’ing Your Way Clear: Every Woman’s Guide to Handling Life’s Storms

    “C’ing Your Way Clear” by Toya L. Evans is a self-help book targeting the female population; more specifically women who are facing any kind of a challenge in their lives. It is narrated through a series of stories, told by everyday women, who faced very diverse challenges and managed to overcome them. Toya L. Evans distills those stories into “lessons learned” and provides the reader with “exercise for the day,” showing the path to resolution.

    Showing the reader how to realize the immense power that God has over us and the potential to help us if we want, Ms. Evans explains that we should and could not live in fear if we want to overcome whatever challenges are thrown into our paths. She shows how one can overcome just about anything by creating a plan and following it, while never forgetting the gratitude for all of the wondrous gifts given to us.

    While I found certain of the stories really uplifting, others left me pretty cold and I just could not relate to some of the choices that were made by some of the narrators. I also did not have any “aha” moments while reading this book. Although the advice is perfectly competent and reasonable, I did not feel that I’ve learned anything new from “C’ing Your Way Clear” nor gained any particularly amazing insights. Everything I’ve read there is either something I’ve been doing all along or something I’ve read about in a good few other self-help books before.

    There is no doubt in my mind that “C’ing Your Way Clear” will be helpful to some individuals, and as I stated previously, I found the advice competent and reasonable. This is definitely a book geared more towards Christian population, and those with strong religious beliefs in general, although the plan outlined in it could be followed by just about anybody who truly desires to find a solution for trials and tribulations they find themselves in.
