Reviewed by Patricia Day for Readers' Favorite

Me and Jesus: God Spoke to Me by Mary F. Cook is a simply written story describing the love and strong bonds between a mother and daughter. This emotional tie proved paramount in saving the life of Mary’s mother. The writer learned of her mother’s failing health while working away from home. Realizing that her mother’s health was declining faster than should be normal, Mary returned home to find that her brother, who was responsible for the care and well being of their parent, was failing deeply in that regard.

The story is a simplistic account of the discovery of Bertha’s failing health and Mary’s intervention in the care of her beloved mother. At a very early age, Mary realized she could help change her world with her writing. It became her personal passion and goal to help the less fortunate members of society in their later years. Beginning with the unfortunate plight of her mother, her aim is now to reach out and enlighten many more on the subject of elder abuse. How she does that and what she hopes to achieve makes heart-warming reading as she reveals how true love and integrity within families could eliminate elder abuse.

How she accomplishes her goal within the confines of her own family shows the reader how easily abuse enters by way of a ‘trusted’ family member, and how easily it can be reversed – if caught in time. This book is written in a very easy to read style, with a sincere account of the discovery of and the rehabilitation of her much-loved mother after substantial abuse inflicted by another family member.

This Wonderful book, 'Me and Jesus:God Spoke To Me' is such an inspiration. It's like a Guide of Life Lessons. It is written in an easy to read manner, whereas anyone on any
educational level can read it without going to a dictionary. Also, the formatting of the book is exceptional. You can go back and re-read without going back to the beginning and trying to find it.

The book itself is a small book but is filled with so many Chapters and Stories within each Chapter. Some of the Stories are heartbreaking and will bring you to tears. Whereas others are so funny that you will burst out in Laughter. And as you continue on reading you will get so
angry as you see all of the evil things that are being done to prevent her from caring for her mother.

Overall, Mary is such a Strong person and believes in the Power of Prayer and is not ashame to get on her knees and Pray to her Father in Heaven. This Writer poured her Heart out, Truthfully,and I commend her for that.

Me and Jesus:God Spoke to Me is one of the best books that I have ever read. It touches on so many things; Strong bond between Mother and Daughter, Elder Abuse and Sibling Rivalry.

Mary shows unconditional love for her Mother, (Mrs. Bertha) and went through all kinds of hardships to reach her before her demise. This book is so heartfelt and written in such an easy to read manner.

Mary knew in her heart that she had to reach her Mother by a certain time or else it would be too late. When everything else failed in order to make the long journey to her mother, the only thing she could do was to reach back to her Christian upbringing and the Power of Prayer. After Praying to God, her prayers were immediately answered.

Upon finding her Mother at death's door, Mary had to deal with the Abuser, her own Brother, and her Mother's beloved Son. It was as if he was Satan himself and made it very hard for Mary to care for her Mother. But, through Faith, Determination and Strong Will she did what was needed to keep her Mother alive as long as she could.

And if that wasn't enough, after the death of her Mother, all of the other Siblings became Mary's worst enemy. They acted as if they were not family at all. This Wonderful
book, have several Chapters and within each Chapter, there are many stories. Some of which are about Happier Times in her and Mrs. Bertha's life. This book will make you laugh, cry and really get Angry. I am looking forward to reading the Author's next book.

I enjoyed reading this book, 'Me and Jesus:God Spoke To Me' by Mary F. Cook, so much. The Author's belief in God and the Power of Prayer had such a Chilling effect on me. Also, the Strong Bond of Love between Mother and Daughter is Breathtaking.

Now, on the other hand, her Brother, the caretaker for their Mother was beyond Evil. 'I know this is a book, but I got so angry while reading about all of the bad, and horrible things that her Brother did to their Mother, that I wanted to Beat the Crap out of him.' No one should be that mean to anyone, especially Elderly People.

I got some relief from Anger as I continued reading the other stories about Mrs. Bertha (Mary's Mother) in her younger years. I laughed so hard that I could barely stop. This book is just down right Great! It touches on so many things that people go through in life. This is a very easy to read Book and I enjoyed it so much that I read it several times. I still wanted to beat up the Brother but by the time I got to the end of the book, I knew that was impossible.

The Best Book Ever:

'Me and Jesus:God Spoke To Me' by Mary F. Cook, is such a wonderful book. It is so Spiritual and Powerful that I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it. And then I read it twice more. This woman, Mary, has so much Faith and the way God Speaks to her is absolutely mind-blowing. And the Sweet, Innocence Love that she has for her Mother is like a small child not knowing anyone else but her Mother and is lost without her.

Mary went to Great Lengths in order to get to her Mother in a timely manner. Her Mother knew that Mary was the only one of her children that she could depend on to come and take care of her. Eventhough, there was so much turmoil with the Brother, her Mother's caretaker, Mary prevailed
and did what she had to do at all cost.

Regardless of all of the Heartbreaking stories in this book, there are lots of Chapters with stories that will make you Laugh Out Loud. In my opinion, this is a Must Read Book. And you realize after reading this book that God Is Real and Prayer Changes Things.

'Me and Jesus:God Spoke To Me' is a Powerful book.
I have never read a book that was so Powerful in the Spirit of the Lord. And also, such Strong Bond between Mother and Daughter. This book taught me that sometimes some of your family members are your worst enemies. Therefore, you must be aware at all times and if you see signs don't dismiss them.

I cried a lot while reading this book because it was sad to see a Son/Brother so mean to his Mother and Sister. But, being a Woman of Faith as Mary is, she did what she had to do. I hope this Author writes more powerful stories like this, regardless of the genre.

A Must Read Book

Me and Jesus:God Spoke To Me, is a must read book. I really enjoyed this book. I read it more than once. The Writer gives a true account of what happened in her life when she heard of her Mother's illness. She went through so much to get to her before her demise.

This book teaches you that, with Strong Will, you can do the impossible. The Writer, also, takes you on a Journey through time, begining from the 1800's and bring you up to date with the time of her Mother's passing. Some of the stories are so sad, but others are extremely funny and will have you falling out of your seat from Laughter. After reading this book, I realized that The Love of Family is so important and you should be kind to everyone, especially our Elderly. When you reach a certain age, you can't do as you used too. Therefore you need Very Kind, Loving and Caring Caretakers.
