Besides the fact that Candace Cameron Bure wrote this book, I was drawn to it because it had to do with courage and conviction. For me personally, conviction plays a huge role in my life. From an early age, I set my convictions, values, and morals to what I wanted them to be from what I saw in others and what I had heard or learned about. Just like Candace, I am also a Christian so my convictions are close to what hers are. Candace described conviction as, "the thing that keeps me grounded in my faith." When I read that statement, I felt uplifted and inspired. I know personally that the convictions I have placed in my life keep me grounded in my faith, just like Candace.
I would love to tell you guys about the convictions that I have on my life. As a Christian, I have made my convictions biblical convictions. I live a life with Christlike character, I don't see rated R movies, I don't use swear words, I put Christ first in all that I do, I watch family friendly programs, I don't listen to music that has swear words in it or is derogatory towards people, I try not to judge others, and these are just a few. These are convictions that I can't be moved on. I literally stand firm on them, just like Candace does in her convictions. When I made my convictions, I knew that it would be tough to keep them and that the world would tempt me to go against them. I know that with Jesus Christ by my side, that I can keep my convictions. He is the reason I stay true to who I am because He molded me and crafted me into the person I am today.
I love that Candace decided to write a book about her experience on Dancing With The Stars. I love this show as well, but a person's convictions can be tested. I am glad that Candace stood firm on what she believes and wrote about it. This book can be a tool for other celebrities that have the same convictions as Candace to know that you can still keep your beliefs and be on this type of show. Also, this book shows that doing a show like Dancing with the Stars will bring lots of hard work, struggles, challenges and fun times all in one adventure. The truth is that a person with biblical values and conviction can do a show like this and show others who they really are.
With all of this said, I 100% recommend Dancing Through Life by Candace Cameron Bure. It is a great read. A book that will change your life for the better. It is well worth the money you spend on it. My prayer for those that do read it, is that God's power will shine through Candace's story into your life. May the Lord bless you all.
