How to be victorious in life through God's intervention... October 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a poignant statement on our society today that for many of us seems unreal. The idea that this kind of abuse in the family and the foster care system happens under our noses is sad. My eyes have been opened in other ways in recent times, so I'm not as naive as I used to be. This book sums it up about as well as anything I can imagine. It is a moving book, but more than that it is a beautiful story about triumphing in life with God.
Margaret says it like this in her prologue, "MY GOD BOX is the revelation of how I shattered the victim mindset; a self-defamatory attitude that actually made me more of a victim than the devastating circumstances of my life."
I highly recommend this book to anyone that has been victimized in their past or present to see how God's intervention can drastically alter your life.
overcoming the tragedy of foster care May 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Margaret Iuculano's "My God Box" personalizes the failures of our country's foster care system. Sticking to the facts of her own childhood, Margaret lets the reader conclude who the victims and predators are. She also gives credit along the way to those who loved her, both people who were part of the foster care system and her own family members. The main hero in the end is Margaret herself. She used the power of forgiveness and overcame the hand she was dealt to become a personal and business success. This is a story that deserves to be read. I hope it is made into a movie to inspire today's child in the foster care system.

Margaret Iuculano's, My God Box was an absolutely compelling and motivational read. Her heroic story of her continuous struggle to find her home as a young adult and her ultimate redemption is truly moving. Not only does this book shake your heart strings, but it also gives you a true insight to what its really like to grow up in the foster care system. This book is a great read for anyone who has ever felt as if they don't belong, or have ever felt they were struggling to find their place in the world against the worst odds. I really look forward to her next book!
Amazing testament of faith February 19, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Margaret Iuculano's My God Box is an amazing testament to the power of the Lord in sowing seeds of faith in His creatures. Beautifully written, the book is encouraging and enligtening. It seminates HOPE--Regardless of the path we have taken or are forced to take because of unforseen circumstances there is always the possibility to change direction. I also appreciate the author's passion to help children--there is no nobler cause than to care for and about the innocent and the vulnerable. She will be in my prayers. This wonderful book should be read by all---those who believe and those who want to believe.
