5.0 out of 5 stars A great read

This book made me laugh and made me weep. It brings out all the emotions that make a book a great read. Stephen’s book chronicles real- life experiences and the reader can easily relate. He makes it okay to be vulnerable. Stephen juxtaposes his struggles and triumphs and through his faith you are able to see how he has been victorious.
If you are ready to laugh, and weep and purge those things that are just below the surface, then Stephen’s fun, and raw accounts of his life with his amazing family will help you to be braver about uncovering your own ‘stuff!’.

I love this book because it is easy to read, and because it’s so relatable. There’s a lesson, and a laugh on every page. We need more books like this!

5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely LOVED this book!

As an avid reader, I could not put this book down! It held my interest from the beginning to the end. Every night I look forward to watching The Miller Family on YouTube, and now after reading Stephen Miller's book, I enjoy watching their family events even more. It truly touched my heart to read about Stephen Miller's stories regarding his mishaps, childhood bullying, life-and-death experiences, and growing up as a young kid who helped support his mother.

I have read a lot of books in my 62 years, and this one is a MUST READ! The chapters are filled with good, honest humor that is written from the heart. You go, Stephen Miller! And thank you for sharing your life with truth, honesty and transparency as a solid Christian man. You should be so proud of yourself!

May God bless you and your beautiful family. You all have touched my heart!

Let me start by saying, I had no clue if this book was going to be good or not. You see I pre-ordered the book because I follow Stephen and his family on you tube and I love their channel so why not support his new book. June 7th finally came and I received the book. Again being honest I didn't pick it up for days. Lol.. when I finally did I couldn't put it down. Stephen had me laughing out loud, he is funny, getting teary because I could so relate to something he mentioned. This book is so real, it takes you down the journey of his life and reminds you noone is perfect. We all get anxiety at 1 thing or another, we all procrastinate at some point and deal with the consequences later. Maybe not $2500 worth but we do. I truly absolutely loved this book. Thank you Stephen for sharing your journey and reminding us life is all about " The art of getting it wrong".

I found myself CRACKING UP in this book. I am a follower of the Miller family and have been waiting for when I could finally snatch this book and I finally did! It’s been on my wishlist on Amazon forever haha. First off, this book has made me think so much about the mistakes I’ve made in life and how I should amend them. Stephen is also HILARIOUS and makes this inspiring book something lighthearted. Super super recommend to anyone who is going through life because we all make mistakes!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2023
This book spoke to my heart on so many levels. Even better when you buy the audio book and listen as Stephen reads you the book as you follow along. This is the best book purchase I made in the last few years. Highly encourage you to get it. MUST READ

5.0 out of 5 stars A book full of encouragement, positivity, and insight!

I am glad I purchased this book. Stephen Miller writes stories that are not only insightful, but hilarious. Reading through felt like a breeze and the way Stephen writes makes it feel like he's in the room with you. He's not talking at you, but with you. It feels personal and fun reading about his experiences. It was also heartwarming hearing such encouraging words from a dad's perspective. So much positivity and inspiration from this book. Give it a read. You will not regret it!

The Art of Getting it Wrong offers a light-hearted take on some deep perspectives of life and faith. Stephen, through humor, experience, and vulnerability, shares that we are all human, and we are inevitably going to fail; but through failure, challenges, and mistakes, we learn and grow. Overall, the message is that, no matter what, you are not your failures, and “It’s gonna be okay.” I recommend journaling along as you read; especially focus on: the failures that you are not, and what would really matter in your life if tomorrow, next week, or next month was your last. This book is a lesson on self-reflection, giving yourself grace, and learning as you go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very inspirational book.
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2022
This was an amazing book. I love the humor in it. I read it when I was quarantined from COVID and pneumonia. It helped me get through the loneliness. The only bad thing was it made me laugh which is not so good when you cough every time you laugh. ????
I recently purchased it on audio. Stephan's voice is very soothing and just makes you feel good.
