lots of different kinds of books these days -
A recent one is When Through Deep Waters
Alicen, the main character of this book, appeared
to have a life that many people dream of when it all comes crashing but it all dissolves pretty quickly after a tragic event.
This book takes us on her journey to wholeness
after devastating losses.
I enjoyed seeing that
a deep friendship endured and that an old friend stayed by her side and
had her best interest at heart even in the midst of adversity with her
own family and those who were supposed to be helping her.
Throughout the book there was subtle references to
God’s saving grace, which I loved, but I was concerned about the
blurred line between hallucinations and spirits speaking to her --
and the
implication that these may have been sent by God.
This bothered me to the point of skipping some of these sections,
so to
be fair, I may not have grasped the entire story.
Still, I enjoyed
seeing that in the end, she seemed to come to wholeness in her
acceptance of her life and the relationships that surrounded
her.
I love this quote, “Please don’t blame yourself for
any of this … It was a journey I had to take. I was called here for a
reason. I had to walk through these shadows to discover who I am.
To
find peace with the world and with myself.”
My thought is that, with God, we can all find this peace she speaks about -
I received a free copy of this book for review purposes -
