I will certainly try.
It's getting chilly and sipping coffee and reading here on this forum does sound appealing. |

I'm really not a fiction fan and dragged my feet for a few months because I don't usually make time for "frivolous" type books. But I was so blessed by reading this book and having some grace issues cemented in my heart and mind.
I've found my very "religious" friends are not saying anything good about this book. I feel badly that they have closed their minds to the revelation of God's love outside of their own performance. I have been set free by seeking God's heart about what it means to be in Christ and not religious. I'm not anti religion but it does tend to give me a sour taste in my mouth. Thanks for writing such a thought provoking piece of fiction. |

Hi new here.
I'm not a fiction fan but had so many friends make comments about this book (good and not so good) from other forums and on Facebook. I have been on a quest to discover the richness of God's grace and getting off the treadmill of performance to try to please Father God. I always felt empty in so much religious stuff that I felt trapped by. This work of fiction has helped to cement this concept of God accomplished everything for relationship with his children. I'm so convinced that Jesus paid 100% of the price for my sin (past, present and even future sin) so why should I keep trying to pay that price. I mentioned I'm not a fiction fan (give me a juicy commentary any day) and it was hard at first to get past the author's image of Papa being a motherly figure but it makes so much sense since the main character had serious father issues. I had mother issues so in my vision of God a Abba would make more sense. I am passing this book on to bless others. We all need to have the eyes of our hearts enlightened (flooded with light) to really grasp the height, width and breadth of God's love for us. |
