i have just read one of the most redemptive books ever. it is called the atonement child. it is written by francine rivers and boy will it take your breath away. it is so candid and raw. it deals with a very difficult situation. i won't tell you what it is, because it might make you not want to read it. but it is so worth it.
God's redemptive power is so amazing it transcends time and paper. His power and grace and mercy and love just pour out of the pages. there were times that He is speaking to the main character, and you feel like he is talking to you. what a powerful book.
thank you Jesus for you mercy and grace. we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. His redemptive power spills off the pages and into your lap as you are reading this book. did i already say that. thank you that you are no respecter of persons and that you love us all just the same. we can never earn your love. but it is always waiting for us at the other end of your redemptive power.
you will laugh, cry, be humbled, and be uplifted.

I'm up for a good read. Can I borrow it on my vacation?
I am still standing in faith that there will be a suitable time to read somewhere off in the distance of this thing called motherhood...
after your book review, I think I'm in. Glad it blessed you so!
I've read it. She's right. Read it. Good book.
i'm so glad you finished it now we can talk about it.
You're right - that's an awesome book! Now you need to read "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. Even more incredible. It's a parallel of the story of Hosea marrying the prostitute. Best book ever.....
