Finding God in the Dark

Who hasn't been hurt by someone? Who hasn't felt the sting of doubt, fear, condemnation, guilt? I'm sure all of us can relate to something that has happened in our life where we have felt lost, alone, and in despair. I'm sure there have been plenty of times where you have felt like God wasn't around- especially when you needed Him to be.

Finding God in the Dark is a great book about learning to seek God when things don't seem to be going the way that you had your life planned to be going. I appreciate the men sharing their personal life struggles and feelings in the book. I enjoy reading books like this; it helps "bring it home" and make it more personal. The writing is easy and is a fairly quick read. It is written in a way that anyone would be able to understand. You don't need to be a philosophical genius to be able to read this and understand what God wants for you. 

Broken Wings

I have to admit. I'm a sucker for sugary, sappy teen romance novels. I devoured the Twilight series when each book came out. I know Harry Potter isn't a 'romance' but, yet again....devour. I just wish so many of the romance novels on the adult market weren't so trashy. Honestly...you mean you can't have a love story without sex or vulgarity? Oh, publishers....I do believe you can. But once again, we are catering to the world's desires.

When I first picked up Broken Wings, I didn't realize that it was part of a trilogy. So, I had to go and read the first book. Then I read the second book. (and now....I patiently wait for the third book.....). I love Jake. Can I just admit that? I fell in love with Jake so quickly. All the characters come to life on the page and I feel like I get to know each of them, but Jake.....sigh. (See.....teen romance...got to love it). I felt like I was actually in Stratus with all the characters. I love Shannon's depiction of the angels. When I pictured them, I felt safe and protected. 

I don't know if Broken Wings was really meant just for teenagers or not. But as a thirty-one year old woman, I enjoyed reading it. Guess every now and then a little light reading is good for the soul, no matter what your age. I would recommend this book to anyone that has read any teen romance series. I think you will enjoy it.
