Overall
rating I gave this book is 5+ stars.
It is very intriguing
to see the three main characters meet and develop very strong bonds with one
another. I also am impressed how the
author gently introduces the subject of God and then continues to provide the
message of the gospel; to use the author’s words in her notes at the end of the
book: “This is a story of freedom from the bondage of shame. Freedom found through believing the truth of
God’s Word.” The title is the one word
that explains how we ought not to think that God sees us!
At the beginning of
each chapter the author has chosen a quote from Saint Augustine and I wondered
each time I read the quote how this would finally connect. I was not disappointed as Ginny Yttrup does a
subpurb job in in the development of both the characters and relates their issues
to a man who lived nearly two centuries before.
“Men go abroad to
wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long
courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular
motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.” Saint
Augustine
This author is
excellent in describing issues that many women struggle with; she provides insight into the issues and provides the reader a first person account
to gain understanding. This is definitely a book that “encouraged, entertained,
and energized” me “by this message,” quoted
from the review by Marilyn Meberg on the back of the book.
I can’t wait to read Words, and Lost and Found (other
books written by Ginny L. Yttrup.
