I think a niche of formulaic Christian books has grown so huge in the last 15 years that if a work of fiction "breaks the rules" it becomes tricky to recommend. I understand there are things people don't want to dwell on, but it seems the theme of a book is too often overshadowed by a reviewers' fixation on a scene. Thanks for a sensitive and thorough look at a new book.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890906422736657495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-49706965684511808772010-12-29T13:39:37.540-06:002010-12-29T13:39:37.540-06:00what a cool bookstore!

I would actually be very interested to read this. Sounds great.

I am always in the market for good books, especially those with human interest stories. This one sounds like a keeper. As for Christian/non I would say what is so wrong with reading something that is not but has a good story behind it with a message?Bill (cycleguy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09082407231475058958noreply@blogger.com
