Gideon only ever cared about himself. Now that Lonnie is his wife,
will he ever be worthy of her heart?
Coming October 2, 2012 from WaterBrook Multnomah
My Review:
"Be Still My Soul
"is set in the Appalachian hills of Virginia. . Having been raised by
an abusive father Lonnie Sawyer is looking forward to her 18th birthday,
when she plans to move in with her Aunt Sarah. Lonnie is very shy and
is made to marry Gideon O'Riley after her father thinks she has been
compromised. Gideon has a lot of growing up to do and finds himself in
situations that could have been avoided. Can he learn from these life
lessons?
"Be Still My Soul"
is a coming of age look into the lives of Lonnie and Gideon. They meet
Elsie and Jebediah, an elderly couple who find the time and patience to
take them in. Lonnie holds tight to her faith throughout the book. There
are many lessons to be learned in their story. I would love to have my
grand daughters read this book and plan to buy them a copy.
Lonnie was comforted by God's word many times. Examples of these are:
"Fear not for I have redeemed thee, I have called they by thy name; thou art mine."
"When
thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the
rivers; they shall not overflow thee. When thou walkest through the
fire, thou shalt not be burned."
I give this book a 4.5 out of 5 and look forward to Joanne's next book in The Candace Of Grace Series. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 14.
Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers provided me with a complimentary e-book
for review purposes. I was not paid to review this book and give my
honest opinion for each book I read.
