I recently completed this book. It has risen to the top of my favorite list. When telling my Mom and sister about this book I started crying. I had no idea it had had that much of an impact on me. I know this for sure: God cares about the prodigals. And He cares about those who are waiting for them to come home.
A Classic! A tale of redemption and sacrifice. And really, who can’t love a guy who can write sentences like Mr. Dickens?
History! War! Secret Spy Stuff! AND forgiveness! Andy Andrews, the author, has said this is his favorite book he has written. I concur!
I first read this book years ago. I loved it so much I shared it with my husband. The principles and wisdom imparted by a gentleman called Jones are priceless.
This book made quite the impact on both my husband and me. We even adapted lessons from the book and it’s sequel for our young adult bible study. It solidified within us decision making skills and shifted perspectives on so many levels that we couldn’t keep it to ourselves. This is a book to share. I’ve encouraged friends and family (especially my young adult kids) to read this book. Mr. Andrews brings wisdom into our lives through his words.
Don’t forget the sequel! This is my husbands absolute favorite book of all time. And Mr. Andrews is his favorite author.
I’m a huge fan of historical fiction. This one just happens to be my fav!
Okay. So, this one is completely frivolous; but, we listened to this book on a family vacation. My kids didn’t even want to get out of the car to eat. They just wanted to stay in the car. To say this book is riveting would not be an understatement!
Yes. I know. I wrote this one. So, I’m prejudiced. But the cover art by Dawn Estella still amazes me. The process of writing this book forever changed me. I am not the person I was when I began writing this book. My hope is that others are healed as they read these words. We were created to FLY!
Marriage takes work. I read this book at a time in my life when the theme resonated with me.
One Moment in Time
Have you ever had one of those “perfect moments” in time? These moments are not as rare as we may believe. Yet, sometimes we can miss them completely or take them for granted if we are not paying attention. I had just such “a perfect moment” as a young child. I was reminded of it …

Wrestling With God?
Jacob wrestled with God. He seems to be a man who had wrestled his whole life. He wrestled with Esau, his brother, both in birth and in life. He wrestled with his parents and then with his father-in-law, Labaan. He wrestled with his wives who wrestled with one another. He even wrestled with his sons, …

Stay Alert! Four Things the Enemy Wants to Accomplish and How to Overcome his Tactics
I rarely, if ever, share dreams which I believe have meaning. Primarily because they are usually for me to pray through. That said, I share this today, because I believe there is a message here for the church. We must “be alert and of sober mind, for our enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” I Peter 5:8 NIV
