ANSWERING SARAH.
reviewed by Jessica Baker.
"The was the first book I’ve read by Nancy Shew Bolton, so I was not sure what to expect, but I enjoyed the book very much. I felt she wrote the characters in a realistic way that made it easy for me to imagine them going about their day. Their reactions were in line for the time period, as were their views. I have to admit, reading this made me wish our world today could go backwards into a time when people put God first rather than themselves.
There was one small plot that had a big impact on me. There was a time when Sarah was discussing her feelings with a man (I don’t want to spoil it for you!). She admitted to him the she loved him more than the Lord and she felt a little jealous of him declaring he would always put the Lord first. I can personally relate to this, as I feel my human nature makes me think I will always love my husband the most and put him first. But if we are to stay true to God’s desire for us, we need to put Him first. I appreciated the author including this part of the storyline. I enjoyed seeing how Sarah came to terms with her feelings and the steps she took after that. It really made me think about how I need to apply those principals in my own life.
This book was sweet and a clean read. The characters recognized God as their source of authority and were quick to admit their faults. I recommend this book to those who like a good love story, a theme central to the Lord, and a clean story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Prism Book Club in exchange for an honest review which I have given."
