Truly, I sooo enjoy your perspective on these book reviews :) This one sounds intense and suspenseful, but also love the theme of learning to trust Jesus and praising Him even in the midst of suffering. LOVE the cover on this one also! I learn something from each author on this blog and I'm grateful for the thoughtful reviews :)<br />Hugs and blessings Marian!<br /><br />PS. Trusting someone is a gift and after a person has hurt me I'm happy to forgive, but can't think of one example where I've learned to trust that individual again. I'm sure it's possible and happens every day, but I can't relate. God bless those who are able to to accomplish this because second chances are also a gift :) <br /><br />LOL to Anne's comment! I agree with you and Vicki!! There's always room for another book or two, just have to find the time to read them all :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614027325058527714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-46921493124245992202013-01-29T13:00:42.711-05:002013-01-29T13:00:42.711-05:00Thanks for your kind words about my review, Andrew...Thanks for your kind words about my review, Andrew!Marian Baayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990486522138340848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-91648945937741193572013-01-29T13:00:08.072-05:002013-01-29T13:00:08.072-05:00Thanks, Anne. :)Thanks, Anne. :)Marian Baayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990486522138340848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-2369099985666211522013-01-29T12:59:38.650-05:002013-01-29T12:59:38.650-05:00Thank you, DIANA.

Love the setting!<br /><br />I have had to go through the process many times of trusting and forgiving people after they have done me wrong. However, some people you can forgive but it may not be wise to trust them again! We must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves -- the Bible says in Matthew 10:16.

There is one person however that I've learnt 'not' to trust after way too many heartbreaks, but that is only because the issue is not acknowledged or dealt with. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368483978360906629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-66408481631567212322013-01-29T02:36:27.424-05:002013-01-29T02:36:27.424-05:00Yes, several times I have but don't want to go...
