I really enjoyed this story. The main character was someone I could relate to to some extent, and I loved how his heart for the Lord came through so much. His mother was the kind of long-suffering person I admire (although I don’t know that I agree with all her decisions), and the story was well-written and engaging. I did find it a bit moralistic, though, which was somewhat disappointing. Overall, this was a good story; it’s not my favorite of Kauffman’s titles, but it was worth reading. I came away encouraged to keep seeking the Lord no matter what, and that, I think, is worth something! Recommended, if you enjoy Christian fiction. ( )
