Thank you to everyone who submitted their 4-sentence reviews for January. Looks like we've found a few gems in our stacks of books!
I'm pleased to announce our January winners. Remember, we'll be choosing the month's "spotlight" review, plus drawing another "door" prize from the names of everyone who posted a review for that month.
Our January spotlight review is Linda Hoye's review of "Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession" by Anne Rice.
This book was a fascinating journey of Rice’s journey through her childlike faith, to atheism, and ultimately a return to her faith. The first part of the book made me nostalgic for a past that wasn’t my own, but that she depicted in such a way as to make me yearn for the simpler faith-filled time in which she grew up. Her journey away from the church of her childhood, and eventually away from her God was presented in such a way that allowed the reader to empathize and even understand some of her choices. Rice’s honesty in describing her return to her faith is commendable and, while I may not agree with her completely, I appreciate her sharing her experience and expect that this book will resonate with many who have stepped away from the faith of their childhood.
Our door prize winner is Rhonda Esakov. I'll be contacting both winners so you can pick your prizes and we can arrange delivery. Congrats! And I'll be seeing the rest of you back here at the challenge blog for February's reviews!
