I received  Bonhoeffer: Pator, Maryr, Prophet, Spy from Booksneeze so that I may provide a review.

I was so looking forward to reading this book as I have seen many reviews about it and the historical aspect piqued my curiosity.  Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the author’s style of writing.  The book is told in 3^rd person and is very dry.  This could have been an exciting non-fiction book and I do hope a movie is made that will captivate the audience as I think a well written book could have. 

The book begins with long detailed writings about Bonhoeffer’s family background and tedious details to his childhood.  I was so bogged down by the testimonies of family and friends evaluating Dietrich’s life.  A quick synopsis would have been better leading up to the actual detail of his planning and effort to assassinate Hitler.   

This is one book where a Scripts notebook would come in handy!

Book Review

I received a free book from Booksneeze to review on my Kindle. 
The book was The Water's Edge.
Why is it that life never proceeds as simply as you'd like them?  Tom Crane is the son of now deceased John Crane, esquire.  Tom plans to return home and within a few weeks wrap up his father's business.  Twists and turns happen one after another. 
This is a light read although enough to keep me interested to find out in the end what happens.  Will Tom remain in small town Bethal or return to the big city Atlanta.  With examples of trust and faith by his dad and uncle will Tom now "see" the light? 
Water's Edge ultimately is about coming full circle to deeply buried feelings and how to move forward.
