A few months back, my friend Sela tuned me on to BookSneeze . It's a website that gives you free books to read, so long as you submit a 200 word review on your personal blog and on a consumer review site. I couldn't pass that up. So below is my first review.
Resurrection in May by Lisa Samson is the story of a girl called May. Along May’s journey to learn that there is much more to life, she meets and develops relationships with numerous people, though not evident at the time, strategically placed by God.
In part one of the book, May meets a gentle old farmer named Claudius who helps May to learn that life moves on despite the past. May needs time to heal and learn to believe that God is present in all circumstances and Claudius is willing to offer her that time. Part one, in my opinion, reads slowly and simply; very much a reflection of life on Claudius farm.
In part two of the book, after nearly a decade on the farm, May begins to move forward in life with a little help from Eli, a murder on death row. They share numerous conversations about what it means to forgive and to seek forgiveness. The irony is not lost on the reader that an attempted murder victim and a murder are developing a life changing relationship and understanding of who God is and when He is present.
The book was overall a good read and recommendable.
