5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting and Enjoyable, January 14, 2006

This review is from: Bitter Water (Paperback)

I truly enjoyed this trip to Small Town, USA. I was able to walk the streets and see the sights as Mara did. I experienced her pain and joy as she sought answers with a forgiving spirit. The author was able to draw me into the character in a way that was truly inspiring and uplifting, while also allowing the Holy Spirit to convict me for my unforgiveness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gently Inspiring, January 3, 2006

By 

Eagle Heart (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bitter Water (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed journeying with Mara back to her roots. I found inspiration in her ability to stay true to herself despite having to face the pain of her father's rejection all over again. Smith's book is warmly written, gently riveting, and an inspiring reminder of just how much courage and ability to persevere through "bitter waters" can come from being rooted in faith, especially a faith in God that has been honed by those same bitter waters.
