Between these covers may be your spark to eternal life or a ticket to everlasting confusion...depending on how you look at it. For we all have the greatest intentions at heart regardless of whatever we may desire to accomplish. Our faith provides energy and focus during the lifelong scamper down the path of righteousness. However, one thing that poses the greatest challenge is the fact that no human being can escape being human... til death do us part. Temptation lies behind each exit off of Heaven s highways. Detours become more alluring as construction takes place within the most crucial times of our lives - in turn, potentially providing a next day delivery service to hell s doorstep. Wretched Saints provides a literary window through which we may possibly see traits of ourselves within one or more of the characters as they learn the hard way to listen when God is talking. Thus His signal, when digested properly allows suppression of sinful urges opening up the door, for spiritual growth. Are you a Wretched Saint? Open the covers...and see. Of course our desire is to walk within The Kingdom s Neighborhood, but it can be very difficult leaving the alluring amenities of home. We have the protocol down pat; especially when others can witness us witnessing. However, when backs are turned and the sun has set, the righteous hotness of the self-proclaimed saint can suddenly turn lukewarm. Although the tongue can no longer house rationalizations, we still find a way to verbally cover spiritual deficits...thus casting us further into a pit of unrighteous debt surrounded by several unused shovels.

Fiction with a hard spin on the truth....,
By
This review is from: Wretched Saints (Paperback)
Wretched Saints is a book that shadows the truth of many everyday people. It offers the readers a look inside many taboos that we all go through but are too afraid to admit. Each character has something so interesting and familiar about them, that it continues to draw you in deeper with each story you read.The characters will have you rooting for them....even if they fall short. Wretched Saints is a collection of stories that will have you checking to mirror to be sure you are not one of these sinking saints. Love it!
