Awakening Mercy

Rating:
Summary: OUTSTANDING
Review: I read this book this last week-end along with book two. Both caused me to search myself. Awakening Mercy made me search my spirit and think about what anger I would not let go. I felt the pain of Nate and CeCe. This book was a soul searching experience because it made me remember What God has for me is for and when a door closes there is a reason. CeCe had to realize what a caring person she had in Nate. She also like some many of us had to understand she had made herself a victim. Holding on to anger will cause us to see only our side of any situation. We make ourselves victims when we don't want to face our role in what happens to us. I was so happy when CeCe saw the light and heard God's voice. I loved the book and I am looking forward to Book Three...

Summary: Great Book
Review: I really enjoyed this book. CeCe and Nate showed that you can have a beautiful relationship without over stepping Gods rules. Nate was so supportive of CeCe. No matter what he was by her side. CeCe proved that being a single parent didn't mean you had to give up your life. She was able to achieve a great career, buy a home and raise a child. Yes, she had to learn to forgive which would allow her to blossom in Gods gifts but she was great.

Summary: ANOTHER WOMAN'S HUSBAND
Review: IF THIS AUTHOR IS A CHRISTIAN, THEN WHY WOULD SHE ENCOURAGE ADULTERY? NATE WAS ANOTHER WOMAN'S HUSBAND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DIVORCED FROM NAOMI. ADULTERY IS A SIN. BY HIM MARRYING CECE, HE HAS CAUSED HER TO COMMIT ADULTERY TOO. SEE MARK 10:11 AND LUKE 16:18. AND ROMANS 7:1,2,3. THIS LOVE STORY WOULD BE NICE IF ONLY NATE HAD NEVER BEEN MARRIED PRIOR TO MEETING CECE. ALTHOUGH IT WAS ANNOYING THAT SHE OVER DID MOST OF THE SEQUENCES. FOR INSTANCE, IF THEY WENT TO A BASEBALL GAME, SHE SPENT SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS DESCRIBING EVERYTHING! LIKE HOW HE HELD HER HAND AND HOW HE GAZED INTO HER EYES AND HOW DAVID LOVED HIS MASCULINE ARMS PICKING HIM UP, ETC. SO FAR, THERE'S ONLY ONE CHRISTIAN ROMANCE NOVEL THAT I READ THAT WAS SPEAKING THE TRUTH AND THAT BOOK'S CALLED "THAT FAITH, THAT LOVE, THAT TRUST."

Summary: God's Mercies are new every day.
Review: This book is excellent. It shows how God is always there if we acknowledge him. I got so much out of book. I like that Nathan center their relationship around prayer. No matter how hectic things got for them they continue to pray together. Prayer does changes things and a Family that Prays together sure stays together. I am looking forward to hearing more on CeCe and Nathan in the future.

Summary: Refreshing spin on romance
Review: This was a really good book. I didn't want to read it for the obvious reasons. However, I picked it up and found it to be a pleasant surprise and a welcome departure from the traditional "romance" novels. There were some lessons to be learned by and from the characters. I have a new perspective on how to give and receive forgiveness and on relationships. Fiction or not, I liked this couple and I was even hoping they would get together. Without giving away a lot of the storyline, I was glad that it ended the way it did. We all have a lot of work to do.

Summary: A Job Well Done!
Review: This was cute, It really shows how christians should date. It shows how communication is the key to everything. Another big thing that some people do is ask God for forgiveness, but we don't forgive our selves.

Summary: A Godly Relationship at it's Finest!
Review: Though fictional, "Awakening Mercy" could be a book on how to have and maintain a godly relationship. I immediately stepped into CeCe's shoes, sharing her pain as well as her triumphs. Nate is exceptional -- a good model for a godly man. Nate not only assists CeCe with recognizing her failures, but also takes a hard look in the mirror to recognize his own. He provides the help that CeCe needs through loving support and with prayer. "Awakening Mercy" is a wonderful Christian novel without being too "preachy." I am looking forward to Ms. Benson's next novel.
