Brenda's Gift: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: God's Work Over Time
Review: A wondrous tale of the book of Psalms as it passes through the hands of everyday folks over the course of a generation. Insight into God's unexpected impact on a variety of lives that are open, and not, to His Word and love.

Summary: A Gift, Indeed
Review: I read quite a bit of Christian fiction and unfortunately, I have to say I am disappointed in much of it. But not so with this book. It is a wonderfully crafted story, in which the author follows a book of psalms through several lives that it touches, weaving their stories together and showing how lives may touch each other without even knowing, and how God's word speaks to the needs in all kinds of different situations. Mrs. Yates is also realistic in that not every life is changed as a result of the book coming into the person's hands. Some of the stories are heartbreaking, some are humorous, but the book as a whole is very uplifting and hopeful and reminds us that God is always working in our lives.
