The Bridge

Summary: The Bridge
Review: "This is a beautiful story dealing with the confrontation of one's painful past. Bergren truly allows her characters to be 'sifted' (as Beth Moore would say). When the character opens the bleeding wound and allows Father God to rinse it out and bandage it, healing lies in wait."

Summary: Great book!! It won't let you down!
Review: As all of Lisa Tawn Bergren's books this was another great story. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. It is a wonderful story connecting the past to the present. Lisa creatively weaved the love God has for all of us throughout the generations. She describes the Montana countryside so wonderfully, it will make you want to spend your summer there! Can't wait for Lisa's next book!!

Summary: Heartwarming and Realistic
Review: Finally, a love story that doesn't seem completely unrealistic. Bergren weaves a heartwarming story of a relationship between Jared and Eden, two adults who are definitely NOT looking to get involved in a relationship. I loved the way their relationship developed slowly and with much thought for what was best for each other and what would be pleasing to God. This is one book I have gladly recommended to my teenage daughter in hopes that she will see how seeking God's will is always the best way to make a choice that will affect your whole life. A great read--I didn't want to put it down!

Review: Finally, an awesome writer who incorporates Christian characters and values into a book!!! I was hooked from the first page. I didn't want the story to end! I loved the story within a story and the characters coming full circle! I hope to be reading more Lisa Tawn Bergren books in the future.

Summary: Disappointing......
Review: I read "Torchlight" right before i read this book and had only one problem with it- it ended abruptly leaving you with unanswered questions. I found the same problem in this book "The Bridge".
"The Bridge" did not have a plot that drew me into the book, in fact, i only finished the book because i can never leave anything unfinished. The storyline flip-flopped between the two characters leaving the reader confused.
But as before the main problem with Mrs. Bergren's work is the abrupt ending. Althougth this book had a epilogue it dealt with a unimportant topic and still left many question unanswered.
Overall, i would not recommend this book to anyone nor would i ever read it again.

Summary: For those who need to cross a bridge in life.
Review: The Bridge is a powerful story that addresses the desire to deal with the past and to cross the bridge that will lead to the cross of Christ. The story is filled with real life, real people and real human need. Meet Jared and Eden and be amazed by the mercy of God, the power of love, and the freedom, given by redemption, from the past. You will laugh, you will cry and will end the story with a sigh of contentment and a deep sense of God's enduring love.

Summary: Intrique, Depth, and Insights to Agape Love
Review: The Bridge is an excellent book of great insights into the true nature of God's love. As God works in this story, every Fruit of the Spirit, i.e. love, joy, self-control, etc., is evident. The vivid imagery makes the characters so real that one may expect to look up and see them. As the main character, Jared, grows closer to the Lord, he also grows more uncomfortable with his former worldly pursuits. Eden's faith is tested as she risks confronting her greatest fears. This love story shows that the Christian walk is an ever growing experience.

Summary: I didn't want this story to end.
Review: The Bridge was a wonderful love story that went deeper than a simple romance. Compelling characters, and Bergren did a wonderful job of making her setting every bit as interesting and important as her characters. The intertwining of stories from two generations was masterful. Meaningful message, but subtle. I didn't want it to end.
