Blessing in Action

  Blessing in ActionA Place Called Blessing by John Trent with Annette Smith takes on a subject matter that rends the heart. Told from the perspective of a young five year old boy one is instantly gripped as Josh and his two brothers endure life as they move from home to home in the foster care system. It is easy to identify with Josh as he struggles to find a place to belong, a place where he is truly wanted and loved. Isn’t that what we all want? Whether you have struggled yourself with the issue of finding that place of belonging or you are a parent who wants to create that place for your children - you will thoroughly enjoy this book. As you walk with Josh as he grows you will find yourself asking hard questions about what we can do for children in this situation. As you follow Josh through adulthood you will find the answers to those questions as you see forgiveness in action, love and acceptance displayed in the lives of ordinary people who see the good and the possibilities in people. “A Place Called Blessing” takes the principles of “The Blessing” (a non-fiction book by John Trent) and displays them in story form. If you are on the fence about reading this book - I highly recommend it.  I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com <http://booksneeze®.com/> book review bloggers program.
