Book Review

Dangerous Sanctuary

by Lois Richer

This book has you intrigued from the moment you start reading. You get going in it, then you get confused as to who is who, and where it is going to go. As you read further, things start to make sense, then all of a sudden, things change again. You are so turned around by the time you get to the end you are just too anxious to figure out how things are going to resolve themselves. Then it all comes together, safety, confidence, resolution. It is a roller coaster ride, with so many blind turns you just don't know which direction you are going, but it is thrilling!

You learn that trusting God is not easy, and sometimes, when you think you can't go on, that's the best time to lean on God. It also teaches us that sometimes people can be so lost in their own grief, they can't see how they might have attributed to their losses. When you let yourself get so caught up in seeking to avenge your loss, or make restitutions that aren't yours to make, and you don't stop to find hope, you can lose everything, even your ability to reason. Great book! Definitely a worthwhile read.
