The Edge of Belonging by Amanda Cox

-

 #The Edge of Belonging# by  Amanda Cox  is a Women's   Christian fiction book.  Amanda is a blogger and curriculum  developer for a national  nonprofit youth leadership organization.  She has a bachelor's in  Bible and Theology and a Master's in  counseling. She has  had a decade of counseling.   This  book is the author's  debut  novel.   It is outstanding and  well written. The  characters are well developed and  the reader will   be drawn to their  weaknesses and struggles in their lives.   The struggles and weaknesses make the characters more real .  The themes are abandonment, loss, self sacrifice, unconditional  love.    Pearl is a  character I  admired.  She  cared for many people in the  story.  She extended herself  beyond  what many people do.  She  reached out to  a homeless man, took care of a baby , supported the   local minister and his wife,  volunteered for a local  nonprofit organization that  helped   hurting people. Pearl  made a huge impact on her world.  Thank you  to the author, netgalley, the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book. This book is  excellent, well written and hard to put  down.   I hope it is very successful.

 Tell Me the Stories of Jesus  is  by Albert Mohler. Al Mohler  is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He  hosts   The Briefing and "Thinking in Public".  This  book is a Christian living book.  The parables  were written  with an illustration. Jesus wanted  the audience  to think about what  He  was   saying  and then  move  to  recollect   on the deeper meaning  within the parables.  He  wanted the audience   to think  about where their heart is and to apply  the parables  to their life.  If the meaning is given in a straight forward way  it can be easy  to not think about your life because  the meaning  is given  to the audience and they do not have to pause and think  where Jesus is coming from.  The parables are creative. . This book gives great background  for each of the parables. It is very personable.  This book is well written.  It  is a great book for any Christian and for  any pastor. Thank you for netgalley , the publisher and the author f
