the Will of Wisteria Review

God chose to use a written book (the Bible) and make it a living book by giving us Christ. Written words were how he chose to get his message out, and Christ was the living message that He sent with the Holy Spirit to teach, direct, and empower. There are many Christian books in our society today, and I want my blog to be used to find the truths of God's word in those books by people who have read them, enjoyed them, and been changed by them. The best Christian books, fiction or non- fiction, are the ones that point people to the living Word Jesus Christ and leads them to be more conformed to His image.

I finished the book, the Will of Wisteria, this week by Denise Hildreth. This book starts to work on your heart from the first chapter and continues to do so even after you have read the last line. It's about family, love, and never getting back those times missed out on. The key characters are four siblings that are challenged by their dead father to live a different kind of life for a year if they want to receive their wealthy inheritance. That year they learn about the spiritual bankruptcy in their life. The siblings are faced with a choice,which we all have to make,to either let God fix them or stay spiritually bankrupt. Do they all succeed at the challenge? Read the book to get that answer.

What Christian book have you read lately? What biblical truth did it teach you?
