I know there are people who read these boards who do not like any Christian fiction, but I have to recommend this book!
I’m not entirely finished with it, but it is by far one of the best Christian novels I have ever read. It is a woman’s novel, and has been chosen as the Women of Faith’s novel of the year. (not that that means anything, but I really enjoyed last year’s selection, Reconstructing Natalie about a 27 year old single woman with breast cancer as well)
It’s an exploration of what it means to follow the example of Jesus and to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. It’s a book of healing and is written so authentically I’ve felt pierced to the heart and found tears in my eyes on many occasions while reading.
Again, it’s called Quaker Summer by Lisa Samson. I got it at Sam’s Club for about 8 dollars.
