"Thank you, God, for givin' me Grace!"I know I sound like a broken record, but I just can't help it! Whenever I see the name Kim Vogel Sawyer on a book, I know it's going to be great. And I was certainly not disappointed with Grace and the Preacher.
As always, Kim has given us characters that literally leap off the page with life. I felt the heart and soul of Grace, Theo, Uncle Philemon, and others as I walked through their stories with them. Innocent mistakes and deliberate deceit led to adventures filled with joys and pains that kept me totally engaged and eager to see how all the jumble could be unraveled and put back together. Kim crafted a beautiful tale of love and grace that was a delight to read and provided splendid nuggets for thought like the following:
"If Jesus said it, we oughtta do it."
"He has to be first. Because if He's not first, then we can't be whole."
Fans of great inspirational fiction should thoroughly enjoy this captivating historical story. Thanks to the author and her publisher for sharing a copy of Grace and the Preacher. I am delighted to share my thoughts in this review.
