FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE by Kimberly Rae
Jordon
Many times when I download a book on
my Kindle that is listed as Christian Fiction, I find that it really does not
belong in that category. But this book was correctly placed, and I enjoyed
reading about Cassie and Quinn, a young missionary couple serving in South
America. The author used flashbacks much of the time, to let the reader know
what had gone on before.
Cassie had just learned she was
pregnant and planned to tell her husband that night, but during the day he and
several of the men in his teaching group were kidnapped. They were held for
more than five years before some of them were released. Quinn was one who was
allowed to go back home, to the states, where Cassie had gone to live as a
single mother when she thought she had lost her husband.
When Quinn returned, however, he had
lost his faith in God, his hope for the future, and his love for Cassie. Most
of the book told about his disillusionment with God because of his wasted
years, and Cassie’s trying to encourage him to be who he was before.
Quinn was proud that he had a
daughter and immediately connected with her. He connected with his sister, but
he could not express love to Cassie.
Quinn had to examine himself before he could come to terms with the losses
in his life. I think if you read this book you will be impressed. The author
introduced likeable characters. At times, I wished she would move a little
faster, but in the end, it was an enjoyable book.
