The Baker's Wife - A Book Review


Title:  The Baker's Wife
Author:  Erin Healy
 
Erin Healy is a critically acclaimed, best-selling novelist and an award-winning editor for numerous best-selling authors.
 
    The "Baker's Wife" is an extremely well-written story of suspense dealing with modern problems.  It deals with family dynamics and how Christian principles might come into play.  There is much to learn from this book about how God could work.  It is entertaining as well as spell-binding.  I found it a very "easy read" and hard to put down.  Erin Healy shows us that one can write a suspenseful, entertaining story and still adhere to clean dialog and descriptions. 
    This story gives us a lesson in understanding and compassion, while showing us the risks of ignoring God's call to compassion.  The hostage situation that unfolds in the story shows how the characters gain advantage over Jack by their support of each other.  Julie shows us how compassion can be stripped away leaving a desire for inflicting pain if we are not careful. 
    There are many insightful things we can learn about ourselves from this book, and at the same time be entertained.
 
    I give this book 5 stars.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book through the booksneeze program - however, I am not required to submit a positive review.
