Title: Victim of Grace
Robin Jones Gunn is the much-loved author of several award winning series, including Christy Miller, Sierra Jensen, Katie Weldon, Glenbrooke, and Sisterchicks, with more than4.5 million books sold worldwide. Robin serves on the board of Media Associates International and often speaks locally and internationally. She and her husband have two grown children and live in Hawaii.
This book helps us to understand how God comforts us when we feel as if we are at the mercy of other people's decisions or victims of circumstances. Sometimes our faith seems to be tested and the "Teacher" seems silent during this test. Robin helps us to consider women in the Bible such as Hannah keeping her promise to God to give her son back to Him She kept her promise even though it hurt. We learn to understand that our circumstances do not limit God.
We also learn to wonder how our family legacy might be changed if we put all our hope in God the way Ruth did. Ruth managed to navigate her way through her relationship with Naomi even though Naomi had become bitter and declared he emptiness to others.
This book was extremely helpful for dealing with life's happenings. I especially enjoyed the discussion questions at the end of the book.
I give this book 5 stars.
