A Place Called Blessing {Review}

A Place Called Blessing by John Trent, Ph.D. with Annette Smith is a great story of blessing and forgiveness.  I really enjoyed it and could hardly put it down.  It is a sad story of how a little boy becomes angry and alone after years of being in the foster system.  Then he finds a family who continually offers him love despite his rejection of it.  The end had a great twist that I didn't see coming at all and it ended the story so beautifully.  I highly recommend this book.

Book Description

Five-year-old Josh and his two older brothers lose their parents in a drunk-driving accident. A series of foster homes and a shocking tragedy eventually separate them, leaving Josh alone, angry, and distrustful of most everyone. At age eighteen, Josh strikes out on his own to find work. With only a high school education and few life skills, he is one step away from homelessness when Providence brings him to a place where he finds much more than physical shelter. For the first time in his life, Josh receives unconditional love and something every human being craves, the gift of "the blessing."

The book includes an introduction and reader’s guide designed to identify and discuss the five elements of the biblical blessing that every person needs. Through the power of Josh's story, readers are shown how to give this gift to their children and others as outlined in the more than one million copy bestseller, The Blessing.

I received this book for free for review from BookSneeze.
