Strongholds Book

What can I say except I love this book. It was like getting a well-versed and right on time message. Even though the book is fiction the subject is all too real. This was my second read and it was even better this time as I read it more for content than just enjoyment (although I truly enjoyed it). The topic Mrs Griggs chose for this book is as timely now as it was when this book was written. The scripture references were all right in line with the topic and used in the most helpful way. The characters were relatable except maybe Arletha and then again we all probably know someone like her. Someone who is always right and everybody else got something wrong with them. To holy to be any good to anybody. I also like that she touched on the inner sins ( the sins of the heart) for anyone not struggling with the hot topics she covered as central to this book. Its something anyone can relate to if we are not struggling with her main issues. I'm glad that there is a sequel( which I have also read and will now reread) so I can continue with the story of Fatima, Trinity and hopefully Arletha. My only complaint is the continuing storyline of Mercy and Lena and that family. Its seems so drawn out and complicated that you kinda forget the storyline and you have to keep trying to remember who did what to whom whenever they did it. Who is related to who and how. That was just too much for me to keep up with. Maybe if they had their own book it would have been easier but they just keep popping up in this series. I just kinda want to pass over their story and get to the rest but I'm scared i'll miss something. Anyway loved this and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good Christian read. Oh, wait, to late I work in a library and have already done so numerous times. Now on the the next....
