The book, “A Place Called Blessing,” is about a young man named Josh with a tough childhood behind him who “stumbles” upon a second chance to really live his life despite its difficulties. He slowly learns to rid himself of the lies that he has believed about himself and the world around him. I haven’t read the book, “The Blessing,” by the same author, so I’m not sure how closely this one relates to it. I really enjoyed “A Place Called Blessing”, and the writing really caused you to empathize with Josh, especially considering how hard of a worker and determined he is. However, as it is a Christian book, I thought it a little strange that Christ and the church and Christianity were hardly mentioned. I’m guessing if a person has read “The Blessing” the point of this story would be more obvious, though. There were a couple twists, but for the main part it was a simple, good-natured story and I would definitely recommend it to any Christian fiction lover. The fact that it was short was also appealing (as my list of books-to-read seems to be growing exponentially). It is a keeper in my library and would be a good book club read as well.
