War Propaganda
|
I was really disappointed in this sequel as I enjoyed Even Now immensely and was hopeful that I had found a new author to enjoy. I am most concerned about the claims Karen Kingsbury makes from an (albeit American) evangelical Christian viewpoint. I personally felt that the book read like war propaganda. The author makes it very clear that she thinks that God supports the Wars on Afghanistan and Iraq and therefore that all "right-thinking" Christians should also support them.
Please do not pick this book up if you do not support the Wars as I am sure you will feel as irritated as I was by page after page of tired recycled arguments why these wars are justified. Karen Kingsbury should be writing for the military, not for a Christian publisher!

As an army wife with a husband who has served in both Afghanistan and is currently in Iraq I too cried for a lot of the book but it also opened up my thinking and God's plans! Another great Karen Kingsbury book to be shared around my family!!

You won't be able to put it down.

This is a good book if you have lots of time on your hands and a large quantity of paper tissues. My husband nearly divorced me while I was reading this beacause I could not put it down and sobbed my way through most of it! I do not normally read fiction books but I loved this one. As an Irish person I appreciated the author's insights into the differing opinions of the US army's presence in the Middle East. I think I learned a lot from this book and it challenged my thinking.
