First Book Finished in 2014!

My First Book in 2014!  I quite enjoyed reading Sandi Patty's Broken on the Back Row.

This book tells about Sandi Patty's rise to stardom, and her fall when she committed/admitted to adultery.  But what it doesn't do is include lurid details, which I greatly appreciated.  She is much focused on God's grace and forgiveness, and gives insight in how the Church should react in order to be Christ-like.

My favourite part, from her Pastor: "But maybe you've been visiting with us here this morning, and you're not ready to tell anyone your name.  Maybe all you want to do is sit on the back row of the balcony and cry.  That's OK.  We want you to know that the God we serve knows how to find you there.  He hasn't forgotten about you.  We serve the God of second chances, the God of new beginnings.  We serve the God who sets His children free."

It made me squee with joy when I read it - because she was sitting, hidden, up in the back row of the balcony, crying, when he said it.  I love the confirmation that God always knows where you are and what's going on in your life, even when you're trying to hide.
