A Book Review. . . of Stacking Stones!

It was so fun to get this review of our book by a Writer's Digest judge. I am continually awestruck and blessed when we get to hear encouraging things like this about the words God definitely put on our hearts to share.  Thank you to all of you who helped us along the way as well!

Judge’s Commentary*:

This couple’s story is a testament to trusting in God, no matter what. Their voices of faith are challenging and inspiring to people who long to follow God in all things. While the story has takeaways for people of faith, and the authors encourage others to learn from their story, the story itself rightly takes center stage. By focusing on the ups and downs of their lives, they convey and openness and humility that is inviting rather than seeming like towering people of faith who are lecturing those living more mundane lives. While their faith is unwavering, they don’t gloss over the fact that hardships are just that: hard. The alternating voices of husband and wife mesh together well, are clearly delineated, and help readers experience the story from different angles. Their voices are friendly and warm, and the writing is polished and well paced. The narrative balances narration and writings from the time of the events as well as reflection looking back on the journey. The use of scripture is apt and adds deep encouragement, rather than providing simplistic answers. Their story will appeal most to those interested in Christian missions or Christians who are looking for God in the midst of struggle.
