Book Review
Carol Kent has been down a hard, difficult
encouragement from someone who's been
Christ.
Carol's testimony to the power of God's
Her only son was tried and convicted and
now spends his life behind bars, no hope
of release. Carol and her husband Gene
could be in their own prison of grief and
despair.
Instead, they've allowed God to use them to
spread His message of faith in the darkest
encouragement from someone who's been
Christ.

continues to share in "A New Kind of Normal", both also excellent books.
In her new book, Carol shares from her heart the struggles and triumphs in this
journey she's been traveling. Each chapter is sub-headed as a 'surprise'...as in
'Surprised by Faith', 'Surprised by Mercy', and 'Surprised by Favor'.
Each chapters shares a bit of Carol's story as well as stories from letters,
emails and encounters she's had with others "Between a Rock and a Grace
Place". This book came to me when I was in one of those places, and it
brought light to a dark situation.
You might find it odd that I'm reviewing so many books for people who are
hurting or struggling, but sometimes the most joyous of seasons can bring the
most difficult and tender of times.
Carol is authentic and real: if she struggles, you know it. If she's rejoicing, you
know it. Nothing is hidden, and that just lends richness to her writing. I can't
recommend her enough. Any book by Carol Kent is a treasure, but these
books...the books she writes about pain and overcoming are the best.
My thanks to my friends at Zondervan for sharing this precious book with me.
I'm giving "Between a Rock and a Grace Place" the Golden Bookmark for
Authentic and Compassionate Writing, and voting it "Best Christian Living
Non-Fiction of 2010".
Let God bring you comfort, encouragement and healing through the words of
author Carol Kent. You will find her companionship invaluable, and a kindred
heart beating in every word.
Happy Reading!
