At the recommendation of a friend, I purchased "Faithful" shortly after it was released. I have to say, I hold both my friend and the author partially responsible for the three crabby, sleep-deprived days last week when I was up late every night reading... This is not simply another "Christian chick lit" page-turner, but a truly encouraging, uplifting book with a positive message about God's unfailing love for us and His desire for us to draw ever closer to Him.
At first, I thought this book's title was referring to the three protagonists, women struggling to be faithful in their relationships with others and with God. But as I finished it, I realized that the book is actually about God being faithful--even when we are not. The characters in this novel make both good and bad choices, and there are some very emotional, moving moments throughout. I appreciated the author's willingness to address head-on issues like adultery, premarital sex, and "affairs of the heart" from a Biblical worldview. The characters face real-life problems, from the everyday to the extreme, and there were many moments when I found myself nodding along in agreement... and others when I was crying tears of joy or sorrow. I also liked the diversity of the characters--men and women of different races, zip codes, financial situations, and life stages. They felt authentic without seeming forced, and rang true with my own personal experience.
So to anyone out there thinking of reading this book, you might want to warn your loved ones that you'll be a little tired for a few days, but by the end of that time you may, like me, be filled with renewed love for them and a greater desire to serve the Lord by being faithful to Him above all.
