I received a copy of STONES FOR BREAD by Christa Parrish
from Thomas Nelson via BookSneeze. The
opinions I have expressed are strictly my own, and receving this book did not
mean I had to make a favorable review.
With that said…
This was a heartwarming book, both inside and out, and by
that I mean that I smiled through every page and then made myself some bread in
the bread maker. I haven’t felt inclined
to do that in many a moon.
The main character, Liesl, comes from a family of bread
makers. Her entire life seems to revolve
around bread – boy, did that make me hungry!
It is a quiet existence of peace and security. In a way, it is the life everyone needs but
not everyone hopes for.
Then – and of course you knew something had to get in the
way of that – life gets more complicated for Liesl. My favorite of those things happens to be a
mysterious woman who says she’s Liesl’s half-sister.
I enjoyed how well this book explored faith in God; sometimes,
religious fiction only touches upon that topic, but this one dove right in and
left me feeling complete. I will keep my
eyes open for other books by Christa Parrish.
