I LOVE THIS SERIES. These books keep getting better and better and Gabrielle Meyer keeps things fresh and my brain spinning with possibilities of what is next because each book is so unique with it's own message.

I loved discussing this with several friends already and have two book clubs I'm in that will be discussing in the future. These books are so rich and have so much you can talk about!

There is a beautiful metaphor in the book about how when you live your life outside of knowing it's purpose or guidelines, you live aimlessly and without direction, questioning our own identity. I think this is a beautiful picture showing that living outside of knowing your identity in Christ will leave you feeling lost and aimless. 

Gabrielle writes relatable Christian fiction with flawed characters that really reflects what real life Christianity looks like. 

Thanks to Bethany House for the gifted title. All opinions are my own.
