A Place Called Blessing: Where Hurting Ends and Love Begins by John Trent with Annette Smith

A Place Called Blessing: Where Hurting Ends and Love Begins by John Trent with Annette Smith 

I couldn't tell at first if this book was fiction or an actual retold real story about life. It takes you on a journey with the main character of Josh. The basic plot of the story is he's a little boy with a painful past that grows up in a state children's home. He isn't sure if he has any future because he's hurt, angry and thinks he's damaged goods. It's written in first person narrative. 

I wasn't sure if I would like this book especially since it is in first person. However, it was a very enjoyable book because you feel so very connected to the main character Josh. You feel like you are on this journey too. I cried when he cried. It was very emotional. I felt like I could picture all the events as they happened. The author did a fantastic job. The end of the book also features questions that you can ponder on and discuss. It helps you to develop even more meaning and insight into the book and its teachings. 

I would highly recommend everyone to read this book. It's a great book for parents or just anyone that wants to relate to other people and realize there is a bigger picture to this thing we call life.
