Well, I got my free book to review from Bethany House Publishers. Only it wasn't the one that I thought was coming. This was one that I had signed up to review but I never heard back from them about it so I figured I wasn't chosen. I was surprised when I opened my package and there it was.
The book, A Good and Perfect Gift is a non-fiction book, by Amy Julia Becker, you know I don't read those very often, that I actually liked! It is about how a woman's opinion of something can be changed completely around after something that wasn't "perfect" happens to her. All her life, Amy Julia Becker has had a "perfect" life. Perfect schooling, perfect husband, and now perfect children. Or so she thought. When Amy Julia and her husband's daughter is born they are faced with challenges that neither of them ever thought that they would have to deal with. By learning to trust and lean on God completely they find a way to break free of their expectations for their little girl and learn to love her as an individual and not just as another statistic.
I did enjoy this book, even if it is a biography. I'm not too fond of those. While there were some things in the book that I don't agree with, such as her being a minister, overall the book was good and goes to show how placing your complete trust in God can help you overcome some incredible obstacles.
