I truly loved this book for several reasons. First it is extremely well written, you can feel it is definitely written from the author's heart. I felt a personal connection while reading it, at times feeling that the characters were actually reaching out to me. Troubled and confused about my faith and my church is exactly where I am at. I wish the characters from this book could descend right here to my local church and several others that seem to be losing their way. The United Methodist Church was built on mission, taking care of others and somehow I see that slipping away here.

It is a story of hope, bridging gaps, doing what it right for the many, not the few. In following the lives of the high school youth and nurturing them as was done in this story is the way to revitalize the churches. Supporting them in their entire life, gently pushing, finding opportunities, turning the bad into the good.

I have been deeply enriched by my trip to Corinthia Falls and know you would be too.
