For me, Author Vanessa Miller is one of those, If she's written it, I'm reading it authors. But when I saw that the book had fewer pages than her other books, I wondered if this book would leave me wanting more. But then I remembered that it's God who develops the story, Vanessa is the vessel He uses to write it. Turns out that this book is more satisfying than many I've read that were much longer. Both characters and plot are believable.It is a story about the blended Marshall/Thomas family from the Praise Him Anyhow series. Normally Ms. Miller focuses on one member of the family, and describes how he or she is in a situation that has caused him or her to stop praising God. But in this story there are several problems going on at one time: illness, barrenness, and other baby related issues. Throw in wedding preparations and you could have chaos. But somehow the story never seems convoluted or rushed. As always Ms. Miller shows there is a benefit to praising God in the midst of our trials as well as at the end of each breakthrough. I recommend this very entertaining Christmas novella, and the entire Praise God Anyhow series.
