The words, "Adult Contemporary" in the title made me nervous about the content, but 'a work In Progress' was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Staci Stallings could be my new favorite author, with the insights into people that she portrayed into her characters, the believability that she gave their circumstances and lives, and - most especially - the wonderful Christian message that she wove throughout the story. My appreciation for this author was enhanced by the fact that she did not include the Christian message in a sly or shy way, but blatantly engaged the characters in their personal search for the Savior, Jesus Christ.The "Holy Spirit moments" discussions were a marvelousl addition! Yet, lest you think it was all theology, the author also filled out the plot with a touching love story and some personal stories of characters that the reader will long remember. It is one of the few books I've recently read that I could not put down, partly for the story line, but mainly because although I'm a long-time Christian, the subjects discussed and examples of sermons, nurtured my spirit like fresh rain on a parched land. Thank you so much, Staci Stallings, for your book, "A Work In Progress.'
