The book opens with dialogue from a jail cell, where several "ladies of the night" are being held. Each woman has an opportunity before them but only one grabs it and a second chance at life. The opportunity is called "Holy hospitality" and it comes from a nondescript man of the cloth by the name of Pastor Moses Thompson whose ministry happens to be at the Sheriff's station, where he is chaplain.What is Holy hospitality you might ask..it's a CHOICE a free will choice, they could either spend the night in jail and go before the judge on their case or attend church service with Pastor Thompson. I found it amazing that Pastor T opened the doors of the church in jail, and even more astonishing is how the author slipped this very intimate moment into the story. "Will anyone come" POWERFUL! Well one woman did move towards Pastor T's call and her bail was posted, a beginning to her end.This story takes us on the journey of a woman who is ready for a change. She couldn't see what was ahead for her but she tried everything else and now it's time to get back to what was familiar; God. The journey though bumpy at times is certainly better with a little "faith"If you are looking for something different, a book that will not only change how you look at situations but also change your heart this is the one. Teems has taken the subject matter of "faith" and created a beautiful but hard truth; if you are willing to walk towards it, and embrace it God will do the rest. One of my favorite quotes about faith:Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future.It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.- Joni Erickson TadaMissy5 bookmarksReaders Paradise
