Review: Good clean story, important message

Overall it is a good, clean story with an important message which I enjoyed, hence my rating.  However, the scene with the snake is ridiculous and, as far as I know, completely unrealistic.  The number of incorrect and missing words competes with the story and it would behoove the writer to get it cleaned up and corrected lest the message be lost to the reader.I have to take issue with one "doctrinal" point where the writer and I differ: "Suddenly, she understood. God couldn't offer only goodness.  Couldn't answer every prayer."  This statement indicates that an omnipotent God is incapable of responding to every prayer.  I do not agree with the writer.  The last time I checked, Scripture clearly indicated that God can answer every prayer, but that He may choose not to answer, often does not give us the answer we want, and answers in His time rather than ours.  I would have preferred to see Hope conclude  "God didn't always answer her prayers the way she would like."  For me this difference is a piece of chaff amongst the wheat, but if the reader prefers their wheat free from chaff, then this book might not be their cup of tea.
