God Is Not Through with Me Yet: Holding On to the One Who Holds You Close
Popular Women of Faith presenter Wells speaks with delightful  winsomeness of her tender relationship with God in this uplifting, if uneven,  guide to an abundant life. Wells, who endured multiple complications following  a surgery, details her harrowing experience and what she learned about Christ's  enabling strength. The author always believed her personal relationship with  Jesus was characterized by intimacy and committed love; now, as a  great-grandmother, she feels her spiritual understanding is richer and more  precious than ever before. Wells offers snapshots of her life history,  describing being raised by her own devout great-grandmother, and how early on  she was assured of God's active participation in her poverty-stricken life.  Readers will gain deep appreciation for Wells's struggles and triumphs, and  read with interest the assorted vignettes in which Wells played counselor and  prayer warrior to other hurting Christians. However, the writing is lackluster  and disorganized; much of this text is presented with little transitioning from  one topic to the next. Further, a hefty one-third of the book is allotted to  simply listing various Bible passages by theme. While Wells has an interesting  personal testimony, her written work is disappointing compared to her public  speaking.(Feb.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
