lavanda4 's review for:
The Divine Proverb of Streusel
by Sara Brunsvold
The Divine Proverb of Streusel by Sara Brunsvold is an inspiring gorgeous story about family, choices, heartache, heritage, the healing power of faith and physical and spiritual food.
Nikki and her family are destroyed by the choices of her dad which change their world. In her grief and anger Nikki finds herself at the farm of her Uncle Wes, her father's brother. He is a kind man of few words who lives his faith in God. His wisdom and tender care awakens something in Nikki who is also uncertain in her relationship with her serious boyfriend.
While renovating the farmhouse with her uncle. Nikki discovers old family German recipes with tender Godly instruction. Her connection to her family runs deeper than she ever knew. Not only does she learn to cook and bake but she shares her heart with others through her food. Observing her personal growth is inspiring.
It is refreshing that God is at the forefront in the daily lives of the characters...He is often relegated to the background, even in Christian Fiction. Not here. This is what Christian love in action looks like. As I learned to cook as a little girl the food connection grabbed me, too. So did most of the characters, especially Wes and Joyce. The story melted my heart into a big puddle.
Do be sure to read the author's endearing personal notes. If this book doesn't (re)ignite your passion for God and family (not to mention delicious food!), what will?
My sincere thank you to Revell and NetGalley for providing me with an early digital copy of this phenomenon novel. It feels so...personal.
