The Story Peddler by Lindsay A. Franklin

adventurous dark mysterious reflective

5.0

I’m at a loss for words. This book had me on the edge of my seat. Fantasy is not my go to genre but this was such a well written book!
Themes: God is named as the Creator. The truth about God is being suppressed by the King.
I loved the authors note “All glory goes to God, Giver of creativity and Weaver of all things.”

This book was funny, relatable, and has a great message of what Christmas is really about, Jesus!

“What I truly wish for my daughter is for her to know that there is only one gift that brings joy that won’t fade. Only one gift can fill that need in her soul -in everyone’s soul and that’s Jesus, the gift of Christmas.”

I thank God for authors like Nancy Mehl. I like how River is growing in her relationship with God. She is a very relatable character. This book was a reminder to speak the truth in love to others. I like how this book is a thriller but it is filled with hope! This book deals with a serial killer, forgiveness, and trusting in God!

“It seemed almost impossible that she had changed her mind but she was finding out that God could do what human beings couldn’t. He could make his people more like him. Transform hearts and minds.”
