Book Review: Waves of Mercy

Every now and then I will read a book that allows me to peek into a religion different than my own I find that it strengthens and bolsters my own faith and desire to follow God! This is one of those books. Lynn Austin paints an amazing picture with her words. I appreciate the true history that is tied in beautifully with the fictional novel! In this story the lives of two very determined women, living very different lifestyles, and growing up in different times, are woven together perfectly.

Anna, a young American women faces a crossroads in her life. Will she pursue the path she thought she always wanted to follow, filled with wealth, prestige in society, and a husband who'd be the envy of all the other young ladies? Or, will she follow the path her heart is pulling her towards, a church where she feels home and loved by God. To make things more complicated, she has is plagued by a nightmare that continues to haunt her. In this book Anna is staying at a resort away from home trying to figure out who she really is and which path she should take.

Gesje is a young girl, growing up in the Netherlands, who's family is persecuted because of their religion. Her story is about her strength in following God's plan despite the heartache of fleeing her country, loosing loved ones in their pilgrimage for religious freedom in America, and finding true love!

This book will not only capture your attention, but your heartstrings as well! I love the unpredictability throughout the story-lines, and felt very satisfied at the end of the book! Lynn Austin is a very gifted writer and I have already been recommending this book to everyone!
