Standy by Me was a really good book. It was a great story and was hard to put down. It tells a story of bright young woman form a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith at a Christian music fest, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her.
When Kat discovers SouledOut Community Church, she longs to become a part of the multicultural church family. But her tendency to immediately say whatever she''s thinking steps on the toes of nearly everyone she meets-especially Avis Douglass.
Avis has a strong faith, is the principal of one of Chicago''s highest performing elementary schools, and is a founding member of SouledOut. But the country''s economic downturn has thrown both her and her husband''s jobs in question. And Avis hasn''t heard from her youngest daughter in months-an estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this?
Kat''s flamboyant zeal for living a "radical" Christian life is a stark contrast to Avis''s more reserved faith. But in God''s timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected.
I laughed, cried and passed this book on.
It was a truly great story loved it! Thank You BookSneeze.
