Torn

by Drew Wagar

“A fascinating exploration of a young woman caught up in fundamentalist Christianity. I found it hard to put down. “

“A great story line describing how religion, science, faith, love, moral and values challenges the main character Catriona in the way she lives her life and what choices she makes.”

"Torn" follows the thoughts of a young woman who is Christian at heart but struggles with her belief and experiences different intensities of worship in her family, amongst her friends, and in the different churches she comes across as she moves to a new town in England. In addition, she has engaging dialogues with an agnostic which tests her faith and leads her to question how much to the letter she wants to follow the Bible." After losing her job and having her ambitions cruelly dashed, Catriona Turner has no choice but to join her parents in a move to an unfamiliar country village. Joining a charismatic local church, she finds purpose and meaning in a renewed Christianity. When news of the proposed construction of a science park reaches the village, Catriona finds herself in direct confrontation with the scientist behind the proposal. She finds her new found faith threatened when discovers that her church does not have a monopoly on the moral high-ground, or the truth… Torn is a contemporary romance novel featuring a born-again Christian and a scientist, exploring the interaction between religion and science, set in Kent, the garden of England.

I've had this book downloaded for sometime and finally decided to have a read this weekend. Glad that I read. It was really interesting. It's a lovely story depicting relationships, life choices and beliefs. I found it to be thought provoking, challenging some of my beliefs and it touched my heart.
It's well researched and thoroughly written. I love it and highly recommend to anyone who likes to read a good book.

I tried. I really did. This one goes on and on and I just couldn't take any more.
