Crisis of Faith is a beautifully written book that draws the reader into the life of Faith, a young girl who, after experiencing personal trauma and abuse, leaned into the presence of God for hope and healing. As a young adult, she shared from her own experience and lessons learned to mentor other women who have suffered personal trauma to help them grow in their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is going through or has gone through a personal crisis of faith with full assurance that the light of God’s healing grace will penetrate the darkness of our deepest heartbreak and heal our wounded souls.

What a beautiful, faith-filled story. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters who were very well-written. I loved hearing the author’s personality come out in her writing. I loved the details and the relationships that felt so real!

I recommend this to new believers who are looking for faith-based, character-driven stories. Also, I think pre-teens and young teens would enjoy reading this to learn about some of the trauma many people experience.

Beautiful cover too!

It was a good book

[Alicia Herring · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, this book! I found myself reading many chapters through tears. As soon as I heard the title, I knew I had to read it, and when I discovered the characters' names – Faith, Hope, and Grace – I was all in. Any book with those names is a must-read!

From the very first pages, I felt deeply connected to the story, especially to Faith. The journey from bitter roots to healing is so powerful, and the growth that takes place is a reminder that we all have the ability to heal and help others along the way.

Its a beautiful reminder to never lose hope and to heal from our struggles so they don’t affect those we love most. Carrie blends real-life situations and wisdom that will resonate with anyone dealing with mental health, trauma, or just life’s challenges.

If you’re looking for hope and healing, this book is for you. Highly recommend!

[Bonnie S McDonald · Rating 5 out of 5]

The reader can quickly identify with the main character in helping someone else when you aren’t exactly sure of how to do that but you know you are a bit further along and they NEED you…immediately. Appealing to a wide range of readers and grabs your attention from the beginning. It is time well spent with this one!

[Mallory Pickering · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy to read, wisdom-packed, couldn't put it down. This would be a good read for those who experienced sexual assault in childhood. I'm betting they would feel validated and well-represented by the main character in the book. I found myself tearing up at the end as young people who had been wounded in childhood came together to support a young woman who had been trafficked for sex by a family member. The sense of solidarity among the young victims was moving and hopeful.

[Jesslyn McCutcheon · Rating 5 out of 5]
