Finding Faith

When tragedy strikes, the lives of Andrew and Angela Jensen are turned upside-down. They lose everything they know and are forced to start all over. Reeling from the drastic life changes and without the proper guidance, their faith is challenged through intense peer pressure. Andrew sees the darker side of life through vandalism, blackmail, degrading music and friends that objectify women. From cheerleading and dating, to partying and the prom, Angela struggles with her morals and values. The lure of sin is strong, but is their faith stronger? Will they overcome peer pressure and temptation? Will they ever seek purity and strengthen their relationships with God and each other?

[Sheryl · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't usually read contemporary fiction so this was a bit of a departure for me. However, I'm glad that I did. "Finding Faith" follows a brother and sister who endure the loss of their parents and the overturning of everything familiar in their world. That's the background and provides the greater drama, but the struggles they deal with for the rest of the book, while no less difficult, are very much more common: falling in with the wrong crowd, peer pressure, temptation, etc. The struggles are real and are shared by people of all ages, but especially teens. I enjoyed the read and was pleased to find a story that provided an uplifting message and hope at the end. I don't think the ideas presented or the resolutions was unrealistic and I liked that the author struck a balance between realism and keeping the story clean and readable.

I would recommend this for teens and adults. It's a good eye opener and it will make readers take a step back and examine their own lives and how well they may be keeping to moral and religious precepts. A nice, clean read, five stars!
