Still The Storm
"You ask about this picture all the time, Tina!" Mom exclaimed as Tina pointed to the drawing of the Man on the cross. "I don't know why they did it to Him. His name us Jesus. Now stop asking!" Mom turned back to rinsing the clothes. "Besides, you ought not to have the book outdoors."
Somberly, but still staring at the picture, Tina retraced her steps. The Man had to be in a lot of pain! Those were huge nails. She counted again, "One, two, three, four, five. " Five places dripped blood - from His outstretched hands, from His feet, and from His side. He had died there on the cross. But why? For sin? What did that mean? And what did it have to do with her?
Raised in an Old Colony Mennonite setting in Mexico, Tina faced many adversities, storms that threatened her quest for truth. Illiteracy. Abuse. Mockery. Drunkenness. Doubt. Tragedy. Would she ever find the One who holds the answers and stills the storms?

I could hardly put this book down. This author has a way of taking a person's life and building a great story out of it. I never lost interest in Tina's search for happiness and meaning in life. I recommend this to all upper teens and adults. I will be watching for more books by this author!

This is a very emotional and thought provoking story. It follows a woman's life from when she is a young child in an abusive home to adulthood, through the storms of her life as she searches to know the Saviour Jesus Christ. Very moving! A must read.

A very good book dealing with very unknown subjects. The extreme darkness in old colony mennonites is not a very popular subject. but I was sad to see that the true gospel wasn't very well stated in the book and left me feeling blurry on that subject.

An amazing story. Not very well written but worth reading for a look at a culture that I personally was not familiar with at all.
