I read this moving book in one sitting, but I didn’t want it to end! Until The Bones Shine is a deeply personal journey from the wilderness, through the fire and to the water. As you read Elena’s words, you begin to identify your own story’s wilderness, fire and water experiences. Pure, courageous vulnerability–like Elena is sharing her story with only you. We all can find hope in her message, that despite the wilderness and fire, eventually we all will wander back home.

I read this in one sitting, Elena‘s heartfelt truth that she pours out so beautifully in this book is just gripping. I felt less alone as I read this hearing common struggles that we have shared in the faith. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

This story is how Elena never lost her faith even with all the trauma of her home life growing up, a marriage that failed and the difficulties of adopting her daughter. Her faith carried her threw the goid and the bad. Such an amazing woman and story.
