Two Destinies (Book 3, Secrets of the Cross Trilogy) by Elizabeth Musser

 

     A really good read!  I have to say that it was a little slow going at first but that is mostly due to the fact that there are several different story lines going on and ground work getting established in what is to come.  However, around chapter 11 things start converging and you will find it near to impossible to put the book down.

 

    You will be held in suspense wondering how things will work out not only for Rislene and Eric but for several others in the novel.  There is so much good spiritual food to feast and think upon in this book I won't even begin to try to cover it all.  But I believe that Musser beautifully portrayed the issues dealing with the homeless and of those Christians living in Algeria and even in France at this time.  The issues of women living in a Muslim culture and of those that become Christians, with all they face are brought to light in this well written and thoughtful novel.

 

     It is not a light and fluffy read but it is a worth while read.  I come away from this novel, happy to have read it, feeling as if I have learned something and encouraged...  Encouraged to let my life and light shine!  Bravo, Musser!
