Facing the Shadows is the follow up book to Lingering Shadows. Lizzy’s husband Daniel leaves Lizzy to wallow in his all too familiar painkiller, alcohol. Lizzy is forced to return home and finally deal with unresolved issues with her parents and the man she’d once loved. She struggles with patience and trust in God as she waits for Daniel to hit rock bottom. She needs to find a way to forgiveness with the people who wronged her and put her on a path to a collapsing marriage, and Daniel needs to face his sins and turn to the only way out of the grip of addiction.I found this a more powerful book as the author brings the reader into the very real struggles of humans to confront the truth of who we really are and learn the hard lessons of forgiveness. I found the progression and transformation believable and emotionally satisfying.I loved the resonance I felt with Lizzy as she tried to share what had been a private faith and her very real fear of not saying the right thing and messing it up. And I loved the line, “Who in their right mind would welcome suffering in their life?” when considering the verse that says when we are tested we should consider it joy. Anyone who has faced a trial and had to trust God can sympathize with Lizzy.The author has a great way with words to bring the reader into experiencing the story. “Worry over Daniel sat heavy in her stomach, leaving no room for food.” I knew instantly the desperation of the mind that goes along with that kind of heavy stomach.There’s nothing I didn’t like about the story and found it a satisfying answer to the crisis of Lingering Shadows. A good read!
Daniel had to learn the hard way that he could not help his drinking problem by himself. An alcoholic has to admit he is one and take responsibility for his drinking before he can get help. Lizzy did the right thing by leaving him as hard as it us to do you cannot keep living like it will get better on its on. Alcohol anonymous May help some people but when you turn your life over to your Savior Jesus Christ and admit young cannot do it alone that is when your is changed. You become a new creation. I lived through the same experience Lizzy did but mine lasted for a way longer period of time. It is never to late so do not give up keep praying for your loved ones to turn their life over and except the Lord because we cannot do it on our own.
Got to READ THISOh my goodness I am sooo glad I found this author. I totally love the way she writes. She is always one step ahead of you in the plot and identifies withh the people in the book. You will not be disappointed. I loved all 3 of these books and can't wait to get my hands on more.
What a great read. A good Christian romance. Reads like a true story showing even Christans struggle, but shows how faith can get you through the difficult times, the importance of believing in marriage, the power of prayer and how accepting Christ can change your life.I'm excited about reading book three and I've already ordered it!
Absolutely intriguing book. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I love the fact that Juliette Duncan's books are so refreshing without all of the graphic sex and profanity. THANK YOU!
I was given a copy by the author to proof and I got so caught up in the story line that I forgot to look for errors. This is one of the greatest books I have ever read. This is the second book in The Shadow Triology. Lizzy and Daniel must face the fact that Daniel is an alcoholic and must have help. Lizzy sees that the survival of their marriage depends on Daniel getting help. Will Daniel see his need before the baby is born? Or will Lizzy realize she still loves Matthew? Should she have married Matthew? Why did Matthew break their engagement? Both Daniel and Lizzy have shadows they must face. Will their marriage survive? I was given a copy for an honest review.
This is a wonderful sequel to the first book in the series, Lingering Shadows. The story line picks back up with the conflict between Lizzy and Daniel because of his anger and problems with alcohol. The author once again pictures so accurately the damage these issues can cause in a marriage and the battles faced. She also beautifully shows the hope that is there and the reconciliation that can come because of God's love and forgiveness. I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest review, and it is another from this author that I definitely recommend.
When Daniel crosses the line in the sand Lizzy drew, she knew it was no longer safe for her to remain with him. I truly felt for Lizzy as she did what she needed to do to keep safe. This story is about love and forgivess. How Lizzy and Daniel go forward will leave you breathless as they work out what is happening and how they will handle what the future brings. A very powerful and powerfully written novel with developed and developing characters. Highly recommend. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
