A Diamond in the Rough

A gripping and deeply moving story, though written in a slightly disjointed manner, the flashbacks to Vietnam add to both the impact and to the difficulty of following the story line. The depth of antagonism stirred by a one-word prayer stretches credibility in a society most clearly marked by apathy, yet the logical progression of that antagonism where everything BUT a committed life based on the politically incorrect person and teaching of Jesus Christ is tolerated - is brilliantly explored. A book with significant weaknesses, this is still a work that outranks many best-sellers in both the mainstream and the Christian marketplace. Containing romance, but not driven by romance, it deserves a thoughtful reading for the clear message of wholesome morality and even more for what it says about the erosion of genuine freedom. It proves as applicable and timely north of the Canada/U.S. border as south of it and is still surprisingly relevant nine years after publication.
