Customer Reviews

"Tilly" by Frank Peretti is a page changer for those of us needing forgiveness.

Exceptional truth about forgiveness and a story for women and men. Life changing for me and have purchased so many and have handed these out as I order another 12.

better for mature readers

I first read this book when I was about 9 years old after hearing about it church. I loved the story then, even though looking back on it now, I don't think I completely understood it. I reread the book when I turned 20 when it was given to me as a birthday gift, and cried through the whole thing. It meant so much more to me now that I understood more, and had actually had close friends go through the painful process of of aborting their unborn children. Some people may say that it is "too pro-life" or that it puts women who have choosen abortion in a bad light. In my opinion, it does just the opposite. It shows the loving forgiveness of a God who truly cares for His people. Even though the woman in the story sinned by taking the life of her child, she is forgiven and loved and freed from the horrible guilt caused by her decision. It serves as a reminder of His true deep love and compassion for the human race

EXCELLENT pro-life fiction!!! A must read!

EXCELLENT pro-life fiction!!! A must read! This book is a bit mysterious in the beginning, but as you begin to follow you piece together the characters and the story. Have your tissue box nearby!

Healing,comforting, Life Impacting

This book should be read by anyone that is experiencing the lost of a loved one or has had an abortion. The author puts you right there with the characters as the plot unfolds. You are there and learn through the eyes of the main characters how much God loves you and wants tocare for you! The audio casette was given to me by my friends husband right after my friends death. It was the single most thing, tool, to help me through the grieving process . I would highly recommend the novel & audio book to anyone that is hurting. It should be a tool that everyone has on their shelf! Donna

Excellent. A deeply moving story

The book will change you - you won't get away with simply reading it and moving on. Peretti's skills are unusual, and I believe will probably be reckoned so for some time to come. The story is about a woman coming to terms with an incident in her life from the past - doubtlessly repeated in many peoples lives, and one might be tempted to view the book as a somewhat polarised account of such a life. But this isn't true for this novel. The story stops way short of allowing such petty evaluations, and in a remarkable series of episodes shows a glimpse of heaven itself, and the depth of God's love in such a way that the mere issue of abortion is transcended altogether in a illustration of the vastness and glory of God, and of the tremendous significance of his love directed towards men, women, and children.I should warn any potential readers that the book will almost certainly move you to tears regardless of your circumstances; the depiction of heaven is quite astonishing and will probably stay with you for some time.Not only is the issue of abortion touched on, but many aress close to the problems of pain and the death of children are addressed. The answers it gives are remarkable and satisfying...This book is not so much about abortion, as about the compassion and wisdom of God. This definitely deserves reading.

I really enjoyed this book and will definitely pass it on.

This was a really neat book. Gives a special view of abortion.There is no way that I would let my children read it until the were much older.( The recommended age group for this book is 9-12 years old.) Truly, I thought that was a misprint. This material takes a certain amount of maturity to understand. I myself am 31 years old and I cried through an awful lot of it. Overall, it was great reading from a great author. I will definitely continue to read and recommend Mr. Peretti's word.
