A Whirlwind of God's Word

Xavier Moncrief is a nineteen year old college student with his whole life ahead of him. While traveling on the fast track of success, he looks up only to find himself derailed by the beautiful, sophisticated and older Sharifa Giovanni. From the onset Mama knew best. She tried to warn Xavier that Sharifa was not the woman for him, but it was too late. Xavier was madly in love. True to Mama's prediction, it did not take long for the beautiful Sharifa to leave Xavier for greener pastures. Devastated and unable to cope, Xavier turns to a life of drugs and crime. Seven years and a prison sentence later, Xavier is married and the pastor of a flourishing ministry. When Sharifa returns, Xavier must decide if he will choose the woman that God says he needs or the woman that he knows he wants.In Whirlwind in the Wilderness, Paul White does an awesome job of depicting the consequences of our actions when we refuse to let God have his way. This book is a powerful testimony to God's power, love and mercy. Although I found the storyline to be excellent and the characters credible, I felt the writing could have been tighter. For instance, the beginning of the story starts out with an interview but the interview is not mentioned again until the end of the book. This makes it almost impossible for the reader to remember what was taking place. In addition, there were occassional voice shifts and the book ended with a surprise that was abrupt and without much development. Although there were a few flaws in the writing, I feel as if this debut novel by Paul White was an excellent read. I recommend this book to anyone that has not learned to let God have His way in their life. This is one of the few books that I will always remember, as it serves as a reminder that God knows what is best. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future, as his knowledge of God's word shines forth. If you are looking for a book to minister to your spirit, I say get caught up in the whirlwind and prepare to leave the wilderness.T. Rhythm KnightAPOOO BookClub
