Book Critique: Booker T 5-26-15
Book Title: The Asquinn Twins: Where The Trail Forks Book Two
Author: Heather Radford.
The Asquinn and Turehue children are grown up. Ken Asquinn and his lifetime buddy, Bradan Turehue, have backslidden and turned away from God. They now drink, smoke, curse, and disrespect their parents and the Christian teachings they receive as children
But there is still the commitment to marry Ken and Sherry and Martha to Bradan.
Even seeing the changes in their loved ones lives from following God to skeptics, the two sixteen year old girls marry the two nineteen year old men. Thus starts the turmoil of being married to a backslidden Christian.
Author's Purpose:
1/To see how faithful followers of God can backslide into sin.
2/To show the tragedy of a family torn asunder by a family member that sins.
Themes:
1/ Falling from God bears consequences.
2/ Turmoil of Christian family when one member backslides.
3/ Intercessory prayer.
The message was plain and good, but the story has adults sounding like five year olds. If this is a children's book, the language is awkward.
If it is adult fiction, the Christian morals and standard teachings are awesome. The characters need to be rebuilt to display their proper age and mentality. Also, too many typos. It takes away from the story to have to piece together what the author is saying.
