My Beauty in Pain Review Part II

If you read yesterdays post, you know that I have been reading my newly published novel, Beauty in Pain. For your information, there are only five parts. I talked about Part's One - Three. Tonight, I have finished and will share my thoughts on Part's Four & Five.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me. It has been humbling and wonderful to say the least. I look forward to discussing it in some type of open forum with you in detail.

Three things stood out to me in Part Four. First, sometimes we simply have to do things that we don't want. Second, people often pay too much  attention to the wrong thing. And third, the ways of the world vs. the ways of the Lord are two very different things.

Part Five shows there are good and bad ways to deal with issues, which includes the men and women we deal with in our lives. Sometime we willing walk into situations that are clearly trouble. It also show that we can always make a difference and perception is everything. Last, but not least, we...you can survive anything. So when things are rough just hold on because it will get better.Overall, life has its moments of happiness and despair, but I promise you God is good everyday.

My Beauty in Pain Review Part I

Tonight, I am reviewing my novel, Beauty in Pain. It's amazing and I am happy to be able to share it with you.

As I read Beauty in Pain, I am overwhelmed with emotion. In Part One, I found it to be fast paced and exciting.  It was also shocking, yet wonderfully realistic while being very explosive and interesting.

Part Two is filled with dramatic scenes. It also left me thinking about how various relationships survive such personal chaos...only through the grace of God. Life is a wonderful gift, but its trials can leave you empty if you don't stay guarded.

While I am on my way to reading Part Three, I know that the many people have dealt with the struggle in it. I also know that everyones issues are different. Whatever it is, has been or will be for you. You are not alone. Push through your problems. No matter what they are you can survive them.

I know that someone will Beauty in Pain and not listen to the evil voice that can reach us through out misery and appear to be beautiful. It might be thousands people or only one person, but the number one is great when talking about lives; one is enough and well worth it. I hope you will join me in reading my novel and spreading the word.

Stay blessed!
