Midweek Moment-Armed and Dangerous from North Carolina Lifestyle Blogger Adventures of Frugal Mom

How many times have you heard this in your life time? There are many circumstances in which we hear these words. One in an emergency, one set is when you are playing around, one on the radio and another in relationships. In the book Need You Now by Beth Wiseman it is all about the relationships.

Here is a brief summary of the book.

When big-city life threatens the safety of one of their children, Brad and Darlene Henderson move with their three teenagers from Houston to the tiny town of Round Top, Texas.

Adjusting to small-town life is difficult for the kids, especially fifteen-year-old Grace who is coping in a dangerous way.

Married life hasn’t always been bliss, but their strong faith has carried Brad and Darlene through the difficult times. When Darlene takes a job outside the home for the first time in their marriage, the domestic tension rises.

While working with special needs children at her new job, the widowed father of one of the students starts paying more attention to Darlene than is appropriate. Problem is, she feels like someone is listening to her for the first time in a long time.

If Darlene ever needed God . . . it’s now.

Experience a family’s triumph over lies, betrayal, and loss while still clinging to the One who matters most.

I loved this book. It is about relationships. There are many types of relationships involved in this book. The relationship between a husband and wife, parent and child, siblings, friends, casual acquaintances, teacher and student, teacher and parent and one with GOD. This book opened my eyes to how sometimes when we are hurting we tend to suffer in silence and that in turn makes you hurt even more.

Darlene is this book is a mom just like me who is searching for her place in life. She is at the point that her family does not really need her help anyway and she feels taken for granted by them. When she discovers a life outside of her home she opens up to new possibilities and temptations. It is how she deals with the ensuing situations is amazing. I like that this family is not one of those perfect families that you never feel like you can measure up to. This book gave me hope that no matter what happens in life if you lean on God than you will always make it through.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for the sole purpose of this review. All opinions stated are mine.
