A Place Called Blessing


By John Trent with Annette Smith

What a wonderful story of brokenness to blessing! As the story unfolds, Josh and his brothers are growing up in an unsupervised, neglected home. Their parents leave them alone to care for themselves. The boys’ basic needs are unmet. The brothers long for a family that will love and care for them. Then, their parents are killed in an accident. The boys are sent into foster care bouncing from house to house. Just when they seem settled, another tragedy strikes, and the boys are sent back to the children’s home. Shattered dreams haunt Josh as he grows older. Finally at eighteen years of age, Josh sets out to begin a new life for himself. He makes a friend and begins to feel a sense of belonging. Once again, tragedy strikes.

This is an amazing story that vividly displays a picture of grace. It allows the reader to see unconditional love from a precious family given to a total stranger. The story is interesting, yet easy to read. With a few twists and turns of the plot, the author reveals the meaning of grace, and the longing of every person for the “blessing” of their family. This book is Magnificent! It is a book that every parent should read!
