58) Samson, Lisa. EMBRACE ME. Thomas Nelson: 2007.

You know that Inspirational Fiction novel I almost bought last week, and then sneered at? Well, I went back to Books A Million and bought it and read it. And am happy I did.

Told in two voices, that of a sideshow "lizard woman" and a self-mutilating preacher, this novel charts lives, hearts, souls "edging precariously close to disaster . . . and improbably close to grace".

Ironic, most of the Amazon.com reviews point out that how wonderful this book is even with it's strange characters and topics, going places where "few Christian books dare to go." And I of course see first the alternative elements as the obvious interest, and then have to acknowledge the message of sincere faith nicely told.
