We, as humans, trust something or someone so much that we can't and don't even want to imagine ever losing them, and when we do lose them, we tend not to recover from the precious memories spent with them or with them. The Fall of Faith by Jeff Berney is a book about love, hidden pains, faith, and friendship. The book The Fall of Faith has 36 chapters and 313 pages, with acknowledgments on pages 312 and 313.

Jimmy lost his wife, which caused him great pain. The thought of her caused him more pain, dragging it deeper and concealing it. He shared a special bond with his dog, Maybell; he always quickly noticed Jimmy's mood, and Maybell was his favorite playmate. But will the bond he shared with Maybell last forever? Did Jimmy feel he could have treated Maybell better? Did Jimmy ever find love again? Read this book to find out more.

I like how the author used some idioms to express himself in the book. I commend his creative writing skills, which carried me through the book's pages and always made it exciting, like how the author capitalized and bolded some words in a paragraph, which continuously gave me the enthusiasm to read more when I came across it. The author, Jeff Berney, made the book so detailed that it was easy for me to picture and feel the emotions of Jimmy in the book. My favorite character in this book is Jimmy, who later finds God and is allowed ease and forgiveness despite all he has been through in his life and journey.

The only thing I didn't like about the book was how the acknowledgment was included at the end, which made it awkward because it was my first time seeing a book's acknowledgment at the end of a book and not at the beginning of the book. However, this doesn't affect my rating of the book, so I would give it five out of five stars because the book is exceptionally well-edited, and I found no errors while reading it. This book also taught me that it is better to deal with your pain than to keep it hidden because it will resurface sooner or later.

I recommend this book to adults and readers who are having difficulty easing their hidden pains; they will be inspired by Jimmy's life and know that there is a glimmer of hope; readers who enjoy fictional books; and readers who are going through grief or the pain of losing someone will find this book extremely helpful. I also recommend it to a mature audience because of its sexual content.

I cant imagine Jimmy's pain from losing a loved one. I hope he finds love and healing again. Great review!

This seems like a novel in which the psychological element is central but I need to be in the right mood to read a story that goes deep into the protagonist's pain. Regardless, thank you for your great review!

Thanks for writing this detailed review, many out there need books like this. The truth is, all good of us are broken one way or the other, how will handle whatever it is, is what differentiates us.

This is a beautiful book and the most beautiful part about this book is that the protagonist found God in the middle of his pains, God is always there to help and guide us.
Thanks for this
