Thank you for the review, I could tell that the author did a good job writing this book. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of religious books so I'll pass on this BOTD.

Thank you for the content warning about the death of a loved one. It seems this is a very emotional read but I'm glad that the author balanced it out with a sense of humor. Great review.

This isn't one I would usually be drawn to, but your review now has me wondering. Thank you!

Told in the 3rd person POV, today's BOTD is for fans of historical Christian fiction, as well as those looking for an inspiring and religious read about redemption, faith, love, and transformation. Readers will find the characters and events highly relatable, making it easy to make meaningful connections to their own life experiences. Sounds fantastic. Thanks again for the excellent review and keep up the outstanding work! :-)

A story about a defiant teenager, whose life is changed by redemption in Christ. This book seems to have a Christian focus. It seems suitable for those who share the point of view of prayer and trust in God to meet all their needs.

George and Beta, in their Waywardness, will find the right path. Loss is difficult, to face it is one way to let it go. It is an informative review. Thank you!

Thanks for the review. As a Christian, it seems like something I could enjoy. I’m also interested to see how the author creates a modern day story with this historical figure from the past.

An inspirational message filled historical fiction book "Let The Children Come" by Tom Fay, which follows a teenager, George Müller, who changes his course of life from waywardness to faith in Jesus. I am looking forward to read this one soon.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I can't possibly fathom the guilt of not being with one's mom in their final moments. I'm glad Mr. Müller found peace and kindness. And I'm glad the book includes a bit of humor because religious books are often way too serious!
Great review!

It sounds like the path George’s life takes may be relatable to people who have been down that road as well, yet inspirational to people looking for hope. Wonderful review!
