All Other Ground: An inability to forgive distorts the heart and wreaks havoc on the soul. (Redemptive Love) Paperback – October 5, 2018

Doris H. Dancy does a phenomenal job betraying the redemptive love of Christ. She leads you on an emotional and heartfelt journey as Summer struggles with the chance of real love. Personally, this one was extremely painful. I don't mean in a negative way but it felt so real and relative; to the point where my heart hurt and longed for redemption to engulf the character and take away the hurt, pain, shame and betrayal. It made me cry, scream, shout, and laugh out loud all at the same time.Three of my favorite elements to this story are:1. How the Word of God informs us of many things but how does that look in reality? To us as individuals? Mrs. Dancy paints a beautiful picture of redemption, bringing Biblical principles to life that is sufficient to any and all of our needs, cares or concerns.2. How the story encompasses spiritual truths as it relates to the word of God.3. How she allows God's voice to be the authority on ALL matters of life; and not hers.Mrs. Dancy's writing is extremely captivating. She prompts you to stop, reflect and examine your heart and your personal walk as a believer in Christ; and examine the reality that each of us chooses where and how we deal with life's disappointment. She strategically display the differences between the two; choosing to turn away from God gets what life offers, hurt and brokenness. Or choosing to turn to God and be made whole; accepting full and total redemption without reservations.I can't wait to see how God uses her next in her upcoming novel!
