** Congratulations Wendy O for winning a copy of "The Heart Mender".
As you might know, I review books for Thomas Nelson Publishing. I really enjoy doing it. They send me books for free, in return I read and review them. I just read a great book by Andy Andrews called "The Heart Mender". If you want a chance to win a copy of this great book for yourself, keep reading!
I really enjoyed "The Heart Mender" by Andy Andrews. The origin of this book is very interesting. Andrews unearthed a tin can full of old Nazi artifacts and photos dating back to World War II. These items send him on a quest to discover the story behind them and the people associated with them. The story he uncovers is very fascinating and I loved that it was historical, as well as exciting. Not only did I learn new things about World War II that I never knew, but the story also was uplifting in that it showed the value of second chances and of forgiveness. This book is classified as a "Self-help" book and I felt that it really did have a powerful message full of lessons that we can all benefit from. It showed that forgiveness isn't for the person who has offended, but for the person who has been offended, so that they can regain control over their life. The woman in this story had lost her husband in the war as well as every other relative that she had and found herself angry with the world. It wasn't until she learned to forgive that she was able to move forward with her life. I also loved that it was historic as well and especially appreciated the distinct difference that Andrews was able to present between a Nazi, and a German citizen. This is a book that I would definitely recommend.
So if you would like to win a copy of this book (thanks to the publisher for sending me an extra copy to give away on my blog) just make a comment below and I will randomly choose a winner on Thursday. Good luck!
