The Best!!!

I was given an advanced copy to read in exchange for my honest review. This is the first book I have read by Robert Whitlow, but will absolutely not be my last. A few pages into the first chapter, I was immediately wrapped up into the life of Joe, who is in prison for a crime he pled guilty to, yet doesn't remember. However, this author turned his life into a beautiful story of Christ's love, redemption, and telling other about Jesus. I love how the author used Joe's life to reach so many others, while on the 'out side' people are trying to solve the mystery of his crime. I was shocked at the ending. I didn't expect the outcome. But this is the first author I've read who has been able to keep the suspense going, while also painting such a beautiful picture of Christ. I highly recommend this book to anyone! It's beautiful, clean, suspenseful, and will keep you on your toes!!!!
