I enjoyed this book much more than I had expected to. Although it was quite sad and indeed thoroughly depressing at times, it got me thinking about things I had never really dwelled on before. I've led a relatively sheltered life, without many of the horrors others face daily, and really have not...
In a second, life can irrevocably change. Jason F. Wright builds upon this well-known truism in his new novel The Seventeen Second Miracle. For Rex Conner, it was a summer of promise with a teen’s dream job as a lifeguard as the local beach. He liked his job and loved a girl--and then he avert...
I was able to listen to the audio of this book. This book is a sad story, but is worth reading. It is the story of a man who loses his wife and baby just weeks before the baby was due. He struggles to carry on and care for their daughter. He visits the crosses at the site of the accident, discov...
Loved the "letters" that Wright wrote in the book. Very creative and fun to read. He managed to take on different characters in the book and write a letter as they would write it. No small task, I assume.Good story. I really was worried that he wasn't going to leave me with a happy ending, ho...
Not a bad story. As many others have stated, it is difficult to follow all the characters even if you did read The Wednesday Letters. Once you get past that problem the story picks up momentum and is easier to read. There are typical twists and turns in the story line but all said and done it ...
Favorite lines:1. "Just because I'm not in God's house doesn't mean he's not in mine" (5).2. "The miracle starts with you" (53).3. "Most relationships end because one or the other--or both--think they're the ones doing everything perfectly. When the reality is that relationships are meant to be i...
This book actually makes the 4th book that I've read of Mr. Jason F. Wright and I haven't regret it since. This book just really gets ur attention and it keeps ur attention until the bitter end of the story, I loved it, this book here is also the latest book of his that I have read here recently ...
This is the kind of book that takes me awhile to finish because the grief the protagonist, John, experiences fairly pours from the pages & I can only handle so much. I cried. I smiled. I appreciated the words of wisdom and the snippets of spiritual understanding were encouraging. It is the kind o...
I really rate this one 3 and a half stars because it didn't grab me the way his other books have. A family looses all their material possessions. They move to a run down trailer park and an unlikely friendship occurs between an elderly lady and the daughter of the family who just moved. Cancer b...
5 STARS This is a fast read, but could have read it a lot faster if I could see through the tears. This is touching story, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. It makes you want to reach out and hug your family. Sometimes we get so busy and forget to slow down spend more time with your family. Sam and...
Where had it come from? Whose money was it? Was I to spend it? Save it? Pass it on to someone more needy? Above all else, why was I chosen? Certainly there were others, countless others, more needy than me... Her reporter's intuition insisted that a remarkable story was on the verge of the fron...
