"Possession" Book Review

Cover: Possession

"Possession"
by Rene Gutteridge
About the Book:
"In the aftermath of investigating the D.C. sniper case, police detective Vance Graegan is burned out on life and love. Hoping to save his marriage, he quits the force and moves his wife and son to the other side of the country. But when the movers decide to hold his belongings for ransom, Vance is determined to ensure that his family’s new beginning is not ruined. Soon, though, losing his possessions becomes the least of his problems as everything they are fighting for begins to unravel in the hands of Vance’s past. In an unforgettable climax, a little boy’s innocent faith brings a group of desperate people to their knees. What is at stake counts for everything, but nothing can prepare Vance for who is behind it."

My Review:
I Love, Love, Love this book!  I have never read a Rene Gutteridge book before Possession but this one has left me wanting to read more of them.  This is the kind of story the soul needs and the heart will love!  I absolutely fell in love with little Conner and his commitment to his faith, and at only 8 years old.  The situation that Lindy and Vance have to face is one that really made me think what about what I would do if all of my possessions were being held for ransom and what would I be willing to do to get them back?  Could my faith carry me through that nightmare?  This is an intense and suspenseful story of love, the test of commitment and trust and most of all faith in God and the power that comes with it!  Great story!
