I don’t read a lot of fiction, Christian or otherwise, but I Just finished Like A Flood, by Elizabeth Proske, and I’m glad I did! I really enjoyed this book! Having a very full schedule, I found myself looking for downtime to be able to read more. Pleasantly, it was much more intense and emotional than I expected. Having been on several Mission trips I can attest to the reality of the conditions and some of the obstacles faced, although I have never experienced the intense action detailed here. I was worried with the number of characters that it would be difficult to keep them all straight as I read, but the author overcame this with thorough, ongoing character development. There is a great diversity of characters and each is at a different point in their spiritual life causing each to respond to each other and the crises they face accordingly. I doubt you can read this book without seeing yourself in one or more characters. The times of doubt and spiritual struggles they faced seemed real and made the characters very likable and watching them live out their faith despite the adversity was very encouraging for me. I would love to see this turned into a screenplay, that’s a movie I would watch! I highly recommend for teens and adults.
