Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

Valley Of Faith

Thomas Ariaz · 2017
57/100
👎 Skip It

Five short faith stories about characters discovering God through ordinary life circumstances — hobos, a homeless family, childhood friends — is a warm concept, and the compassionate tone comes through even in the dossier. But Christian Faith Publishing is a pay-to-publish imprint, independent reviews are essentially absent, and the short-story format may leave readers wanting more depth. Faith readers with low expectations for craft may find it comforting.
