review 1: Wow! An excellent read! Especially for high school/college age girls. I thoroughly enjoyed the easy natural flow of the prose. There were many typos, but that is not really relevant to the story as long as you can get past them. The story is so real, so possible, and so similar to my first college experience. The story is one of learning to grow in the Lord and learning to fully trust in Him. It is an excellent work of Christian fiction and I look forward to reading more novels by Kristen Wells. I highly recommend "The Warring Soul"!
review 2: I enjoyed reading this book. Kate is a very likeable protagonist. As a mother, I felt myself wishing that she had some caring adult in her life to come along side her a mentor. As a result, I was relieved when Amy enters
... morethe story as friend and mentor, and ultimately leads Kate to Christ. I plan to give this book to my two young adult daughters to read. I would also recommend it to young adult women starting college or beginning independence and their mothers. Young women need to be aware of the dangerous of trusting young men, and even girlfriends, in situations where drugs and alcohol are involved. Date rape and date rape drugs a very real problem and girls need to be aware of the need to be very careful. As a Christian, I felt that the book also did well with showing how our past does not matter. Christ forgives us and wants the best for us. In my church we have been learning about the importance of trials in our lives and how trials helps us to grow in our relationship to Christ.Kate is a freshman at UC Santa Barbara. She is an unwanted to child who wants to be loved and successful. She makes friends with a couple of other students and through one of them she is sucked into the college party scene. At first she manages to party on weekends and stay focused on her studies that changes when she ends up feeling betrayed by one boy and (spoiler alert) her boyfriend tries to rape her after they break up. After she is attacked, Kate finds a real friend in Amy who helps her start to put her life back together. Amy introduces Kate to people who become family to her. Most important Amy takes her to church where she learns about Christ and how her loves her. (Spoiler Alert) Kate accepts Christ but still does not really believe He loves her because she does not feel worthy of love. She still has trials to go through to get to the point where she understands that Christ is sufficient for all her needs. less
