Sullivan Crisp

review 1: For those who may be unfamiliar with the Sullivan Crisp series, it is written by a Christian author with the help of a Christian psychologist. Each story takes us through a completely different person's journey to spiritual healing with the help of Dr. Sullivan Crisp, a fictional Christian psychologist - a character I really like, by the way. After not really getting into book two, I was pleasantly surprised by book 3 in the series. I could more readily identify with the main character, Ryan, a mom of two sons, 15 and 10, who had left her husband and taken an overseas assignment in an attempt to run from the pain caused by her sons' choice to live with their father. When her 15yo is accused of a brutal crime, she wants desperately to help, but her own inability to cont... morerol her anger prevents her from doing so. The story has many twists and turns, taking us through her journey to healing, which includes not only therapy with Dr. Crisp, but also forming a bond with a few Christian women with whom she can open up and feel accepted and loved. All in all, a very good read.
review 2: Sullivan Crisp is back! This time he is attempting to help Ryan, a woman whose anger issues have led to the recent splintering of her family. When her teenage son is charged with attempted murder and refuses to let anyone help him, Ryan realizes she can't handle life on her own anymore. With Sully's help and that of a group of women Ryan never would have chosen on her own, she begins to understand what it means to let God have His way with her life.Sully's story is coming full circle. He is finally ready to meet with the woman who was responsible for his wife's suicide. Things are not always what they seem, however, and things are destined to get much worse before they get better.This was a good story that held plenty of crime scene drama, inner personal conflict, and hope. A fitting conclusion to a great trilogy! less
