A Story of Hope. I liked the fact that the author wrote this in such a way that you could really see the trial that they went through as a husband and wife. He was honest in the fact, that while we are Christians, we don't come out of the womb knowing how to walk it. Other people might expect it, but God doesn't. That's why he brings it to our attention and through other people, as was mentioned in this book. Reading the Bible and praying. His friend, Micah was such an inspiration, not claiming perfection or being abusive with his faith. He was a great friend and mentor to Cole. Someone that we could all use in our life; he just kept encouraging and pointing back to Jesus.
One of my favorite things spoken in the book was relating marriage being similar to fire. "That each one is different and when you're up there amongst the flames and things are heating up, you'd better have faith in God if you hope to keep the fire under control."
The struggle between Cole and his wife Megan, was reflected pretty well I thought. Also how it affected their young sons, was shown too. Cole and Megan were both lost in their own ways, they just didn't know how bad it was until things began to hit the fan in their lives.
Heck, Cole didn't even realize there was a problem until Megan left. This is something that in real life I have heard more than once. That the man thought everything was fine. I guess that also says something about us as women too. We stuff a lot of things, instead of trying to work it out. I'm not saying that's always true, but often enough. Some of that comes from the culture that we grew up in, both men and women. I liked God's approach better.

There is a Sneak Peek at the book,"The Perfect Cast" at the end of this book.
There is a really sweet dedication in this book. Its dedicated to his mother who taught him that all things are possible with God. Sweet and True.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
