“Stepping Into Sunlight” by Sharon Hinck Published by Bethany House, October 2008 About the Book: Ever have one of those days? How about one of those years. Well Penny is having both. After witnessing a crime, Penny is having trouble coping with life.
Her husband, a Navy Chaplain, just left for sea leaving her to raise their 10 year old son. Normally not a problem, but the crime has left her having panic attacks, nightmares, and the inability to do normal every day things. The event trigger memories from her childhood which add stress to the situation. If you suffer from panic attacks or anxiety issues it is a great story of overcoming your fears. See how Penny resolves her issues thought different people and in different situations. Join her in celebration as she fights against the fear, one moment at a time. See how God uses the last person in the world Penny would ever think to turn to as her ultimate helper. Life is a struggle, but we can overcome one prayer at a time. Dona's Review: “Stepping Into Sunlight” is a book that can benefit those suffering from trauma and depression as well as those who wish to understand and empathize with those who are hurting. In our book club discussion at Promise Land Christian Books, “Stepping Into Sunlight” sparked stimulating discussions regarding the journeys life often takes us on, through its many twists and turns. At one time or another in our lives, we find ourselves in a dark place and this book reminded us that even though we might feel alone when suffering from depression or trauma, we are not alone after all. “Stepping Into Sunlight” is not just a book for recreational reading, but it is also a book with a purpose. Well done, Sharon.
