Five
on July 05, 2020
FIVE is the latest book (June 2020) from Zimbabwean-born author Janine Ellis-Fynn. It will be a treat for women readers. Especially for those who have ever questioned, abandoned or doubted the Christian beliefs of their childhood and young-adult years. As a father and husband myself, most women remain a mystery to me, especially my own wife. Bless her! God only knows her patience enduring my own quirks and mansplaining. FIVE sheds light on the darkest places in women's hearts and minds. It tells a compelling story about five women from different stages and places in life. Each has faced challenges and is still facing hard choices. They meet and friendships are born, nurtured and tested. I've said this book "will be a treat". It is. But it also shares deep insights and soul-searching moments of clarity that forced me to question my own trust in a higher power—when I was in a dark corner with my back against the wall. Get it and read it.
