I am not sure why I find it easy to write reviews for good books, or even some great books, but struggle to write reviews for books that touch me to my very core, books whose characters have so much to teach me about living a life fully relying on the love of God. The Words We Lost is just such a book. Nicole Deese is no stranger to grief, and unselfishly shares from the root of her experience. Her characters aren't limited to the experience of grief; their relationships with God are also impacted by feelings of abandonment, addiction, and anxiety. Readers will be blessed to wade through and sometimes plunge into troubled waters with them, and even more so to surface on the other side with the One who calms the waters.
The Words We Lost is one of those rare finds that is finely crafted and leaves its mark on the reader for its beauty and the truths it reveals. I am very grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Bethany House Publishers without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
I have a hard time writing the books like this as well. There are just no words that can adequately express what we feel and that is why we struggle.
