A Place Called Blessing by John Trent, PhD

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.  It was a simple read that really drew me into the story line and kept me glued to the pages until the end.  I felt drawn into the story of Josh, a young man who had lost his parents early in life and spent his childhood hopping between foster homes and children centers.  A tragic accident during this period turned him into an angry child and by the time he turned 18 he just wanted a job, an apartment, and to be alone. 

Through a strange turn of events Josh finds a friend, the closest thing he has had to a "family", and love.  Following Josh on his journey and seeing the layers of anger from his past peel away through the power of God, love, and compassionate service was a great reminder of the good that is still in the world and it left me inspired to be a better person because you never know whose life you could touch.

This book was based on elements introduced in a book called 'The Blessing' and I am looking forward to reading this book as well.  I loved reading this story and would highly recommend this book to family and friends.
