The Sky Beneath My Feet By Lisa Samson Giveaway!


Beth's husband won't be joining the family on vacation at the beach this year. He's not even joining them in the house. Instead, Rick has holed up alone in the backyard shed. Nobody knows exactly what he's up to. Maybe he's immersing himself in prayer. Maybe he's lost his mind. Maybe he's even the modern-day prophet or the saint the neighborhood artist imagines him to be. But while "St. Rick" waits for an epiphany, Beth will have to figure out what to do with herself and their teenage sons, possibly for the rest of her life.
What happens next is both uproarious and bittersweet: a peace march turns violent, her son is caught with drugs, and she embarks on an ambitious road trip that turns into something nearly surreal. Will Beth rediscover the idealistic woman she used to be, once upon a time? Can her marriage survive Rick's backyard vigil? Will anything ever be the same? And should it be?
Truthful, comic, heartbreaking, and magical in the very best sense of the word, The Sky Beneath My Feet gently tears the veil off our egos and expectations to reveal the throbbing, redemptive, and achingly beautiful life beyond and within us.

The Christy-award winning author of Christianity Today’s Novel of the Year Quaker SummerLisa Samson has been hailed by Publishers Weekly as one of the “most powerful voices in Christian fiction." She lives in Kentucky with her husband and three kids.

Lisa will knock your socks of with this fun read.
You will soon find the main character Beth to be your best friend. Her life is turned upside down and she is having to run the house by herself while her husband runs in the back yard and lives in the shed. Yes I said  lives in the shed.
This  book was so predictable, right up my ally. I don't want to read a book where I know everything that is going to happen.
I recommend this book to those who love a fun read.
I gave this book 4 stars
 
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher

  6. Lisa is a new to me author and this book sounds like it will be a great read that will fit in perfect between reading a couple heavy books. This is one I will enjoy reading.

    Thank you Mary for opening our eyes to another author that we haven't heard if and probably wouldn't without you. God bless
