MY MOTHER KILLED CHRIST BUT GOD LOVES ME ANYWAY-Katie Roberta Stevens

Sent in by Katie Rickert

The title of this book caught my attention because it was a bit shocking.  However, after reading the Amazon description I was intrigued.  When I read the Prologue, I was hooked.  The writing was so powerful, I had to put the book down to catch my breath.  It’s the story of a girl raised by a mentally ill mother who thought she killed Christ.  But it is an inspiring, uplifting book.

This was the first time in 20 years that I read a book so well-written that I could not put it down and go to bed.  The beginning is tough to read, but in the middle I was laughing out loud.  By the end, I didn’t want it to be over.  The only bad part about the book was that it was over.

I highly recommend this book.  The writing was breathtaking.

 

Thanks Katie, for sending in the review,I have to admit to being very intrigued to read this book, the name, the review, so if any one else has read it, I would love to know if you found it as good as Katie did. This book only seems to be available on Kindle at the moment, so those of you with Kindles, go get yourself a new book to read!
