Such a great story book! This is a great love story between a Christian girl and an indian boy, who grows up to be an Indian warrior and killer. It is also the story of a disabled girl and how her handicap limits her but also helps her. And lastly, it is a story about a girl trying to escape the hands of an obsessed madman. The stories are captivating and you never want to put the book down.
The only thing I have to warn Christians about is that although the main characters are Christian, these are essentially not much Christian. These books are nearly identical to non-Christian books, except one of the characters believes. Otherwise, Christianity isn't central to the story. The stories portray the Indian's Great Spirit god as being the same god as the Christian God. They issue of religion never comes up and both religions are treated equal. Prayer to both believers are answered.
I received this book free of charge from the publisher in exchange for this review but I did really give my honest opinion
Recommended: The Sacred Path of Tears by M.B. Tosi
The Sacred Path of Tears by M.B. Tosi is a beautiful story about a young Indian woman who has to choose between two men. The Indian boy of her youth and the white man who takes her in and protects her from white people who are killing Indians. It is a story about racism and the wars between Indians and whites. It's a story about forgiveness and revenge. This book made me cry. I loved this book and can't wait to read another by this same author.
Like many fictions, the Christian element isn't really strong. Mostly, it focuses on forgiveness and loving others despite the bad they do. This book does use "OMG" and "Damn" about 4 times. It also had 1 case of rape and men harrassing women. The rape scene is not graphic but implied. Very good book. The story flows and keeps your interest! I read it all day and night long and now it's 2:30AM!

Highly Recommended: A Shot of Faith to the Head by Mitch Stokes
I am an avid Christian book reader but I was afraid to read A Shot of Faith to the Head by Mitch Stokes, because I thought it would be too difficult. Well, I won't exaggerate, this is book is filled with logic and arguments, so it's no piece of cake. This book is about Christian arguments that defeat Athiest arguments. So deep thinking stuff. And I've never gone to Bible College. But curiosity won out and I'm so glad I picked up this book. The arguments would be easy for people good with logic but they are a challenge for this girl to wrap her head around. Still, after reviewing the points a couple of times, I feel much better equipped to explain my own faith. What a blessing! I hope more Christians pick up this book. And girls, you should know this stuff! The guys aren't the only smartie pantses that can understand arguments, Christian apologetics and theology! This book is beneficial but it's no cake walk for those that aren't naturally gifted in logic.
This book had lofty goals: Take a few of the most important intellectual weapons, tactics, and strategies from recent Christian philosophy and put them in your hands. The goal here isn’t to convince atheists to believe in God; it’s to train you to handily defend yourself. You’ll be equipped to handle arguments in ways you never thought possible.
So, I always want to know in book reviews: Did the book work? Did it do what it claimed to do? Yes! The answers can be kind of complicated but yes. I need to re-read a few places to study up but yes, this book has good logical answers that make sense.
This book is interesting and catches your attention. It makes you think. Read hard at times! But the payoff is worth it. I was up till 2 in the morning reading because I couldn't put it down!

Recommended: The New Life by Betty A. Burnett
This is a good solid book all about Christianity and salvation. Betty goes into describing the process in very layman's terms, so that any reader can understand the basics of Christianity. This book really is designed for new believers and the writing style is similar to having a conversation with someone. It's very easy to read.
The great thing about this book is that it teaches a biblical view of the gospel, including making Jesus Savior and Lord of your life. This isn't the normal easy believism gospel that is very popular today. Good solid book for new Christians.
