"Blind Hope" - An Excellent Book

I finished reading Blind Hope: An Unwanted Dog and the Woman She Rescued last night.  It took me awhile to get through it.  I started reading it in January then got distracted with other things.  The beginning did not grab my attention.  It may just be because I had so much going on.  Once I did start reading it again, I was hooked.  I recognize myself in parts of this book.  It is so true, and heartfelt.


Blind Hope: An Unwanted Dog and the Woman She Rescued is about a woman dealing with her troubles and building her faith through the help of the dog she rescues.  She adopts this ugly, sickly, stinky dog.  She comes to realize that beauty comes from the inside.  It is an extraordinary work.  This is a true story.  there are so many excerpts that struck a cord with me.  


One excerpt, that I think that many will recognize is below.  There are several people that fall into this category, at least at some point.  See what you think.


"She had mistaken God for a church, a group of people, and a set of rules.  When they failed her, she believed that God also had failed her.  God felt too far away to satisfy her needs.  Even though she had been raised in a christian home, she had never genuinely embraced her own relationship with God.  Instead, she assumed only enough Christianity to make her look good when she needed to.  Laurie learned how to wear faith like an accessory, choosing to bring it out only to complement her exterior appearance in order to blend in with others who had a deeper faith than her own."


It may take a little bit to get involved with this book but once you do you will be hooked.  If you have ever rescued a dog, this book is for you.  If you want to learn how to grow your faith, this book is for you.  The book is appropriate for all ages.  I think everyone can get something out of this book.
