Rain Storm By Vanessa Miller

091217-201947I know this book is a bit old , I believe it was published in the year ‘07’ but nonetheless, it is still relevant to this time. This is one of my favorite books written by one of my top authors, Vanessa Miller. I love her series, they are very inspirational and stimulating.I want to focus on this particular series, Rain Storm. The entire story was well organized and everything was sequentially arranged, it was not confusing nor was it overwhelming but it was well organized, and each event whether dramatic or not played an important part in the novel.This is a classic!!

God loves us and If I didn't already know that this book surely has reinforced that point. God love towards us is so unconditionally and pure, His love changes lives, it transforms the hearts of man no matter how wicked it is. Ok, you are probably wondering how is this relevant to the novel. Well the core message of this book will reveal to readers the magnificent and unconditional love of Christ Jesus to us.I marvel at the way the author skillfully portrayed this message to her readers, I especially love how she based her characters on the biblical character Hosea and his prostitute wife.This novel modernized the entire book of Hosea which deals with Love and relationship.

Keith Hosea Williams is the modernized Hosea of the Bible and Cynda Stephens is the symbolic representation of Hosea’s wife, the prostitute.It is truly amazing how a person can truly love a person even if that person is not worthy of love, Keith's  character was truly being tested when God told him to wife a prostitute(Cynda Stephens).Although there were many struggles and heartbreak, Cynda learned how to love herself and in turn she was able to accept Keith's  love. Also, Keith learnt the true meaning of love, its not how beautiful a person looks or how well they complement you. Neither is it about how ‘perfect’ they are but true love is patient, kind and loving.

So, just as how God loves us with a unmerited love so we should also learn to love others in the same manner. God is Love and if we say we are followers of God then we should do as He does.This book is awesome, the message is clear and story line is captivating.I do recommend you to purchase this book or borrow it at your local library.
