BevKWIAge: Over 65Gender: female2 Stars Out Of 5Reviewing THE LIVING ROOM by Robert WhitlowJuly 31, 2013BevKWIAge: Over 65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 1Reviewing THE LIVING ROOM by Robert Whitlow
This book was different from the other Whitlow books, and at first it was quite catching when you realized what the "living room" was and how it worked. I appreciated early on in the book when the statement is made, 'is your relationship with Christ your own or handed down from your parents'... That was an apt thought provoker for all readers and worthy of answering.
Another interesting point was made with the statement, 'I'd rather be warned about a danger that can be avoided than have to pray for a miracle when disaster strikes.' I tend to like books that make one 'think' and this one did that.
Later on in the story when the activities of a teen was in question, the statement was made 'it is important for ... her to know her father cares about what she does, where she goes, and who she is with'... I thought this was an excellent point, and appreciated that fact. More parents should be involved with their children these days and not be afraid to let them know that they are, and it's because they care.
It is important to teach responsibility for actions, and if they know the parent 'cares' they might be more willing to listen to Godly advice.
All this having been said, my ultimate impression of the book was that it was too repetitive, and you could guess where it was going. The 'ending' was predictable and only led you to believe it would go on and on and on... and I would not want to read a sequel! It has a beautiful cover!
I was given this book to read for review without any restrictions on my opinion, by BookSneeze.

JeanSeattleAge: 55-65Gender: female1 Stars Out Of 5Boring!October 9, 2013JeanSeattleAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 2Value: 2Meets Expectations: 1I have to say that I love Robert Whitlow. I have enjoyed all his other books. He's at the top of my list of authors. But I couldn't get into this one. I tried and tried to work my way through it. I usually never leave a book half finished but I just couldn't make it through this one. It was too boring.
