So, there's this series by Francine Rivers called The Mark of the Lion and, like, it's so pure and beautiful and inspiring and it helped strengthen my faith in God. She didn't make her characters perfect—not even try, and that's what makes them all so perfect and amazing! Like, physically attractive? You have a bad personality, but that's what makes your journey so special! Not physically attractive? The people you love (at least most of them) love you unconditionally! You're faith is weak? That's what your journey needs in order to strengthen it! Suffering? Trust in the LORD and you shall be in peace!
The whole story is full of redemptions that fit the story perfectly. Just about everything in the story will break your heart and bring tears to your eyes, but also help you hear the "voice in the wind" calling you closer to God and it will make you smile in your tears like the sun in the rain!
I think it's just so underappreciated and I just love it to death, okay?!
