This book has quite the story line. It is a story line that I'm sure we have all gone through. Christopher falls pretty far, but he can still be saved through Christ no matter how far he has fallen. We have all fallen and have all needed to be saved by Christ whether we have done this already or not. I felt that Angela had a very strong commitment to her son, but she also trusted God to save him in His time. It is extremely hard for us to let God work things out in his time. We always feel that we need to step in and do our own work to make things right. Angela spent years praying for her son, but things just kept getting worse and worse. If I was Angela I probably would have given up hope and just quit praying, but Angela trusted God with all her heart and kept praying and finally there were results, although Christopher had to hit the very rock bottom first. We can all learn something from Angela, whether persistance or faith. Even though this book has some deep and at times, adult content, I feel that this book really impacted my way of looking at prayer and my faith in God.
