Have you read this series yet? If not you are missing out! This is a wonderful inspirational series by an amazing LDS author.
I give these books 4 out of 5 stars.
In May, I read The Walk over again for the 2nd time with my husband on our way to California and our cruise. I read this book out loud to him while he drove. I loved this book the first time, but it was even better the 2nd time around for two reasons, I believe, 1st- I really enjoyed reading it out loud, it gave the book a much stronger voice than silent reading, and 2nd- I love, love, loved experiencing this book with Justin. My husband is not by any means a reader, yet after we finished this book together he has gone on to read the other 2 books out in this series and is almost done reading The Road to Grace. I don't often get to share my love for words, stories, and the escape that books bring to my life, so I have taken full advantage of sharing the journey of these books with Justin.
Just a couple of weeks ago I finished Miles to Go for the 2nd time. (I wanted the whole story to be fresh in my mind for The Road to Grace.) And, once again, I loved this book even more the 2nd time around. Alan's story is not one you will easily forget. This is not the type of book where I want to give anything away, but if you are looking for an amazingly inspirational and uplifting book join Alan on his journey of sorrow, sadness, hope, and faith as he tries to find his purpose in life after some amazingly heart-wrenching trials are thrown his way. You will cry, you will laugh, and you will find yourself a stronger person after taking a part in Alan's journey with him.
When I started reading The Road to Grace I expected it to be the final book in The Walk series, but come to find out it surely isn't and Alan's "walk" isn't over yet. The ending of this book didn't surprise me, yet it still wrenched at my heartstrings and I couldn't help but shed a few tears for Alan and all that he has gone through and seems to be yet to go through. I love Richard Paul Evans- his writing style and his stories are always inspirational and uplifting. His books are easy and quick to read and incredibly enjoyable. I would recommend this book to anyone- book lovers AND those who can't remember the last time they picked up a book, alike.
