Book Reviews of Between Sundays
Book Review: WEAK
Summary: 2 Stars
I do not generally enjoy this genre of writing but engaged the book as part of a book club. I did not like the book from the first but want to keep my thoughts balanced and rational. First of all the writing was weak. Characters were flat, people were judged either good or bad, the plot was predictable, and the reader had little opportunity to indentify with the characters. Secondly, there were many technical errors. The effort of taking on a dead woman's child, adoption, proving paternity, and acting as a foster parent are all regulated by the state. The author assumed a situation that people who have been in the foster child/adoption process could never swallow. Insight and depth of knowledge was lacking. Finally, the thick sentimentality felt like an old Shirley Temple movie. For example, winning a Superbowl ring to keep a promise to a dead child who is tuning in while sitting on the knees of Jesus just doesn't ring right with me. That brings me to my final point. The theology of the book was dangerously elementary. The author presents God as the divine puppeteer who will make everything right if you just ask and pray. The characters were so righteous that their prayers were demands on God's time and talent to make life work out according to their wishes. There seemed to be a fundamental error in dictating God's will rather than seeking it.
Summary of Between Sundays
Aaron Hill has it all---athletic good looks and the many privileges of a star quarterback. His Sundays are spent playing NFL football in front of a televised audience of millions. But Aaron's about to receive an unexpected handoff, one that will give him a whole new view of his self-centered life. Derrick Anderson is a family man who volunteers his time with foster kids while sustaining a long career as a pro football player. But now he's looking for a miracle. He must act as team mentor while still striving for the one thing that matters most this season---keeping a promise he made years ago. Megan Gunn works two jobs and spends her spare time helping at the youth center. Much of what she does, she does for the one boy for whom she is everything---a foster child whose dying mother left him in Megan's care. Now she wants to adopt him, but one obstacle stands in the way. Her foster son, Cory, is convinced that 49ers quarterback Aaron Hill is his father. Two men and the game they love. A woman with a heart for the lonely and lost, and a boy who believes the impossible. Thrown together in a season of self-discovery, they're about to learn lessons in character and grace, love and sacrifice. Because in the end life isn't defined by what takes place on the first day of the week, but how we live it between Sundays.Christian Living Books
