Still LOLO - A story of Forgiveness, Reconciliation and Strength

Still LOLO



Still Lolo: A Spinning Propeller, a Horrific Accident, and a Family's Journey of Hope is the title of my latest read!  By the title one could only assume that it will be a woe is me but God is good book.  To my pleasant surprise it is very much the opposite!  The story is a compilation of a family’s journey through a life changing experience of Lauren Scruggs accident.  The book is written where the members of the family are able to give their point of view of the events that bring them to where they are today, stronger and still LOLO. In addition to focusing on the events of the accident that changed the lives of Lauren Scruggs and her family; It also tells a story of a family that was once broken but reunited by the renewing of their faith and a understanding of forgiveness and God’s everlasting grace. 




The Scruggs Family

Even though the books main focus is the accident, what I felt the most meaningful message in this book is a story of reconciliation forgiveness and answered prayers.  It mirrors a real life fairytale that has a happy ending after a series of climatic events.  I would recommend this book to anyone that feels discouraged in the face of tragedy, lost or just life.  I have learned in this life that no matter what you are going through in life there is always a great cloud of witnesses that can demonstrate the goodness of the Lord through their journey.  The Scruggs family is included in that great cloud.  What he does for one he will do for another.

My Book Review Journey

Another reason that I created this blog was to document my Book Review Journey.
One of my favorite things to do growing up was read… I know this may sound weird but I loved doing book reports, when everyone else detested them.  II guess that was because they had to at least read the book until the internet became popular and they could get a summary online.  I guess that’s why the schools don’t have book reviews as much as they did when I was in school. 
I love to read and I have many books on my shelves that need to be read so this site will help me read and share some of my precious treasures.  For more information on how I will submit reviews  go to BookReviews.  I will have reviews on Fantasy, (ex. Lord of the Ring), Christian Fiction, Memoirs, YA Fiction, Self-Help Books, Children’s Books, Cook Books, Inspirational, General Fiction and others that I find noteworthy.
Some of my books I will review will be provided through promotional venues.   Other books will be those that I read and care to share with you.
Happy Reading.
