Title:
When Darkness Tries to Hide.
Author:
Stacy A. Padula
This
is a book about hope. Hope in the most serious and desperate of circumstances.
Hope for healing and hope for deliverance. Hope that is only found in
Jesus Christ.
This
tale of high school students facing drug/alcohol addiction, peer pressure, the
desire for acceptance, and unexpected tragedy hits the mark. Stacy Padula
accurately portrays the battles young adults (and even older adults) go through
daily. She identifies that “in the” feeling that many try to fill with
alcohol, drugs, sex, and other things, and shows the reader the one thing that
can fill the
void—a relationship with God through Jesus.
Stacy
Padula masterfully shares the Gospel of Christ in the pages of this book
in a way that really helps the reader to understand. Through the characters of
the story, hope, joy, peace and love are evident. But Ms. Padula does not shy
away from the struggles that also are a part of the Christian life.
I
will recommend her books to teens and adults alike. Well
done, Stacy! God is going to use these books mightily.

WAKULLA BOOK REVIEW
I
want to personally thank all the men who are reviewing the books written by
JOHN 3:16 AUTHORS. I am thankful that we are able to bless them and appreciate
the encouragement given to us by their reviews.
Their
insights, comments, and encouragement mean a lot. Steve said I (Lorilyn
Roberts) could visit the prison and I hope to do that sometime in the near
future. I ultimately look forward to the day when we are all free in the Lord's
presence to worship together our Risen King!
Each WEEK (usually on Tuesday), we are posting reviews from Wakulla
Correctional inmates of John 3:16 books.
Inmates are loving the new books from John 3:16 authors. Chaplain
Steve Fox is adding the new books to the prison library in this
initiative to "change lives to ensure a safer Florida."
