The Watered Soul

Finding Refreshment in the Word

Miracles in Dry Seasons

By

How many of us haven’t found ourselves walking through a dry season at some point in our lives? It is during those dry dusty days that we often find ourselves straining to see God’s goodness and praying for the rain of his provision in our lives.

Sarah Loudin Thomas’ Miracles in Dry Season takes us back to 1954 in Wise, West Virginia. A place I have never had the opportunity to visit but through her vivid imagery, I could easily imagine the setting of the book.

When faced with drought, readers find that it’s not only the people of Wise physical lives that are parched but their spiritual lives as well. While speaking confessions of faith, the townspeople struggle with division, prejudice, judgment

With this being the first book, I have read from Ms Sarah Loudin Thomas, I found her characters well developed and really easy to relate. The one issue I had with the book is Perla’s  special “gift from God”. The way she operated in the gift almost feel like magic  rather than operating by the spirit of God.

  1. Sounds like an interesting story! Like you, though, I wish she would have given glory to God for the good that was happening. I hope all is well with you, my friend! God bless you always!

    • All is well Cheryl. The book definitely has a faith theme but to be her gift was really clear. But it was an enjoyable read.

  2. Hey Wanda! Thanks for the review, I’ll have to look this one up on Amazon. Oh and thanks so much for the tweet and encouragement my friend!! Blessings to you lady! Have a wonderful rest of your week!

  3. Wise, West Virginia sounds like a lot of places I’ve known
    where fundamentalism damages relationships and places “being right”
    in the place of God. I love the little blip you shared – thanks for the
    suggestion!
    I appreciate your listening heart,
    Jennifer

  4. Wanda, once again, you’ve have timely brought us a “refreshing” read. Thankful for a God who leads us to still waters, and sends friends like you to remind us that the drought is never forever.
