Water's Edge by Robert Whitlow

Water’s Edge by Robert Whitlow was a good read.  The main character, Tom Crane, goes through a transforming series of events in this novel.  Tom’s father passes away and he returns to his hometown to settle the law practice his father has left behind.   As Tom experiences a series of additional losses he finds himself examining his priorities and opening his heart to the Father.   In this Job-like experience Tom finds more in the small town of Bethel then he bargained for and is transformed as an individual.  Whitlow blends an inspiring story of faith with a suspenseful story-line.  I enjoyed the book, although at times the clear doom coming Tom’s way was somewhat frustrating to me as a reader.  Some of the actions of Tom’s character seem overly trustworthy and unlikely.  Thus the 4 out of 5 stars.  However, the story is a good one and enjoyable for the reader and I recommend it.  The growth of Tom’s faith is inspiring and so well woven into the story throughout the book that I was impressed at its feeling of authenticity.  It was enjoyable to read a suspense novel and also have my faith inspired and fueled.  A good book.  Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program.
