Awaken

By Denese Shelton

Book Overview

Sierra is a successful real estate agent living a comfortable life. But she has a secret so painful that she has erected emotional walls around her heart that block anyone from getting close.
Then the dreams begin. In one, Sierra is running from the sound of dogs barking and men chasing her in the darkness; in another, she's in a field, lashes coming down on her back; in many, she is a woman of faith named Dorothy, fighting for civil rights. Sierra tries to ignore the dreams and continue with life as usual--but the more she disregards them, the longer and deeper she sleeps, and soon the long nights begin to affect her work and sanity. Finally, she seeks the help she needs.
The more she works to understand the nature of and reason for her dreams, the more freedom Sierra feels in her own life. Doors to relationships with other people open. She meets a client that could be the love of her life. And soon, she has a decision to make: she can be who she has always been, living in fear; or she can be Dorothy, allow the dreams to show her who she really is, reconnect with God, and fill the void in her spirit.

Awaken in the LORD

Awaken is a very unique story - yes you read that right - unique - the story starts off with a thought provoking - heart pounding event. The good thing about it is that this is just the beginning for Sierra. What starts out looking like a curse turns out to be a Blessing in disguise. The author really knows how to weave a good yarn. this story was very well woven together. The book is like a butterfly - it starts out like it is in a cocoon and it gradually becomes a beautiful butterfly - but boy what she has to go through to become one. I love how this author writes - I can't wait to read her next book. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own. if you would like to read more of my Christian book reviews go to christianlybookreviewers.blogspot.com
