The Deliverer: Review

From Goodreads:
In book three of the "Freedom" series, the main character, Mara, finds herself the object of her uncle's revenge. From a life sentence in prison, Uncle Jefe, who held her as a sex slave in his San Diego brothel, uses his underground connections to kidnap and drag Mara back into the dark shadows of human trafficking. Now in the struggle for her life and her ultimate freedom, Mara finds herself kidnapped and experiencing something she never dreamed possible. She finally finds herself yielding to the One who can truly set her free--not only from her past life and all the fears and scars that go with it, but from herself and her own sin. This time her choice delivers her from the shadow of her name's meaning, "bitter," and into the light of true joy. 

At New Hope Digital (newhopedigital.com) you can find study questions for each book in this series and an "ideas and resources" list to help educate readers and enable them to apply what they've learned and become actively involved in this massive and ongoing human tragedy--Trafficking in Persons.

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! A great ending to the series, and wrapped things up very nicely! I really enjoyed it a lot, spending more time with Mara, Jonathan, and Leah, in this book that leads all the characters closer to each other-and to God.

So this is the book were her Uncle Jefe comes back to haunt Mara. And that's not fun at all! It brings back the past, but as a person who's usually a glass half full thinker, the good side is that this a) is what really brings Mara to God, and b) it makes her stronger!

This is the book with the least action. It's more in thoughts and small actions that make up the conflict, and boy, is there a lot of conflict! It's just a heart-warming tale, it's dealing with slavery, and beating it, and God, and it's just a great book!

I loved that ending, it wrapped things up nicely, and while some parts were a bit hard to deal with, like how Mara's family was like, this book was just really good, and ended with some pretty happy endings!

I just loved this book a lot, it was really great! I just loved this series!
