I recieved this as a review exchange and it was good to read something different. I believe this is a unique book combining art, poetry and the Christian faith. The authors passion for all three really shine through the book and the struggle she has within herself regarding balancing her responsibilities as a mother and her passion for art that she believes God has called her to are clearly explained. I'm glad the author did try to find a healthy balance and that really made all the difference for me when reading this book. It's clear that she loves her family dearly and many of the chapters include detail of days out and other events with them.

The creative writing is really of an exceptional standard particularly in the first half of the book where I was captivated by some of the scenes documented. The poetry and art are also beautiful and this the observation of an extremely uncreative person!

I found the authors views on tithing and prosperity to be in conflict with my own. I believe giving should be in secret and not limited to 10% and that the verses in Malachi speaking of the store houses of heaven being opened don't always refer to financial blessing or prosperity. The author seems to be advancing the view that those who do not have enough financially are somehow out of God's favour. I find this view a little harsh especially as a Missionary living and working amongst the poorest of the poor, many that are rich in faith....However, I believe the authors beliefs are her genuine interpretation of the Bible and what she has found through her personal experiences so I haven't made much of this in my rating.

Overall a book well worth reading especially if you are of the creative persuasion which I am not.

Gently Awakened is highly recommended reading for any artist or literary person. I also would recommend it for the "lay" person as well. It is a very uplifting, motivational book. The author is not only talented in her writing ability, but in art, poetry, knowledge and wisdom, too.

I thought I was quite well-versed in the bible. Some thoughts and quotes she brought out put a "new light" on scriptural references I have read many times.
In addition to scripture references, Sarah uses her own personal experiences, and a few experiences of others. They all work together in creating this "work of art".

The poetry added throughout the book is beautifully written, as well as inspirational, as is the artwork.

The cover lightly touches on her art ability. The title is also a good reflection of what is inside these pages.

However, there were a few typo and at times the text was repetitive - but repetition is how we are taught. This still is a book not only to read but to keep as a valuable reference and teaching aid.
I give this book a review with a strong four stars rating.

I was generously sent this book for an honest review, of which I have given.
