Book Overview:
Maxine, a psychology major from Wisconsin, has always wondered what her grandmother kept locked away in her armoire. But when she inherits it, Maxine unlocks something divine and wonderful that’s to lead her to the answer of her life’s biggest question – what is my purpose? She embarks on a journey that opens her eyes, opens her heart, and lights a fire in her soul. She’s shown things that people only dream of, as well as the things of nightmares. Inspired, Maxine sets her life on a new course, but life comes with pain, just as it does joy. Shaken by a devastating discovery, she has to learn to trust God to go where she cannot and protect who she cannot. Will she be able to stay the course, or will the discovery be too much for her to bear?
My Review:
A very fast paced book, The Armoire tells of a girl named Maxine who intherits her grandmother's armoire after she passes away. After several years of always wondering what's inside, she finally gets the chance. Inside is a feather that belongs to a guardian angel. The angel appears and shows Maxine a whirlwind of places and events. Maxine even visits Heaven. Once the experience is over, Maxine is brought back to earth. From there, her life takes on scenes that are similar to what she experienced with the angel.
The Armoire is an exciting rapid story that was interesting from beginning to end. You may want to keep in mind, as a reader, that it is a fiction book. I say this because I was a little taken aback when Maxine meets Jesus. There wasn't anything bad about it but I found it odd that she was able to speak directly to Him.
I do wish that some scenes in the book were slowed down and with a little more detail. I felt like the events were happening so quickly that I didn't get much time to get a feel for what was going on. The encounters that Maxine comes across, both supernaturally and in real life, help mold her into a purpose-driven life. The story also gives a somewhat realistic glimpse of what could happen to us in the end times. I found those portions of the book quite interesting.
Two people will each win a paperback book copy of The Armoire.
