Angel in My Room is a story of love, compassion, and forgiveness. Lillie Hopkins had a miraculous encounter that changed her life forever on the day she gave birth to her one and only child. The joy and excitement she had anticipated was replaced with the unbearable realization that something dreadful had occurred and things had gone horribly wrong. Excruciating sadness, agonizing sorrow, and total brokenness threatened her very desire to live, but then she had an angelic encounter which left her with indescribable peace. Discover how Lillie caught a glimpse of heaven and was touched by an angel on April 21, 1980, the day her beloved son, Derrich, was born. Angel in My Room is written by Betty Collier, a wife, mother, nurse, author, and child of the King. In her Living Inside The Testimony book series, she inspires others to discover that they too live inside testimonies meant to be shared.
In all honesty, I finished this book only because I agreed to review it. There were parts of this book that held my interest, but overall it felt like the author was trying too hard to make her point. I think her point was that no matter what you’ve done, you have a purpose in life, you can make a difference, God has placed you on this Earth for a reason. I expected more of a story, the story of Lillie’s pregnancy and loss and her experience with the “angel in her room”. But the story part was pretty short and mixed in the middle of the story was just a lot of religious explanation, often with so much “Christian-ese” that I’m not even sure a non-Christian reader would even understand what the author was trying to say. It felt like there were so many details of the story that were left out that I really don’t understand what happened. I think that the story itself (fully developed) would have gotten the point across, but all the extra explanation was just a distraction and truthfully, annoying.
I received this book free from the publisher through the Booksneeze.com book review bloggers program in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.
