In no particular order, Angela Hunt is a novelist, a nana, teacher, mother, wife, mastiff owner, reader, musician, student, aspiring theologian, apprentice baker, and bubble gum connoisseur. The things that enter her life sooner or later find their way into her books, hence "a life in pages."

While Searching the Web I found . . .
. . . this review on a blog.
The Novelist by Angela Hunt
As an agnostic I expected to be turned off by this when I realized, early on, that it was going to take a strong Christian bent. I was pleasantly surprised at the authors' (both Ms Hunt & her protag) ability to express their faith in their Faith without driving me off. Overall, it was okay, not great, but I give it kudos for not putting off this agnostic.
Hmmm. Is that a compliment? I'm not sure.
And then I found this one:
Honestly, every time I pick up an Angela Hunt book, I am both convicted and wondering whether or not I should be reading it. She is a Christian author, but sometimes I’m not sure about the content. She’s an author you really need to read to the end or else you’ll miss the point . . . I will warn you though—[Uncharted] is not for the faint of heart. It’s an honest look at the way people think . . . It is definitely not a book I would allow my daughter to read. But I am glad I read it. I’m glad—believe it or not—I felt the conviction of the Lord on this one.
Hmmm again. She feels guilty reading me?
I'm boggled.

ReplyDeleteSeems to me that both translate to "she made me think." And that, I do believe, means you can take them both as compliments.

I can't wait to read both books. I'm expecting a package of Angela Hunt books, and when it arrives, I will be pretty much immersed in the books. Fortunately I'm going on a plane trip soon, and if I know O'Hare, I can expect some delays. No problem...I'll be lost in Angela Hunt World. :)
