MY REVIEW:
“Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe” is a whimsical and cozy novel that nevertheless packs a significant spiritual punch. My reservations about a novel from Max Lucado were quickly put to rest as I settled in for an enjoyable reading experience. Not only is this author’s reputation fully deserved but his versatility is impressive.
Chelsea Chambers was a natural leading character and she had a wonderful supporting cast. I had a doubt or two when I realized one of the characters was an angel but Manny the clumsy, Star Wars loving angel quickly won my heart. I had several good chuckles because of his antics.
I enjoyed walking with Chelsea on her journey to forgiveness through numerous lessons and trials. I loved her compassionate and generous spirit despite negative events and financial struggles. As far as I’m concerned, the book ended perfectly and I was happy that I had the chance to read it.
“Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe” is definitely a winner and I recommend it to everyone.
