Reviewing TOUCHING THE SKY by Tracie Peterson

Reviewing TOUCHING THE SKY by Tracie Peterson. 
This is an excellent book that will have your heart 'touching the sky'.
   Throughout, it shows the beauty of real courtship, how to handle touchy situations with grace, and still stand up for what you believe.  There are scriptural principles woven throughout for us all to learn by i.e. 'I cannot remain silent...if I say nothing and people are killed, their blood will be on my hands' ... and a true statement ...'if we continue to pick at our wounds, they will never heal.' Those are just a couple of the instances woven throughout the book, to learn by, and teach our acquaintances.
   Another thought to ponder:  'The woman of the house commands the emotions of the family' ... something for each of us to teach our daughters and friends.
   I also appreciated a warning in the book about all courtship -- one of the characters in the book claims their mate changed from when they courted, and he replies 'no, I have always been this man...you just never bothered to notice...you were too busy batting your eyes and playing upon my manly nature.'  How many heartaches could have been avoided in courting today if this were heeded.
   Another point you will enjoy as much as I did was all the 'secrets of the fan' ... you'll have to read the book to find them out, but it is well worth it.........
   I highly recommend this book.  I received it free from Bethany Publishers for review and am not required to give a positive review.
