Review of "Escape From Bondage" by Mahlon F. Harris

Harry Tucker was a well to do man, until he suffered a debilitating stroke.  Not only was he robbed of normal body functions like walking and talking, but his uncaring son, Thomas, deemed him incapable of recovery and sold his home and all his possessions.  Harry eventually regained his ability to walk and talk and lead a normal life, with the help of a caring physical therapist, Kathy and his life was even better than before.  With new relationships formed and old ones reestablished, Harry found that he had much to thank God for. 

When I first began reading "Escape From Bondage", I actually found it really depressing and hard to read.  Seeing how Harry struggled after having a stroke and being in a nursing home for recovery, he really was at rock bottom in his life.  He had gave up on God as well and had no hope.  I am glad I kept reading because the story just unfolded into something very inspiring!  Harry not only gained his physical and mental abilities, but he found boldness with God's help.  Sometimes we lack the boldness in our lives, to push ahead and see what possibilities lay out there for us.  God always has good things in store for us, even if we have to endure some hardships along the way.

I would definitely recommend this book!  Its an easy read, aside from the beginning where there is a lot of struggles and hardships that takes place, but it establishes the book. 

I received this book from Bookcrash in exchange for a review.  The comments made here are all my opinions.
