Review of Restoring Faith: a Journey Back to God After Falling Short
Restoring Faith: A Journey Back to God After Falling Short hammers a very clear message about the redemption process. It all starts with honesty and humility, and it is never fully done until God says it’s done.
The author seems to make it clear that the story she is sharing is not as much about herself as it is about her Redeemer. You don’t clearly understand her fall until you are acquainted with her perspective on failure and how it distances you from God. Yamine unveils her tale in bits and pieces as tools to convey what God’s grace and redemption undid.
This little devotional book is a quick read. It took me about an hour, and I consider myself a slow reader. Yet in those moments, I felt the pain and tragedy of this sister in Christ. I felt her joy in finding a way, not past her struggles, but through them. I felt her optimism that her struggles were not in vain, but a life classroom that might help others regain their position with God.
Yamine admits she is not a theologian, and if one takes the time to over-dissect her work, one might find areas where she proves this confession. But if you accept it for what is—a testimony about her faith journey and her tribute to the God who made it possible—then you are showing her the grace that her story illustrates.
That said, I’m not impressed with her reading list. Some of the authors she suggests aren’t as centered on God’s actual message in the Bible as they are on their appeal-to-the-masses message in their talks and books. Still, I didn’t feel that kind of straying in Yamine’s account.
I’d recommend sharing this book with anyone who feels isolated by their shortcomings and needs to hear a friend who can honestly say, “I’ve been there, done that, and God still took me back.”
