The prayer that Bonnie wrote for Billy gave me the strength and courage I needed to make it through a very difficult time in my life. I’ll admit that I cried alot while I was reading that passage so much in fact that after I finished reading the prayer I had to put the book down cause I couldn’t possibly read for a few minutes.
I think the core thing I gained from reading this series is a reminder of hope. That no matter who or what is after you, no matter how bad things may seem, at the darkest place of your life, God is there. The Candlestone was a great example of that, trapped in a prison where there seemed to be no hope, yet Bonnie demonstrated that God’s love could reach even there.
