Lost and Found by Ginny L. Yttrup ~ Review/Giveaway

I am so happy to introduce y'all to my guest reviewer today, Judy Burgi. Many of you are familiar with Judy, and have read her comments around the blogosphere on book giveaways and author interviews. Judy is a fellow book enthusiast I met over this past year through blogging. She has graciously accepted my invitation to do some reviews, as I can't possibly read and review all the books that I would like to, and she has an opportunity to share some books than I am not able to acquire. 

Without further ado...

Welcome, Judy, to Stuff & Nonsense!

Lost and Found by Ginny L. Yttrup ~ Reviewed by Judy Burgi

Lost and Found - A Powerful Message!

Jenna Durand Bouvier – Wife of Gerard Bouvier and Daughter-in-law to Brigitte Bouvier.  Jenna has lived an unhappy life for years jumping through hoops to win her Mother-in-law’s approval.  Will she ever win that approval?

Brigitte Bouvier – Mother to Gerard and Mother-in-law to Jenna.  Owner of  Domain de la Bouvier and Enterprises.   Brigitte is a woman who is and must be in control of everyone and every situation.  Out to destroy anyone who gets in her way.  Will she destroy Jenna?

Andee Bell – Andee is involved with Jenna’s brother Jason.   She is a highly successful business woman.  Andee is hiding a past that has wounded her deeply.  She is a woman who never lets her guard down, ever!  Is she a friend or foe of Jenna’s?

Matthew MacGregor – Matthew is a Spiritual Director.  Upon meeting Jenna he feels an immediate connection with her based on their mutual love for Christ.  Can he help Jenna on her spiritual journey?

This book is about power, greed, control, emotional manipulation, and betrayal.

I found myself pondering who would allow themselves to be put through such long term emotional abuse and would they, could they walk away from such a lifestyle?

What type of person enjoys controlling another individual in this way?  Why is power and control such a rush for them?  Why is it necessary to prey upon a weaker individual?

This book took me through many emotions.  I absolutely disliked that Jenna took everything that Brigitte dished out.  Brigitte definitely was a force to answer to and how dare anyone go against her orders.    I also had a hard time with Andee’s betrayal.  What she did to get on the good side of Brigitte was something I had a hard time with.

When the Holy Spirit began working in the lives of Jenna, Andee, and Matthew it brought me to tears.

We may find ourselves in the same situation as Jenna and perhaps even Andee.  Maybe we’ve already been there.  This book will open the reader’s eyes allowing everyone to see that Christ is the answer.  It is as simple as picking up our crosses and following him, denying all others who might be holding us back from our walk with Him.

This book has such a spiritual impact.  Thank you Ginny L. Yttrup for making that happen.  Your message comes across loud and clear.

Lost and Found is the first book of this author that I have read.  It has left me thirsting for more.

I would like to thank the author for sending me a copy of Lost and Found to read and review.  The opinions expressed are mine alone.
