The Sky Beneath My Feet”, by Lisa Samson is a well
written and entertaining book!The Sky Beneath My Feet, by Lisa Samson is one of the first fiction books I’ve read in quite some time. I generally am drawn to biographies, autobiographies, or general information gathering genres, but the title of this book caught my eye. Stop and think about it for a second. The sky does not belong beneath our feet, right? The curiosity for where this book was going didn’t end with the title, either. What a fun journey the author takes you on!
The Sky Beneath My Feet centers around a middle aged wife of a pastor and mother of two teenage boys. The reader is drawn into her life and, in fact, her every thought, as she walks through her daily life of leading a strong Christ centered home. The sometimes mundane and at other times perilous and confusing obstacles that she encounters along the way are what the body of this book is about. The intrigue only grows as you read further into the details of Beth’s life (the main character) and see how the actions of one person can have a ripple effect on all those around.
The theme of this book begins to surface about midway through the chapters after a flurry of well written narration. My take away on this book’s message is that our positive behaviors work for the good of all involved and on the flip side, our poor choices could inadvertently serve to be a harmful catalyst descending toward despair. Either way, the decisions we follow in life are ours to make and will set us on a course for better or for worse.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was entertaining, thought provoking, and allowed a bit of escapism from the daily realities of life. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a good read!
