Looking for a book you won't be able to put down? If you are looking for a real page turner, I suggest reading The Reason by William Sirls. In a small Michigan town, lightning hits the church's wooden cross and splits it in two. This event is the beginning of a riveting story about everyday people dealing with life's problems. The church's minister hears the words, 'only believe.' The Reason is about learning to 'only believe', and find God amidst their troubles. The story and characters were so deep-it will make you feel so many emotions!
This is Mr. Sirls' debut novel, which I was very surprised to learn. There are author's notes, a reading group guide, and an interview with the author in the back of the book. I think The Reason would make an excellent book club choice. I highly recommend this book!

Great review of a fabulous book. I enjoyed it--especially the characters, who are very authentic and real. I love when stories give you spiritual insights into the very things you’re struggling with. The Reason made me really think about some deep questions—why does God seem to answer some prayers but not others, what is the nature of healing, why do bad things happen to good people? Anyone wrestling with their faith, trying to “only believe,” should read this book.
