 | Award-winning and bestselling author James L. Rubart explores the way our memories shape us . . . and how they affect our beliefs. Allison Moore has no idea why she got out of her car on that rainy March afternoon and picked up the soaked journal laying on the side of the road. Brought it home. But she did. It was empty. Except for two lines scrawled in the front, too washed out to read. And a Jesus emblem inside the back cover. Something about the journal compels her to start writing in it, capturing thoughts about her newly acquired job that she thought would be heaven, but has turned into hell. Then one day, she finds words in the center of the journal. Words she didn’t write: Mene mene tekel upharsin. After her heart stops hammering, Allison Googles the phrase, and reads the story of Belshazzar’s Feast, where a hand from God writes on the wall, and the king is slain. Fear grips her, certain God is coming after her for what she did twelve years back. What she’s done wrong her whole life. She vows to make things right. Then she discovers more phrases appearing underneath each of her journal entries. |
Those phrases take her on an emotional roller coaster that forces her to look at everything she believes about her past in a new light, and opens her eyes to a supernatural realm of staggering consequence.

My Review
Is finding your real self worth losing it all?
It's been a really long time since I've read a James L. Rubart book. I remember just how much I was impressed by his first book, Rooms. He reminded me a bit of Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. It's been a long time but the back cover blurb for The Pages Of Her Life really intrigued me. I mean, a journal that changes the words written by the person who holds it?! Words have power and that is never more evident than in this book.
I will have to confess that this is a book that I'm going to have to think about for awhile. Oh sure, it was entertaining, but the deep down message is one that I'm still digesting. I've always had a bit of a hard time with metaphors and allegory and The Pages Of Her Life does have a bit in there.
If you are looking for a story that is not a romance, has a little adventure, and the spiritual mingles with the daylight world, James L. Rubart's new novel just may be for you. But be prepared, you WILL find yourself looking at you. Remember, though, to see yourself as God does. Not as a failure filled with fear but as the best warriors the kingdom has ever known...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Pages Of Her Life by James L. Rubart a 4 Bark rating.
