Book Review : "Divine Appointments" by Charlene Ann Baumbich

This story revolves around 4 central characters and their interactions over mostly the span of a few weeks. Each of them could be any person one would meet on the street. It follows them individually and together as they interact and react to situations. The mysterious way that God works in our lives is reflected in small ways that the author has placed in a seemingly benign way in this story. Follow the lives of Josie, an independent, go-forward consultant, as she finds a mysterious snow globe and how its scene encourages her to open herself; Lyle, his job loss and remorse of a missed loved life drive him to go back to an earlier time of his life where he felt what he did was something good. Marsha, who learns how friends can change you, and changes of the heart; and Barb, as she allows God to use her to encourage others, and how one sacrifice can change the world like the wind from the wings of a butterfly. For a Christian book, I enjoyed reading it and give it 4 stars.
