Through Whose Eyes: Rise Child of God by Jacqueline Rainey: Book Review

Written as alternating poems and stories, "Through Whose Eyes: Rise Child of God," by author Jacqueline Rainey, is a book filled with inspiration. Even when people seem farthest from God, caught up in poverty, in addiction, or when humanity turns against them, Rainey makes it clear that God is present and ready to lend aid. A few of the stories include: “Turning Corners,” about a streetwalker running from the call of God; “Clean” about how a woman’s faith in God is tested when she is raped; and “Waiting for God” about a girl’s experiences in the foster system. Several other stories and poems tell of difficult lives and high-risk behaviors, and how God can heal any situation.
