Bo's Cafe by John Lynch, Bill Thrall and Bruce McNicol
This hip, southern California (marinas, cafes, and cruising in cars figure prominently) spiritual-psychological saga of marital discord and restoration may appeal to twenty and thirty-something readers. It's about coming clean and owning your stuff. It's about pretending you have it all together when you don't, about dealing with pride and self-protective, hurtful ways of relating, about rebuilding lost trust . . . and about the difference Jesus wants to make in the healing process. It's about finding safe people who will support you in your journey to wholeness.
A colorful, motley cast of spiritually wise "been there, done that" characters hang out at Bo's. On occasion, the dialogue seems forced to make a point (not uncommon in novels of this genre). Perhaps one of the most important themes in the book is the truth that deciding to become a follower of Jesus is just the beginning. Religion and going to church aren't substitutes for a life-changing, ongoing encounter with the One Who sees and accepts us without our masks. And our healing enables us to turn around and be instruments of the same for others. ***
