This book crossed my path by chance or as I know it by God's hand. My Mother came home and told me there is an article about a book that sounds interesting. Now, my taste and my Mother's tastes in books are very different so I didn't really take too much note but being the good daughter I am (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) I read the article. Little did I know that I would be filled with immense pride about a author I knew nothing about. So, I had to buy this book because it caught my attention and emotion.
A Plain Story is exactly that except it is "perfectly"plain yet powerful. Isaac Petersen tells his life story about growing up in Mitchells Plain, getting involved in a lifestyle different to the one he was raised in and how his life is transformed from bad choices to God's blessings.
He writes well and you can see him in his car, trying to look "gangster"while being thin from his addiction. You can see him in your mind, at the club, showing the ladies his dance moves getting their attention.
You can relate to his story because his story is your and my story. We grow up thinking our story is like everyone else, plain and ordinary but Isaac shows us that his plain story has meaning and is being shared with others to show us that God works in "plain" settings.
It is refreshing to read about someone local and unknown. It gives it a more "real" feel to it because you know Isaac is writing this because he feels he needs to share it with whoever gives him the chance.
A Plain Story might not be a best seller but it is a story to be shared. If you can, get yourself a copy and you might find yourself among the pages. Just like I did!
Give Isaac the opportunity to share his life with you while getting you to ask the question: Can God save me too?
