Carolyn Murdaugh-Lane's Newly Released "Rescue Me" Is a Moving Story About a Misguided Young Woman Railing Against a Faithful God
"Rescue Me" from Christian Faith Publishing author Carolyn Murdaugh-Lane is a haunting novel about a young black woman in Harlem, New York, who grows away from the faith of her parents during a cultural and spiritual inflection point in American history, only to realize that the accusation of betrayal she aims at God is hers to bear.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Rescue Me": a potent story of faith and forgiveness, is the creation of published author Carolyn Murdaugh-Lane, a former New York City public school administrator now retired after thirty-one years of service.
Murdaugh-Lane describes her novel: "A coming of age story while America was coming of age. Angela, a young black woman awakens in Harlem during the turbulent late sixties and early seventies to spin an ever-changing wheel of the Black church, the sexual revolution, the traditional family, civil rights, the Vietnam War and longing for fulfillment.
"Although the product of a Christian home, she broke from the church and got caught up in carnal living. Peer pressure, changing societal norms, and the input of misinformed friends had reshaped her approach to living. The church's teachings were taken seriously, and she even believed her dad, whom she idolized, when he assured her that God would see her through good times and bad. Yet, tragedy was the catalyst that put her on the trajectory away from her faith.
"She believed that God had betrayed her. She could not trust Him. Besides, she felt she could never measure up to His standards. But, that still small voice was ever present reminding her that God's grace and providential care on her behalf had not run out. He had not gone anywhere. She had."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Carolyn Murdaugh-Lane's new book is a wise, sobering narrative that reflects on the naïve haste of many believers who blame God for their trying circumstances, in the process completely overlooking their own part in the matter as well as the Father's boundless patience with them.
As Angela yearns and fails and seeks explanations, the reader will be taken through a deeply moving spiritual journey with a happy ending that encourages them to see every tribulation in a new light.
