Book Review---"Through the Storm"

I just finished reading “Through the Storm---A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World” by Lynn Spears. {Feel free to click the picture to the right for even more info on the book.} Lynn is the mother of Brian, Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears. I must say it was a very interesting read and was one which opened my eyes to the ‘real’ world of the entertainment business in our country.

Let me preface my review by saying that if you are looking for a tell-all expose’ on the lives of Lynn Spears’ two youngest daughters, then you will be very disappointed. If you are looking for an amazing story of a woman who found herself constantly having her faith put to the test and keeping that faith, then I believe you will be encouraged by this book.

To say I feel for Lynn Spears would be an understatement. Not only has she had to battle the public transgressions of her two famous daughters; but, she has had quite a few personal struggles which were never captured on a photographer’s camera…her marriage, her upbringing, sickness in her family, etc. Yet, through it all, she repeatedly gives God the credit and the glory for keeping her ‘sane’ in a rather insane whirlwind of a life. I think you will have your eyes opened and your heart challenged as you read this book.
