The Edge of the Divine, Where Possibility Meets God’s Faithfulness by Sandi Patty

While the title of the book may make you think it’s a theological treatise, this book actually centers around the author’s struggle with weight loss, her LapBand surgery and its effect on her life. It is really an account of why and how the author became overweight, her self-image, and how weight loss has affected how she feels about herself.
This book is for you if you love Sandi Patty, for it is a detailed account of her journey in the past couple of years. This book is not for you if you seek a book encouraging you to see God in your daily experiences, as the title seemed to imply.
If you love Sandi Patty, you will love this book, for it gives you a glimpse into the everyday life of this celebrated singer. She comes across as a person, not a performer.
This book was interesting both because of its author and its topic. It is the kind of book, though, that would or should not have been published if not written by someone well known.
The Edge of the Divine conveyed biblical truth well, as Sandi Patty discussed how her relationship with God helped in a very real way in her struggle with her weight
