THE FORGE by CHRIS FABRY is a beautiful story of redemption, full of life and Scripture that fits in, not only with Cynthia and Isaiah Wright’s problems, but will minister to the readers. I really enjoyed the story and the characters, and was pleased to come across the indomitable prayer warrior, Miss Clara, and the Jordan family from War Room.
Cynthia works hard at her hairdressing salon and keeps her lazy, game playing and drinking husband and their son Isaiah going. She is terrified of Isaiah becomibg like his father, and when Darren walks out on them it looks like her worst fears are coming true. She tries very hard to be both mother and father to her son…..
Joshua Moore, owner of Moore Fitness, sees something in the angry young man who comes looking for a job and becomes a father figure to Isaiah. Joshua and his friends meet twice a month at The Forge which is a place of discipleship, where the mascot is a sword, bringing to mind the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, which destroys rhe works of tge enemy…..
This is a story about choices made, overcoming fear with faith, the importance of forgiveness, dealing with rejection, unconditional love and the importance of never giving up in prayer. In fact it is about living life God’s way.
I cannot recommend this encouraging and inspirational read highly enough.
I was given an ARC copy of the book by NetGalley from Tyndale House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

This is a good book, but I think the movie will be better! For those who don't attend or watch movies, I definitely recommend this story!! If you read the book of War Room, you will certainly want to read this one, as it's a continuation of that story. An enjoyable read.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance e-copy of this book! All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
