Through Clouds and Sunshine

Through Clouds and Sunshine by Don J. Black is similar to the previous book I read. The difference is that this book is a collection of letters the author wrote to various people. Sometimes the letters were a solicited request, and sometimes he wrote them because he felt the need to communicate an important item to somebody.

The letters were written to specific people in specific situations. Some were to counsel and warn certain people before falling into very serious sins. Others were comfort and encouragement for people who had already fallen. No matter what, each of the letters can be applied to anyone in a similar situation. The letters don't pull any punches and tell things exactly as they are.

This book didn't grab me as a reader as much as the last one did, but that is probably because the topics of the letters didn't fit my current situation. That being said, I can still see it being useful for anyone wondering how to help a loved found in the same situations as those who were the recipients of these letters. Don Black knows how to speak the truth, but also how to do so in a loving way that let's the person know he genuinely cares.
