Narrado por: Conner Goff, Kelley Mack

Abby Stein is young, smart, and obedient. But even obedient girls can make a mistake once in a while.

While most girls learn a lesson and move on, Abby isn't allowed to do that. When a poor choice at a party leaves Abby pregnant and alone, her overly religious parents and church community will make her life so miserable that she's forced to consider suicide as her only way out. With nowhere else to turn, Abby makes a desperate call from the parking lot of New Hope Christian Church. Pastor David Owens leads a fledgling congregation at New Hope Christian Church and answers the call. As the suspense increases, so does the little group of congregants working together in a race to save her life. Can they get through to Abby and show her God's true love before it's too late?

Twisted Faith is the second book in the Faith series.

Great narration, made me feel like I was present during the phone conversation. Really enjoyed listening to this intriguing story unfold.

Once I started, I couldn't stop!!!!

When Abby meets Jimmy and makes a bad decision, her whole life gets turned upside down. Her strict parents enforce very cruel punishments for Abby after they find out she is pregnant and forbidding her to see Jimmy again.
The events that take place have Abby's head spinning, she doesn't know what to do any more. Her parents are pushing to adopt the baby but Abby doesn't want her baby reared by her parents. She is confused, tired of the fight with her parents, missing Jimmy she thinks suicide would be the best for her and her baby. Thank goodness Pastor Owens answers the phone and takes the time to talk to Abby, to find out about Abby.

The narrators do an excellent job!!!

Worth a credit? YES IT IS.

Loved it

I highly recommend this book! It grabbed my attention from the first chapter and I had to keep listening until the end!! I received a free copy of this book from the publisher and/or author and/or narrator in exchange for an honest review.

Loved it!!

Once again I’m blown away by the performance of the narrative. I also loved the story and the way everything flowed together. The characters are easily loved. I felt truly inspired. Was a sad read but uplifting at the same time. Highly recommend this audio!

TwistedFaith book 2

I liked the pastor and the interaction with the girl. Thank you for writing it

Amazing

This book is a amazing! The narrators are well read, the author is well informed on the topic, and the story shows the life some young mothers go through! I couldn't stop listening! Can wait for another book to come out!

Wow!! Just Wow!!

I am not usually a fan of Christian books. I couldn't stop listening to this book. I wanted to hurt the parents and just hug the main character!! I really felt for her! This book will grab a hold of your heart!

Moving story with a great message!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Torn between the lead and the pastor on the phone. Both showed great courage, strength of character, and were human to the point that I could easily identify with their emotions.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Each time she suffered abuse at the hands of her misguided parents, my heart broke. I've known people in similar circumstances, and people with similarly misguided beliefs, and the amount of damage they do is heartbreaking. This really got to me.

Any additional comments?

Amazing story that I would highly recommend to all adults and older teens, parents should screen for younger teens as the content may be a bit too much "reality" for their age. ***This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.***

Vivid and stirring

I was horrified, but it was worth it! Victoria really knows how to make an emotional impact. The characters in this book are (unfortunately) believable to the point that I wanted to physically hurt some of them! You see, I was listening while nursing my 5 week old baby and so the story of a young mother without proper support clashing with some twisted views just got under my skin! I am so unbelievably lucky to have loving people in my life helping me through motherhood (even though I'm not as young as Abby).

For me, this is a story of how some people use the Bible to excuse their horrible behaviour, but also a story of help being offered to a young girl from sometimes the most unlikely places. I also loved how Victoria gave us a nice side-story about pastor David's parishioners. The very believable descriptions of the not-so-pretty practices and behaviours in this book actually remind me of crime shows like Criminal Minds. Hi-five to the narrators, who did a splendid job. Kelley gives Abby's view lots of emotional depth and Conner's voice is soothing.

You don't have to be of any particular faith to read this book, but do read it. This kind of thing might happen in your neighbourhood too, and you may be someone's lifeline.

I would like to thank the author for providing me this audiobook at no cost in exchange for my unbiased review.

Twisted Faith

Twisted Faith, Book 2
: Victoria Schwimley

This coming of age YA book explores relatioships between families, young couples, religous groups and school friends. It shows how one event can evolve into a chain of events that effect a community. The story is told from two different prespectives, and how they interact. I found myself crying and holding my breath until the very end. Awesome work by the author and narration team!

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Kelley Mack, Conner Goff.
