The One who knows me by Joan Embola
Hosts: Dumebi, Comfort and Temi.
This book is the first in Joan Embola's sovereign love series. A Christian romance novel that reminds us why we must hold unto God in hard seasons and not run from Him.
In it, we followed Teeyana and Jayden on a rough journey through the familiar streets of hope, loss, anguish, anger, and grace.
If anything, it reveals that having control is exhausting, and we should try giving it up to the only one who knows us.
In this episode, we discuss our thoughts on the book and share our stories as related to the themes of the book. It’s a different book from any that we have read and we look forward to sharing it with you.
Let us know your thoughts by DM on Instagram @caught_readhanded. Thank you for listening.
