This book highlights the everyday decisions that shape our lives. Through the use of vivid word-pictures, the author tells of people torn between crucial choices and facing the mixture of emotions that pull at each of us at that moment of decision. He calls that point Bittersweet.
This book picks up on the theme of Testimony-Fragile Thread, Eternal Fabric, Mike’s first book for Latter-day Saint readers. He points out that spiritual heights and a personal relationship with the Lord are not reserved for an elite group. Those goals are within the grasp of anyone who will seek them.
It may appear that the road is hard to some and easy to others, but it is not given to us to know what obstacles lie in the way, or what decisions must be made by ourselves or others. We only know that each of us will face the test. These stories offer insights, a guide, an example and a word of encouragement as we, too, meet our own Bittersweet moments.
Mike Berger is a master storyteller, with rare ability to write for all ages. His stories in Bittersweet cover many themes: approaching death, the challenge of teaching, cheating, the promptings of the spirit, divorce, being lost in the wilderness, forgiveness, drugs, the temptations of the new morality, the real meaning of winning, and much, much more. Twenty-four stories are blended into a rich offering that will excite laughter, bring tears, and cause the deep introspection that changes lives.
