I had been meaning to read this book for a very long time. The movie version from the 40s was one of my favorites. My mother and I would watch it every time it was on television. I hoped it would live up to the movie--and it really did. One of those things where I wished I didn't know the story already.

I have faced a lot of rejection this year. Maybe now that the wounds have started to heal I'll write about it. But until then, I can't recommend this book enough. If you're hurting, at least use this book as a starting place. Spend time in the scriptures she lists, and definitely pray. God will work wonders on your heart through Mrs. TerKeurst, if you'll let Him. He did just that for me!

The mystery was fun though and kept me reading. Girls who have the lingering whispers of rejection still echoing in the hollows of their soul rarely feel completely held safe. So they look at gaps of the unknown and hesitate at best. Run away at worst. They crave for life to make sense. They cringe when it doesn’t.”
The Uninvited by Clive Harold purports to be nonfiction book about a series of UFO events that happen in the lives of the Coombs family, primarily on their farm in 1977. It begins fairly innocuously strange lights in the sky, malfunctions in electronics in their house. Then it begins to escalate; their cows show up multiple times in a neighboring farmers field, despite them being unable to find a single hoof print or human print around the cows that would indicate someone would have moved the cows. And it escalates to a direct encounter with extra terrestrials. This was not a great time in my life to read this book. I was trying to remember my own past rejections as I read, and trying to evaluate whether the book would have been helpful to me in those times when I was feeling rejected in the past, or when I face it again in the future...but I really didn't get much out of it. I can't tell if this is because the book really wasn't as helpful as it should have been, or if it was just that I am not currently feeling rejected which might make it hard to relate to what she was saying.

And even though I may not be feeling rejected or left out now there are times in life when we do feel like that. But this book isn’t very helpful. And the way this author uses scriptures sort of worries me. There was one part of the book that she explained something, used scripture and it didn’t match at all! Terkeurst reconciled with her husband Art TerKeurst, who she said was repeatedly unfaithful and abused substances. [25] In December 2018, TerKeurst and her husband renewed their vows near their home in Waxhaw, N.C.

This book missed the mark for me, but I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it at all.
