“God Wants You to Shine” is about a young girl named Faith, who works hard to live her life as a Christian. She experiences both good and bad things as she walks down the path to God.

Faith does not feel good about herself. She thinks she has too many flaws. That was until her mother convinced her to enter into a beauty pageant. At this pageant, Faith learns that it is the inner beauty that matters. She learns to love herself and to accept that she is who God wants her to be.

Throughout her life, Faith learns to grow closer to God even when negative things happen. She deals with a lot of stress as her friends are doing wrong and not trusting in the Lord. Will Faith help them? Or will she turn her back and leave them to face their own problems?

In my opinion, “God Wants You to Shine” is a well-written book. Even though Faith’s dad is a Christian singer, we can all relate to Faith and the situations she experiences. “God Wants You to Shine” is volume two of the Faith Thomas Series. The first book in this series is “God Can Work It Out.”

I think that “God Wants You to Shine” would be great for anyone age ten and over. Also, I’m really sure that if someone is not a Christian, and they read both books in the Faith Thomas series, they will become a Christian. I look forward to reading many more books by Stephanie Perry Moore.
