Ron W. Mumford’s book, Wayne’s Angel is a fictional religious story about a boy, Wayne, who has never been loved for himself. Wayne is an exceptional singer and talented musician. He tries to comprehend the meaning of love when he meets Abby, Hank’s only daughter. She loves him like no other person has, and he has a hard time discovering his feelings for her. Through a series of events, he has a supernatural encounter that changes his life forever.
This book had many beautiful attributes. There were friendship, loyalty, bravery, selflessness, family bonds, and love. It resulted in a very engaging and compelling plot that completely immerses the reader in its storyline. There were laudable twists in the story. Example: The mysterious man with a white streak in his hair. The revelation of his identity was surprising. I applaud the author for this.
The main character is not introduced until the middle of the book. The author takes the time to build other plots up till that point. This sets the stage for the main character to fit perfectly into the story. More so, Ron W. Mumford revealed a lot about the supernatural in this book. The fight for a man’s soul was emphasized in the story. The decision of where a man spends eternity was explained in detail. The power of choice and free will were fully exposed in this book. Furthermore, the different strategies employed by Satan to gain Wayne’s soul were eye opening. There were no erotic sexual scenes in this book, though the story was all about love. I find that refreshing. Anyone reading this book would realize that love is more than feelings. The story gave a higher definition of love.
I enjoyed everything in the story. My best part was when Wayne called to Jesus for help and he was immediately rescued. He had tried all along to conquer his demons by himself. At that point, his strength had failed and he needed supernatural help. My reason is that it demonstrated the awesome love of God to his children. All we have to do is reach out to God in our time of need and He will be there to help us. God loves us unconditionally.
If there was something I didn’t like about the book, it was the few typographical errors I encountered in the course of reading the book. Example: “Dagon had stop and think before giving his answer.” My reason is that it interrupted the flow of the story. I had to read it again to fully understand what was being said.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I didn’t give it a 3 because I could not put down the book once I started reading it. The story was captivating, enchanting, fascinating, entertaining, educating, hilarious, and mind blowing. Also, it had less than 10 errors which I felt could be overlooked.
Anyone who believes in God would find this book very appealing. Christians all over the world would appreciate this story. People who have had to make it on their own without a family, would find a place in this book. On the other hand, other religions apart from Christianity may not find this book appealing. People who do not believe in Heaven or Hell may not want to read this book.
Generally, I hope everyone makes out time to read this book. It is worth every minute of your time. I look forward to the next series.
