Embraced is the beautiful new devotional from Lysa TerKeurst, the president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the New York Times bestselling author of Uninvited, The Best Yes, Unglued, and Made to Crave. Embraced features 100 devotions that will resonate with women in all stages of life by giving them a godly perspective on the issues they face each day. A real embrace indicates an intimate level of closeness. It's not a high five or a casual handshake. The best kind of embrace is when someone we know deeply loves us flings their arms wide open and pulls us in close. Our hearts were made for this kind of love and security but for many of us, we know more about the pain of heartbreak and fear than the unconditional love for which we were created. In Embraced, Lysa shares her own struggles, doubts, and heartbreaks while pointing to the Ultimate Embrace: God opening His arms wide on Calvary through Jesus so that He could pull us close for all of eternity. Welcoming us into the safety and hope of His grace and His love. And because we have been fully embraced by Him, we can spend our lives held securely by Him and trust all of His ways. Through these 100 devotions, daily scriptures, and prayer prompts, readers will be equipped to: Begin to find freedom from the struggles that have held them hostage by learning new ways to experience God's love and more authentic ways to trust Him. Surrender their deepest hurts by processing them in a godly way with Lysa, a friend who understands their pain. Hear the Lord speak intimately to their heart by learning how to seek His direction. Release the tension of wondering, If God is near why does He sometimes feel far away? by spending intentional, guided time with Him each day. With an exquisite cloth cover, highly designed interior, ribbon marker, and stained page edges, Embraced will be a treasured keepsake for you as well as a meaningful gift for those you love.… (más)

This book wasn't bad, but it seemed to lack many of the qualities I expect from Pohl. The characters didn't seem very 3dimensional, a problem very much exemplified by the antagonist. However, the book was written quite a while back. It's quite interesting to see how much Pohl changed from this from this early period. Overall I'd recommend this book to serious fans of the author, letting new readers pass it up for better works like Gateway. ( )

This book was quite a disappointing follow up to the better than expected The Reefs of Space.

The protagonist Boysie Gann is unsympathetic, and his transformation from platitude spewing Plan of Man loyalist to out to save his own skin rebel is unconvincing. The rest of the characters barely merit the description one dimensional.

Less care went into constructing the storyline than in the first book, as the plotting meanders loosely from scene to scene, with little rhyme or reason. And the technology, which seemed remotely plausible in book 1, has now more or less become "magic." I am usually not one to complain when a science fiction book from 40 years ago failed to anticipate the pace and direction of technology evolution, but a central plot element of Starchild focuses on Pohl's and/or Williamson's ideas on how computers and humans might communicate and interact with each other. And these ideas were way off the mark. So, unlike the very effective central interlude of Book 1 (in which the protagonist was sent of to a "The Prisoner" like setting, waiting for his body parts to be harvested), the central interlude of Book 2 (in which the protagonist is sent off to learn how to sing to computers, not to mention being hardwired to have his mind and "pleasure centers" link to the Planning Machine) didn't work at all for me.

As in the first book, the editing was sloppy, leaving both a couple of jarring grammatical errors and a couple of obvious typos. (I am reading these books in the 1988 second printing of the Baen paperback omnibus). Based on this book, I say stop after the first book the trilogy. I'll let you know if reading book 3 changes my mind. ( )
