What do you find comforting in dark moments in your life?  For me I would say prayer, reading, pets, and family.

In Midnight Hallelujah, Ebie Hepworth invites the reader to witness her struggles with life and faith through turbulent times in her life.  How can you rediscover hope in the midst of darkness?

My thoughts on this book:

·       The book starts with a great introduction that sets up the book and the imaginary conversations she has with Sarah from the Bible while sitting in her rocking chair on her front porch. I liked how Sarah really inspired Ebie and “spoke” to her.  Her imaginary conversations with her were enlightening

·       Midnight Hallelujah is a creative book to help people to be more Christ like and to find inspiration in the Bible to move on through the darkest hours.

·       This is the memoir of a woman who is having fertility issues as well as her son suffering from a rare debilitating illness.  It goes through how her faith journey has helped her through dark times.

·       I enjoyed the Bible quotes and stories throughout the book and how they related to everyday life and times of stress.

·       This was a thoughtful memoir that worked wonderfully on audiobook.  Author Ebie Hepworth narrated the audiobook herself and did a fabulous job.  I really enjoy when authors narrate their own memoirs.

·       The memoir was very personable and felt like the author was a friend pouring out her thoughts.

·       The memoir did not shy away from describing grief and pain and finding hope from within and through her Christian faith.

·       The afterward said the author did not write it from the other side of the story, she and her family are still living it.  This really struck home to me.

·       I would classify this a nonfiction, memoir, inspirational and Christian.

Overall, Midnight Hallelujah by Ebie Hepworth is a beautifully written inspirational memoir that discusses dark times in life, but ultimately leaves the reader with hope.
