What People Are Saying!

Even though the theme is very familiar and traditional, I felt it was still entertaining with characters such as Timmi and Sista. The author's style of writing is simple, easy and humurous. She wrote the book so that it flowed quite effortlessly. Even through the twists and turns this book takes with her style of writing, she does not lose you.

All of the characters in the book are all three dimensional and very interesting, entertaining and complex. The theme of this book to me is the goodness of God and things we look at as a disaster God sees it as an opportunity to bless us. The theme is really intertwined in the book from beginning to end and there is never a time in this book where you are guessing about the theme.

Sharon Oliver's book "Keep Your Enemies Closer" , although labeled as Christian Fiction, is wonderfully believable as it weaves you into the story of "Charlotte," a Christian woman visiting her grandmother "down south". With Sharon's Oliver's brilliant writing style, you will find yourself easily captivated by the endearing characters lives, with all of their colorful and complicated "quirks." Ms. Oliver weaves a storyline so suspenseful that you will actually catch yourself holding your breath, waiting for the turning of the next page. You will also find yourself laughing out loud at the delightful character of "Ms. Sista!"

The main character, "Charlotte" gives us all a shining example of faith in action. Charlotte handles each complication that comes her way, by seeking God first, and so her own faith shines as a beacon to her friends, as well as family.
