Book Review: The Blindsight of Grace by R.A. Williams

About the Book:

Blindsight—a cortically blind person’s unconscious awareness of visual stimuli that is not consciously seen.

For we walk by faith, not by sight . . .

Suffering is a refining fire for the soul. And twenty-two-year-old Grace Sinclair knows what it means to suffer. At the age of eleven, a brain injury from a tragic car accident left her unable to see. Then, her father was murdered in front of her older brother, and her mother lost her life to COVID-19. But although her world was shrouded in darkness, Grace chose to persevere and walk by faith—as any blind person must learn to do. If only her brother shared her reliance on God.

Travis Sinclair had been the cause of his sister’s blindness. He had been driving the car. He had run the stop sign. And his little sister paid with her sight. He would never forgive himself for that. And just before she died, his mother made him promise that he would take care of his little sister, no matter what.

After inheriting his parents’ home and a hundred and seventy acres in rural Tennessee, Travis spares no expense in preparing for the coming apocalypse. Post-traumatic stress has made him a doomsday prepper. With his store of provisions, his arsenal of weapons, and his underground bunker, Travis keeps spending money to prepare for the worst, despite the bank’s threat to foreclose on his property. But when he is falsely imprisoned for the murder of his neighbor, all hope seems lost.

Cody Blevins is a college criminal justice major and a part-time intern for the FBI. After a chance encounter with Grace, he becomes infatuated with her despite his better judgment. After all, this girl is blind. What kind of relationship could they have? But it doesn’t matter. He is drawn to Grace despite the challenges he would face with her. But when her brother is arrested for murder, and the local sheriff is convinced of his guilt, Cody knows that his chance meeting with Grace is no accident. God had put him there for a reason. He is about to have his first murder investigation. And for Grace, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Disclosure: I received this book free from the publisher/author. The opinions I have expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

This one took me by surprise! The story covers issues such as blindness, loss, the 2020 lock-downs, and some of the popular conspiracies of the last five years that have cropped up since. It was an interesting look about humanity’s mental condition, and how stressors and fear can completely change a persons perspective and values, something that is becoming increasingly apparent in today’s ever growing awareness that something isn’t quite right with the world, and the Bible says that in the latter days we will see signs: wars and rumors of wars, people who are lovers of self, increasing earthquakes around the world, food shortages, global finical distress. these are all things we’ve been forced to hear about, and often at times have been affected (even distantly) by some of the changes implemented or experienced since 2020.

The book takes an interesting look at how all this might play into the lives of average people, while also looking at how everyday occurrences might also impact and affect their lives. Blindness from an accident, death of a parent, money issues, family feuds and deep seated bitterness? These are all things that have be happening for years, and yet each has the potential to affect and shape our lives. The Blindsight of Grace provokes readers to really think and consider what it is that brought you to this point, and what direction do you want to go from here?

(It also mentions a point several years down the road. I personally don’t think it’s likely that life will look the way it’s portrayed in the story at that point, I can’t after reading the Bible. But I’m also aware that many disagree. Still, I felt the need to mention that, since I am obligated to be honest and warning others is a part of that. I also disagree with a few of the debates and conclusions implied or explicitly stated in the story.)
