Unworthy features compelling characters and a redemptive spiritual arc.
Book Blurb
One moment, one choice can change a life forever.
Two years ago, Evgeny Yurlov’s dreams shattered on the stage of the Bolshoi Theatre. Without many options, he lands a job—far different from ballet—and returns to Moscow. There, he’s reunited with old friends—friends who need his help as government scrutiny intensifies on Grace Baptist Church.
Sasha Dvornikova isn’t the woman she once was, but Dmitri Rykov’s shadow is relentless. Reminders of her past lurk everywhere, and her sins have branded her undeserving of a man like Evgeny.
As mounting danger surrounds both the church and his job, Evgeny finds past struggles reignited, struggles that reach even Sasha. Amidst so much darkness, will Truth prevail, or will Evgeny’s choices destroy him—and those he loves?
My Thoughts
With an exciting plot that keeps you on edge, Unworthy delivers on its promise to provide an engaging read with relatable characters. Though it can be read as a standalone, Unworthy is best enjoyed after reading Unknown.
I loved the chance to see Evgeny again, especially since I also got to see Sofia and Gabe. But getting a close look at Evgeny’s life after his injury ended his ballet career made me want to read this book.
But Sasha almost stole the show. Her inner conflict and attempt to understand the power of redemption made her relatable. I think a lot of readers can connect to her desire to overcome past mistakes and keep from repeating them.
Unworthy features a lot of theological truths. Hall explores what it means to be a new creature in Christ and how God’s love covers a multitude of sins. She also explores the importance of standing up for your faith in the midst of opposition, something that echoes what Kristina Hall explores in Fled for Refuge.
Overall, Unworthy is a gripping romantic suspense you don’t want to miss.
