Adam Gibson is a young and powerful Toronto millionaire. Despite his many blessings, he is an atheist, though he has an altruistic soul. He denies there is a God—until he meets a beautiful stranger in a place that does not exist for anyone but him.
Rania Ahmed strongly believes in God, but has lost hope she will ever find her soul mate. Endowed with hypnotic beauty and cursed by a brutal past, Rania has no idea she has cast a spell on Adam, who has never received more from a woman than physical pleasure. As Adam slowly discovers the true meaning of love from Rania, he begins to face his demons and reconsider his beliefs. He learns to love, forgive and repent. But as Adam grows closer to Rania, a series of strange, unexplained events threatens to drive them apart. To keep her from being destroyed by her past, he must persuade her to trust him with her deepest secrets.
In this spiritual romance, an atheist embarks on a path of enlightenment with a tormented soul who may just have the power to change everything he has ever believed to be true.
A silent prayer is a romance/religious book about two people with different beliefs.
Enter Adam Gibson. Adam may be yound but he's already a powerful Toronto millionaire and a philanthropist. Despite all his good intentions though, he couldn't be more different than Rania. Rania is a woman with beliefs. On her way to a meeting she accidentally meets Adam who is immediately attracted to her. But as he gets to know more of Rania, Adam discovers that sometimes physical attraction isn't enough and he yearns for more. In their effort to create a future together, they must both face their past, as some mysterious events threaten to rip them apart...
This book was a first for me. Really! I do read romances (a lot!) but I've never read a spiritual romance before. Thing is that I don't believe that someone would willingly change his/her beliefs just because the're in love. For example, Adam was an atheist but as he falls for Rania he's "compelled" to acknowledge her beliefs. What I liked though, was the fact that despite their differences, they managed to overcome everything and be together.
A silent prayer was an enjoyable read with a nice flow but there were times that I felt that Rania was trying to "force" Adam to believe in the things she did. Besides that, I had no problem with the book! It was actually quite a journey filled with mystery, romance, a bit of paranormal, forgiveness and faith. The characters were unique in their own way. Rania was a strong character with deep beliefs but she was mysterious as well. Adam on the other hand, was the typical businessman. Stubborn, arrogant, charming, very proud and a bit possessive.
All in all, Adam and Renia's story is more than your typical romance book. It's the journey of a tortured man and a woman who's running from her past, trying to built a future together.
