FLEE THE NIGHT by SUSAN MAY WARREN

FLEE THE NIGHT by SUSAN MAY WARREN has it all - from international espionage to a love story that will bring tears to your eyes as it mirrors God's incredible love for His children.
Jim Micah is God's man. The scripture verse he is hoping to live by is found in the book of Micah, chapter six verse eight, and his faith is important to him. When the girl he has loved since high school marries his best friend, and then is accused of his murder, he is determined to bring her to justice.
Lacey has always loved Micah, but she chose a life of adventure and espionage with John Galloway, who swept her away from Micah as well as from the God she used to serve.
We see the difference between someone like John who wanted to change the world, living dangerously and selfishly, and Jim Micah who has a heart of compassion for those who are lost, physically as well as spiritually, and who has a relationship with Jesus Christ. Micah knows God's grace and mercy, and knows he is forgiven. Lacey feels that God cannot possibly love her or forgive her because she has made so many wrong choices. She is angry with Micah for not declaring his love to her when they were young. She keeps escaping from him because she doesn't want any harm to come to him, and he goes from not trusting her to being ashamed of himself for doubting her.
It is a story about coming home, both to the place where one belongs and to the person to whom one belongs, but more importantly, it is about coming home to the Lord.
It is a story about trust, unconditional love, reconciliation, truth and lies, the importance of forgiveness, and searching for those who are lost in darkness.
The plot makes for exciting reading and is full of biblical truth. The characters are very real and their struggles are well portrayed throughout the book. I can highly recommend this novel. Although it is not necessary to,do,so, I read the prequel, WAITING FOR DAWN, which gives some background to the story. In fact, I have read many novels by this author and have not been disappointed in any of them. I particularly enjoy the depth of scriptural truth that runs through her books.
