Christian Novel Review

Having always been an avid reader, since becoming a Christian I have found a wealth of reading material in Christian bookshops and in various second hand bookshops. I have found that in Christian novels one often finds truths that help in one’s Christian walk. I enjoy reading about how the various characters deal with life, and I also find I am the richer for reading a really good Christian novel. Certain authors, through their books, give you a real insight into their joys and struggles, which I find very interesting. The books which I am going to review are those which I have really enjoyed, and have read at least twice – some books, for example the “Mark of the Lion “ series by Francine Rivers, I have read at least five times each. The first books that I am going to talk about are the latest two novels by Francine Rivers,

LEGACY RECLAIMED by ROBIN PATCHEN

LEGACY RECLAIMED is the third novel in the Legacy series by ROBIN PATCHEN, and although the story takes place in Coventry New Hampshire and Nutfield, and we come across some of the characters from earlier books, each one is a stand alone. I have read and enjoyed them all but Legacy Reclaimed is my new favourite!
When heiress, Chelsea Hamilton, meets P.I., Dylan O'Donnell, outside the food bank in downtown Nutfield, little do they know what is in store for them! They both have lost loved ones in horrific circumstances in the past. They also both have strong faith in the Lord which has brought them through the pain. Now they have to trust the Lord to keep them safe and uncover who it is that is responsible for Chelsea's parents' accidents and who wants her dead.
Very loyal to Hamilton Clothiers of which she is now the head, Chelsea is determined to make a go of things for her parents' sake. Dylan is committed to keeping Chelsea alive, trusting nobody until they find the killer.
The story is action packed from beginning to end with memorable characters, romance, and great Christian content. I cannot recommend the book highly enough.

7 Feasts by Erin Davis

Publication date 2/6/20
7 FEASTS, Finding Christ in the Sacred Celebrations of the Old Testament, by ERIN DAVIS is a wonderful book, well researched and well written, easy to read and understand. Based largely on Leviticus, the author shows us the gospel in the feasts. The book is full of scriptural references between the Old and New Testaments, and the reader is encouraged to really take part in the study. It could also be used in a group bible study. It is encouraging and, I would say, a "must read" for any woman who is serious about living for Christ. Although the author speaks to women the truths in this book apply to everyone. She has a lovely, easy way of writing that really involves the reader on every level.
Having been blessed to be part of a church where the biblical feasts and what Jesus did for us in His death and resurrection were celebrated, the book really resonated with me and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

WHERE THE ROAD BENDS by DAVID RAWLINGS

Publication date 2/6/20
WHERE THE ROAD BENDS is another beautifully written, thought provoking, modern day parable by DAVID RAWLINGS. There is a subtle Christian message running through the book.
The story takes place in the Australian Outback, miles from anywhere, with four college friends meeting for a reunion fifteen years after graduating. Lincoln, a wealthy stock broker, has arranged the trip. He is proud of his success, but is hiding a lot of hurt. Eliza is a successful budsiness woman, about to be made CEO of a prestigious fashion house, but she feels unfulfilled as she charts her own way through life. Bree is a happily married mother of two little girls, who has failed in her music career, is very fearful, and who constantly hears her mother's voice telling her what a failure she is. Andy has his own demons to battle, being addicted to gambling.
The four friends are hiding such a lot from each other and are holding on to so much resentment, hurt and disillusionment. They are asked by the tour guides and the people who help them when they are scattered during a sandstorm, where they have come from and where their lives are actually going. It is a question we could all ask ourselves! Also we are reminded of the importance of letting go of the past in order to go forward on life's journey.
I don't want to tell you any more and spoil the story for you, except to say that it is a really worthwhile read.
