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,

THE ANGEL OF SECOND STREET by BARBARA TIFFT BLAKEY

Publication date 1/5/25
THE ANGEL OF SECOND STREET by BARBARA TIFFT BLAKEY is the beautiful story of  Ida Dempsey and Blaine Prestcott who fall in love, both wanting to share their faith and live their lives to honour God……
It is 1884 in Eureka, California, and Ida’s first attempts to minister to the Chinese and the prostitutes in Second Street are disappointing. I like to see the gentle way Blaine supports her efforts…..
Blaine’s parents do everything they can to separate them, and we see how he tries to honour his parents without allowing them to control his life.
Ida also tries to honour her beloved aunt and uncle, whilst going ahead with her plans to share Jesus with the less fortunate.
There are many twists and turns, but through it all their love for the Lord and dependence upon Him shine through.
I cannot recommend this wonderful, heart warming and truly inspirational, read strongly enough. I see it is the first novel in the Enduring Hope series and I am looking forward to the next one.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Barbour Publishing. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
