I have written and published six Christian historical novels, three rescued from food addiction devotionals, two ultimate planners, and Rescued from Worry, which is my personal story. I started Purebooks Publishing and publish other people’s books. I teach writer’s workshop classes and tell authors that readers want their books to reach their hearts. To do this, your story has to reach your heart first. If you put your heart into your writing, your readers will automatically connect. What makes a great story? One that moves you and has a lasting effect on your life without the explicit. That’s the kind of books I like to read and write.
This book is one of my favorites. I like it because it’s part of a series. It’s fun because you follow many characters, 10-12 partially main characters, in fact. This was the first Christian Historical Fiction novel I had read where there was a little supernatural mixed in. I didn’t know that was even allowed! It inspired me to add that in my novels.
I really liked it because it didn’t have any explicit content in it. It was completely appropriate and that is hard to find these days, even in Christian fiction. I liked how all the characters interact with each other in the story. There’s plenty of mystery and adventure and lots going on.

This book is alive. It is quick and powerful. It was the only book that brought me peace when I was extremely worried and fearful. This book taught me how to get free from that and stay free.
I couldn’t live without this book. It’s truth. It’s health. It’s prosperity. It’s my everything.
I love this book because it gives you such a wonderful example and perspective of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. It makes them so real and personable.
I like how the author doesn’t blame God for everything but sees it more like how the Bible teaches. It’s very moving. It brings you right in and gets you emotionally attached to the characters.
