Season of Hope

GIVEAWAY

ANDERSON, BRENDA S.

SEASON OF HOPE

When a shocking revelation shatters her family and her faith, will truth prevail and mend what was broken?

Life is good for Ronnie Coborn. She's newly married to a man who loves her and dotes on her daughter. A man handpicked by Ronnie's father, a popular pastor at a megachurch who's been married to her mother for forty years.

Yes, life is good.

Until a shocking revelation exposes the fact that everything in her idyllic life -- her marriage, family, and faith -- is based on a lie.

My Review:

Not your grandmother's traditonal Hallmark Christmas story. :-) Anderson has penned a compelling Christmas tale of hope and grace and second chances. This is life at its messiest and only the promise of a Savior's love can mend and heal and renew. 

True confession: I didn't connect with Ronnie at first. She was already on my naughty list for the way she acted in Song of Mercy (no worries if you haven't read that novel, this book reads well as a standalone too) so it was always going to be an uphill battle but -- oy, that girl...I think I wore my back molars down from clenching my teeth during this read. :-)

Gavin is too good for her...or so I thought...and I just wanted him to stand up for himself and give her what for. Sigh. Clearly I needed a lesson on forgiveness and unconditional love because Anderson worked her usual storytelling wizardry and had me not only rooting for their marriage but coming to love this stubborn, complicated heroine. 

Their story is grounded in faith and filled with so many incredible inspirational insights that you could almost bill it as a devotional.

"The results we desire aren't promised us, but God will hear our prayers, and He will give us peace regardless of the outcome." (p 165)

A thought provoking look inside a fragile marriage only God can make whole.

My thanks to the author for gifting me with a copy of this book.
