His Purpose
Fiction - Contemporary Christian Suspense & Romance
Mallory Carson had her life planned out since the age of 12. Her dream of becoming a social worker and helping her friends at the Capital City Rescue Mission are nearly within reach, when one night changes everything. Scared and pregnant, Mallory wonders if God really has a plan in this terrifying situation. And if He does, then He's got less than nine months to let her in on it.
After 27 years on the force, Detective Mack Reilly can't remember a case that caused him to lose so much sleep. Mallory Carson’s troubles should never be his own. He's built a solid reputation for solving mysteries and a ruthlessness to guarantee it's done quickly. Death is routine for him. It’s just life that he can't handle.
Pastor Dale Ballard of the Open Bible Church is on the brink of having the church building of his dreams. He loves his growing congregation and would do anything for them. But when factions collide over how to handle an unmarried youth group leader's pregnancy, he is forced to choose. Will he stand alongside a heart-broken young woman or move forward with the building committee's plans for the church's prosperous future?
As these three lives intertwine, no one is left untouched or unchanged by the unfolding events that occur when one of God's children is wounded.
I Was Deceived
Non-Fiction - Personal Testimony , Healing Journey
I took a chance and gave my heart away again. It seemed like a good risk because he was a Christian who had lovely Bible verses decorating the walls of his home. Little did I know the suffering that would follow.
This book is for broken-hearted people like me. The good news is that heart-healing is not for someday or even someone else. It is for now. It is for me, and it is for you!
You are worth it no matter what anyone else says – even yourself. We are done being stolen from and discarded. It’s time to heal well, be stronger than ever, and rise up to do those things that we were created to do.
This is my story of how I found real and permanent healing for my heart. If you’ve picked up this book (or had someone push it into your hand), you might just be ready to come along and see what is possible.
