I’d been reared in the church, and had head-knowledge, but I didn’t make the decision to turn my will and my life over to Jesus until 1986 when I was in my late 30s.Ī wilderness experience quickly followed. Redeeming Love was the first book I wrote as a Christian. ![]() But with her permission, I’m sharing this encouraging and beautiful story: She is a humble person and not one to seek attention or make public statements. (Nanci and I stayed in their home some years ago.) When I was working on my book Giving Is the Good Life, I asked Frani to share about Redeeming Love, which she wrote more than twenty-five years ago. In my opinion, she is one of the finest writers of Christian fiction in the world.įrancine (who her friends know as Frani) and her husband Rick are committed followers of Jesus, and a delight. Redeeming Love is probably her best known, but my own favorite is The Atonement Child. Her books are exceptionally powerful, well-written, and always Christ-honoring.

Jamie Bond does not have a perfect life (as you find with many novels), she does not always know how she feels about the men in her life. Gemma Halliday weaves mystery with laughs (an a few tears). ![]() Derek Bond just wants Jamie to leave the matter alone but Jamie pushes ahead getting pulled deeper into the mystery and risking her life. This story takes a more personal twist as Jamie investigates her father's shooter much to the dismay of her father. Jamie goes after scum-bag cheating husbands in L.A. Jamie Bond is instantly likable as an ex-model turned private investigator. Her main character, Jamie Bond, is witty and relate-able. Gemma Halliday is an excellent writer who breathes life into the characters she creates.

Like Harrow the Ninth before it, Nona is completely different from its predecessor. Thankfully, Tamsyn Muir does some really cool structural, big-picture things that I can draw attention to. Nona the Ninth is an incredibly hard book to review without spoiling literally everything. ![]() RELATED: 13 Spooky New Horror Books Coming This Fall And every night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face. There’s a malevolent blue sphere floating in the sky, zombies and Blood of Eden attack and their leaders want Nona to become a weapon. In the midst of all this, her city is falling apart. She’s always known her body doesn’t belong to her, but the more she learns the more afraid she is to give it up when the time comes. Unlike everyone else, Nona only remembers the last six months of her life. ![]() She loves dogs and walks on the beach, and spends time with her family when she isn’t working at the local school.
