Love Worthy of a Second Chance (Church Love Book 1)

---

Please try again later. This book is totally awesome! I enjoyed the storyline and the fact that I can learn man lessons while also being entertained. Although the length of the book is slightly long I surprised myself by reading the book within two or three days!

Just as I did, you will fall in love with every character and desire to know more about them. At the end of the book the author includes a few question that help me put some of the books content into a realistic perspective. Honestly owning this book will change your life for the better by allowing you to consider the "dating process" and your relationship with the people you know and the God you serve.

Feb 15, Cynthia rated it really liked it. I loved this book. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I was distracted by some of the grammatical errors Don't let my "nit-pickyness" keep you away! If you like romance novels and inspirational novels and drama-filled novels, then this book is all of those and more.

The setting is in beautiful Savannah, Georgia - a place I have visited several times and love - a magical, mysterious, and wonderfully complex old Southern city. Shantae Charles has three novels in the Church Love Series. I have read two, so far, and I am embarrassed to admit I have been slacking in reading the third, even though I have owned it for a few years now.

Cursed & Cherished: The Duke's Wilful Wife

I want to be able to sit and read it all at once, and it is over pages. I have not had that much time to devote to reading a book that length in one block of time or in even one week.

I know, I can pick it up over time, but in my ADD or impatience, I always want to continue reading and not wait for later, because I don't want to forget where I am in the story nor forget the characters. However, the book is an easy read, and will keep you engaged and wanting to turn the pages to find out what is going to happen to the characters next.

I love how the author develops the characters, and she pulls you in to discover their hopes and fears and complexities And so they walk away. But I contend, in those dark times, if you walk away from God, what else are you putting your hope in? Or have you completely abandoned all hope for the future.

Editorial Reviews

In the same way our failure to understand suffering causes us to walk away from Jesus — this teaching was causing everyone to walk too. And as the crowds were leaving him we read this:.

You have the words of eternal life. Do you see in this statement how Peter recognizes that while Jesus teaching is challenging, he has no other options. After walking away from God, we might try to put our hope into things apart from Jesus — we might put our hope in our income, or in our spouse, or in our reputation, or into addictive behavior that makes us feel better like shopping or drinking.

But do we really think any of these things are worth building the foundation of our life on? Or are they just fleeting diversions? I think David got it right when he penned Psalm And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. God has promised never to leave us or abandon us. He has promised to cleanse us when we confess our sin.

He has promised to give us his inheritance one day as we live in the Kingdom where all our sickness is healed, where all are loved ones who love Jesus will be, where there is no pain, no evil, no suffering, and no reason to blame God for failing us. At that time we will see in completion his Goodness.

Compared to that, nothing else even comes close! Putting our hope in God is meaningless if he is known for letting people down. But we read in Hebrews:. This is the God who promised 70 year old, childless Abraham that he would have descendants that outnumbered the sand on the ground. And at years old, God gave him a son, born to his 90 year old, baren wife. This is the God who promised to give the Israelites the land of Canaan. This is the God who fulfills not a few prophecies about the coming Messiah, but dozens of prophecies are fulfilled in his life, death, and resurrection.

Throughout the Old Testament, God was making dozens of promises about the coming Messiah, and he was faithful to fulfill them all!

Abraham tried to have a child through his servant. Herod did all he could to try and kill baby Jesus. And through it all, God remained faithful to his promises.
