Promises, Promises

By Amber Miller, Amber Stockton

Description:

Has God forsaken Raelene?

What kind of God would take a girl's family and leave her alone in a wild land where women have no voice? When Gustaf Hanssen promises Raelene's dying father that he will take care of her, he finds himself bound to her happiness, her success, and her well-being in ways he never imagined.

To keep his word, must Gustaf really oversee all of Raelene's affairs, find her a husband, and maintain her farm, while she does nothing but scorn him?

Can God reach through Raelene's pain and self-centeredness and give her the love that awaits, if only she will accept His will?

Book Takeaway:

Knowing that no matter what, God is always there. He never leaves or forsakes us, and what He promises will come to pass.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to portray a hero in the light of Christ, a man who embodied the image of what every man can be when he relies fully on God and not himself. I wanted to shine the love of Christ to the heroine through the hero. The heroine in this novel addresses the issue of doubting God and believing she can accomplish her goals alone, without anyone else's help.
