A Secret Hope (Sword and Spirit Series Book 1)By Renee YancyDescription:
Ciara of Tir Maic is living a lie. She's an imposter. For most of her young life she's hidden a secret that means death if it’s discovered. Although she is studying to become a druidess, she doubts the power of the gods she is to serve and dares to hope there is more to the universe than the spirits of fire and water she has been taught to worship from her childhood. Book Takeaway:God always has a will and a plan for your life, even when you can't see it. Why the author wrote this book:Before I became a Christian in 1975, I had a strange feeling of expectation that entire spring that something momentous was coming. I had read a letter of St. Patrick's in which he mentions that he had the privilege of baptizing an Irish princess. I began to wonder what it might have been like to live in a world where the gospel was unknown. I thought perhaps the Holy Spirit might have given certain people an intimation of something to come, and the story was born. |
