Refining FiresBy Erin RainwaterDescription:
A disfigured veteran. A ruined nurse. A tormented child. A kept woman. Strangers whose paths cross, bringing redemption into each other’s lives in ways none of them could have predicted. Book Takeaway:The title, Refining Fires, is taken from a verse in Isaiah that says:“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.” The characters each go through a refining process in their own particular furnace of affliction, sometimes as a form of testing to prove the genuineness of our faith, sometimes as a form of discipline. My desire is to show how when we go through a refining process, for whatever reason, God provides the courage and tools we need to persevere, achieve victory, and come out refined. But the Refiner’s hand is always on us, regardless of how circumstances may appear. |
