La Elegida para Harley

By Heidi Gray McGill

Description:

Loretta es una hija de papi a la que le encanta cazar, pescar y montar a caballo. Desafortunadamente, ella también es malcriada y se frustra fácilmente. Cuando ocurre la tragedia, todo de lo que ella dependía desaparece instantáneamente y su única esperanza de supervivencia está en la frontera de Montana. Loretta no oculta su enojo por la calamidad que destruyó su vida, culpando al último miembro vivo de su familia.

Pero cuando el desastre ocurre por segunda vez, Loretta encuentra un nuevo destino que se le impone. Su pasado no es suyo, ni tampoco lo es la historia que está viviendo.

Al establecerse con amigos de la familia en las tierras salvajes de Montana sobre el río Yellowstone en territorio indio Assiniboine, las realidades de la vida en 1868 cobran vida cuando Loretta alcanza la mayoría de edad. Intenta dejar su vida en manos del destino, pero Dios dirige sus pasos.

Ella no era lo que él esperaba, pero era exactamente lo que necesitaba.

Book Takeaway:

The importance of knowing and being who you are can only be overstated by Whose you are.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this book because I’ve always had a passion for sharing Jesus, especially with those who speak a language other than my own. As the retired founder and director of an English as a Second Language (ESL) ministry, I had the privilege of interacting with hundreds of students eager to learn English. I quickly learned that sharing Jesus with them often meant using simple actions or words.

We made it our mission to provide every student with a Bible in their native language, but I realized that understanding and applying God’s Word to our daily lives becomes even more powerful when we see it lived out in a story. That’s why I wanted to create a book that brings Scripture to life, showing how faith can be woven into the fabric of our everyday experiences.

Recently, one of my former advanced-level ESL students, Katia, took on the task of translating A Bride for Harley into Spanish. This has allowed me to reach even more people with the message of God’s redeeming love, making it accessible to Spanish-speaking individuals who can benefit from reading Christian fiction and seeing Scripture in action.
