A House Full of Hope

By Missy Tippens

Description:

FROM BLACK SHEEP TO FATHER OF FOUR...

Before becoming a Christian, Mark Ryker ran with a bad crowd and broke hearts. Including his father’s. Now a successful businessman, Mark has come home to Corinthia, Georgia, to make amends. But no one will forgive him. So when the widowed mother of four renting his dad’s run-down house needs help fixing up the place, Mark gets to work. Pretty Hannah Hughes and her sweet kids have him longing to be part of the clan, but Hannah isn’t ready to let go of the past. Still, they are working together on a house full of hope—and that’s all Mark needs.

Book Takeaway:

Trying to "buy" love and security leads to failure, but offering a caring hand leads to trust and acceptance.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to explore the issue of forgiveness, particularly forgiving someone you felt had destroyed your family. I also wanted to show the viewpoint of a man who had changed his life, and to explore how it would feel to be the one who needed forgiving.
