Morningshine

By Karen Gass

Description:

Morningshine is the story of a group of women. Some live near each other and a few others live hundreds of miles away. These are ordinary women, such as you and I. They do laundry, cook dinner, make quilts, and care for their families. Then, one day, God decides to do a work – using them in His plan. Morningshine proves the point that God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called. By being open to what God has shown them, these women make a huge difference in the lives of one of their neighbors, changing both the takers and the givers. Quilting is a large part of this story, as well as getting to know these women – Carrie, Eleanor, Connie, Lydia, Martha, Esther and Gert – intimately. Their struggles, their defeats, their triumphs, all come forward, making them perfect vessels to be used by Him.

Book Takeaway:

I hope you'll remember that God always answers prayers - in His timing.

Why the author wrote this book:

I didn't intend to write a book, but a short story for a newsletter. But the story took on a life of it's own, with characters coming to life - I couldn't stay away from it. I had to write it and then realized that wasn't the end of the story. Somehow, it went from a short story to a 3-book series.
