Lighten Up

By Angela Ruth Strong

Description:

Bethany Light is the daughter of a minister who can't forgive her father for running off with the church secretary. She goes to her own pastor for counsel, never expecting to fall in love with him. To make matters worse, she's personal training his fiancé in preparation for the big day and somehow ends up in their wedding. Refusing to make the same mistake her dad made, Bethany tries to focus on fixing her family rather than face her own issues. How could a household that used to have it all together have fallen so far from grace? And how can she keep from following in her father's footsteps when it feels so right?

Book Takeaway:

We should give mercy because we all need it.

Why the author wrote this book:

As a pastor's daughter, I wondered how I would handle it if my dad ever "fell" like so many other pastors I know. I wanted to deal with the idea that nobody is immune to temptation.
