Freeing Ellie (The Redeemed Side of Broken Series) (Volume 2)

By Joan Deneve

Description:

Life couldn’t be better or sweeter for Eric and Ellie Templeton as they begin their life together as new Christians and a newly married couple. But Ellie enters her marriage with some baggage of her own. What if Eric goes back on another mission? What if she loses this man who has become her life? Even, worse, what if God never lets them have a child of their own? God has some spiritual surgery He must perform on Ellie to free her from the deep-seated feelings of guilt and doubt that have bound her soul for years. God painstakingly and lovingly creates the perfect storm of events designed specifically to bring Ellie to the place where she can “let go” and fully trust God. No. Matter. What.

Book Takeaway:

My prayer is that the reader will relate to some of the issues facing Ellie and be able to work through those issues as she eventually does. Only God's truth can make you free. "Retreat to the truth, not your feelings."

Why the author wrote this book:

Freeing Ellie continues the story of Eric and Ellie Templeton from Saving Eric. As a reader, I like stories that end with "happy ever after" but I long to know what happens when real life happens to the couple. New to the Christian faith, Eric and Ellie face challenges that rock their world and test their faith. Ellie especially has issues of guilt from past mistakes and clinical depression that affect her ability to trust God in times of trial. I think many believers struggle with issues such as these.
