The Raven Saint

By MaryLu Tyndall

Description:

Grace Westcott has spent her entire life serving God and helping the poor—not to mention trying to save the souls of her two wayward sisters. But while on an errand of mercy, she is kidnapped by a French mercenary and told she will be sold to a Spanish Don in Columbia.
Determined to hold on to her faith and see God in every situation, she believes she must have been sent to help someone find God’s love. But no one will listen to her please, warnings, and prayers.
When Grace’s situation grows far worse than she could imagine, she is forced to face her own human weaknesses. But she isn’t prepared to face her biggest weakness of all—falling in love with the nefarious captain, Rafe Dubois.
Will Grace discover god’s purpose for this harrowing journey? And what will she do when she realizes His purpose for her is not to redeem the captain and his crew, but herself?

Book Takeaway:

Hopefully, this book will cause the reader to examine his or her own heart to see if there is any arrogance or judgement of others that is causing them to push people away from God.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to portray a good Christian character who does all the right things, goes to church, helps the poor, preaches the gospel, but who has forgotten the grace of God and who looks at sinners through the eyes of judgment instead of love and grace.
