Refining Fires

By Erin Rainwater

Description:

A disfigured veteran. A ruined nurse. A tormented child. A kept woman. Strangers whose paths cross, bringing redemption into each other’s lives in ways none of them could have predicted.

Her career in ruins, a desperate nurse answers an ad to care for a disabled veteran.

Disfigured in the war, the antisocial businessman can’t get his mind off the nurse he had tossed out of his home.

A young child who never leaves the confines of her mountain home must make a
treacherous journey alone to save her mother’s life.

A woman kept by men all her life learns through an old love that she has been kept all along by Someone else.

Three parts. One amazing story.

Book Takeaway:

The title, Refining Fires, is taken from a verse in Isaiah that says:“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.” The characters each go through a refining process in their own particular furnace of affliction, sometimes as a form of testing to prove the genuineness of our faith, sometimes as a form of discipline. My desire is to show how when we go through a refining process, for whatever reason, God provides the courage and tools we need to persevere, achieve victory, and come out refined. But the Refiner’s hand is always on us, regardless of how circumstances may appear.
