In this episode Tiffanie, Jamie, and Melissa discuss The Messenger’s Mischief by Julia David. This is the first book in her Wells Fargo West series.

Miss Elaine Balderhoff is as sweet and innocent as they come. As the new schoolteacher in Virginia City, she works hard to maintain propriety while showing her students the love of Christ.

Do you stop and think about your children’s souls? Don’t you want to give your children the best? Well, the best is Jesus Christ who redeems us and presents us to His father as wholesome, clean, and new. So that, we may have everlasting life in paradise with Him.

A chance to sit down and talk with award-winning author Julie Lessman, is always a treat. You can’t walk away without being inspired by her testimony and commitment to serve God. It’s the same kind of inspiration you get when you read her books!

This week's inspirational moment is not coming from a historical Christian romance novel, but rather we are sitting down with Sarah Turnquist and Gregg Bridgeman to talk about what is a biblical marriage.

In the last novel, A Passion Redeemed, Julie blew her readers away with the revelation of Charity’s past and Mitch’s. Believe it or not, she throws a shocker out about Brady’s past that will blow her readers away! In fact, Izzy doesn’t handle the news well herself.

If you are struggling today to accept the fact that God and will forgive you of all your sins, then please read your Bible! As Julie said it is riddled with real life accounts of sinners like you and me, who God not only forgave, but used to further His kingdom!

We left off with Mitch heading back home to Dublin with a broken heart after giving Faith up to Collin. And who should be waiting for him, scheming ways to make him hers? Charity.

Who you marry is the second most important decision in your life. The first is to follow Jesus Christ.

In this episode Tiff and I are discussing Julie Lessman’s book A Passion Most Pure. We get to follow Patrick and Marcy into parenthood as they help their children navigate adult life and love.

Song of Solomon 1:2-4: Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers.

If you are a fan of Julie’s work, then you know she packs her novels with passion. Not passion of the world, but God’s passion. We live in a fallen world and when we pursue its version of passion, we sell ourselves short of God’s boundless passion.

In this episode Tiffanie and I discuss Julie Lessman’s prequel to her Daughters of Boston series, A Light in the Window. This is the love story of Marceline Murphy and Patrick O’Connor, the matriarch and patriarch of the O’Connor family.

Julie captures her readers with an introduction to our hero, Patrick O’Connor, that is both humorous and romantic. Patrick is quite a rogue and bad boy. He and his best friend Sam are drinking the sacred wine in the confessional, because they can’t afford drinks at their favorite bar, Brannigan’s. Hilarity ensues when Father Fritz catches them. However, before they are caught Patrick shares his feelings for Marcy after seeing her from a distance.

I want to start by talking about the potential we have in carrying a thwarted view of God in our minds. Julie’s hero Patrick O’Connor has a demeaning father who is abusive both physically and verbally. Patrick compensates by leaning on his own confidence and ability to have any woman he wants. Which he does, as he is the Greek god of the Southie Neighborhood.

There are many verses in the bible that address marriage and the roles and responsibilities of the husband and wife. Unfortunately, many of these verses are taken out of context to serve worldly views and selfish desires. Marriage is not for the selfish, but rather the selfless.

I just have to say that Crystal created the perfect woman for Josiah. Gwendolyn is sweet, courageous, and wise. Which makes her the best fit for Josiah, who is chivalrous romantic with a propensity to flirt and save a damsel in distress. However, when he finds the one, he is hopelessly devoted, and Gwen finds all his flirtations focused on her!

These verses from Titus are so encouraging as we face our temptations and vices on a daily basis. We all have them. Maybe for you it’s gossip, or lust, or alcohol, or vanity, or pride. Whatever the temptation or vice is, we have the strength to turn away from it when we turn to God.

Beulah is not your typical heroine and Silas is not your typical hero, yet their story will capture your heart. I think too often we say love and passion is only for the young, but we can have it no matter what our age. Danni Roan shows this in Beulah and Silas’s love story.

When I think about grace, I always pair it with mercy which is forgiving and compassionate. I was once told that mercy is God sparing us from his full wrath because of our sin. Basically, sparing us from the punishment we deserve because of our sin. Grace is what God extends to us when we repent and turn to Him.

Sadina’s story will capture your heart immediately. She married a man whom she thought loved her, but she soon found out he had wondering eyes. When he left her alone and destitute to raise their daughter, her mother-in-law turned on her along with others in the community. Sadina does her best to provide for her daughter, while staying in the shadows.
