Jesus didn’t stop at the golden rule but asked us to go beyond what even ‘sinners’ do. Some may ask why should I do this? You have no idea what that person has done to me! Yes, he does. Jesus endured slander, insults, and physical beatings from His enemies, yet He still loved them enough to suffer death on a cross for them, for you, and for me.

We are bringing you another novella this week filled with second chances. If you read last week’s novella, then you know Greg and Sonia have an unpleasant experience in their past. This in turn makes things a wee bit difficult for her and Juan at first.

I love reading the words Jesus spoke. They are filled with wisdom and push us to take a hard look at the state of our own heart. His words cautioning us to not pass judgement on others are easier said than done for us.

In this episode Tiffanie, Jamie and Melissa discuss the first book in Kathleen Ball’s novella series, The Settlers, titled Greg. We do want to make all our listeners aware the not all of Kathleen’s books are historical Christian romance. She does write secular romance as well, so be sure to check their genre before you start reading. This series however is part of her historical Christian romance genre.

Today’s inspirational moment is a little different. This past week I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with author Julie Lessman about her newest book A Dare and A Prayer. If you ever get a chance to meet Julie you will soon discover she is an amazing woman of God filled with her own inspirational stories, which she packs into her novels. I’m sure you’ll walk away inspired by her interview.

Welcome, everyone. I am so excited to have Jodi Basye here with us. We just completed some episodes on her Cross Family Saga, and it's just an honor to have her on our show. We love to hear the behind the scenes of the books that we read.

Hebrews 1:14 – Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who inherit salvation?

Have you ever wondered about the spirit world? Or how our prayers impact spiritual battles? We live in the physical world, yet out true home, our eternal home is in the spiritual world. I know this starts to sound a bit crazy but hang with me today. I want to shed some light on spiritual warfare and the power of our prayers.

I cannot give enough praise for Julie Lessman’s newest book, A Dare and A Prayer. This is by far her best novel yet. She delivers big on the romance, character arc, and justice.

Welcome back to another inspirational moment from historical Christian romance novels.

John 14:1-3 – “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

In this episode Jamie and Melissa discuss Redeeming the Outlaw by Jodi Basye. This is the third book in her Cross Family Saga.

Jodi let’s her readers continue to enjoy Gideon and Jo’s love as she spotlights Matthias and Elaine’s journey to happy ever after. If you remember Jo’s sister, Elaine the pain, from Redeeming the Prodigal then you can well imagine what an interesting story Jodi wrote. Especially since she paired her with Matthias a former outlaw from Jo’s past.

We tend to get stuck or trapped by two thoughts on sin. The first one being that one sin is worse than the other. The truth is, sin is sin, and all sin hurts God and grieves His heart. Whether we are a gossiper or a murderer, our sin breaks God’s heart.

In this episode Jamie and Melissa discuss the second book in Jodi Bayse’s, Cross Family Saga, titled Redeeming the Prodigal.

God engineers our circumstances. How many times have you thought or said, what a coincidence? I have thought this probably a million times, we all have. Yet the closer we walk with the Lord, the more we realize nothing is a coincidence.

I cannot give enough praise for Julie Lessman’s newest book, A Dare and A Prayer. This is by far her best novel yet. She delivers big on the romance, character arc, and justice.

In this episode Jamie and Melissa discuss the novella, Redeeming the Swindler by Jodi Bayse.

We hand Jesus our sins and He gives us redemption so that we may have eternal life in Heaven with Him, the Holy Spirit, and God the Father. You won’t find a better exchange rate than this.
