Miller's Creek Forgiveness Collection

Christian Romantic Suspense and Companion Bible Study

2014

Christian Romantic Suspense and Companion Bible Study Now bundled in this digital collection, the fifth Miller's Creek novel A BRIDGE UNBROKEN and its companion Bible study THE FRAGRANCE OF CRUSHED VIOLETS both explore the difficult topic of forgiving the inexcusable. A BRIDGE UNBROKEN Not all scars are visible... Frightened and on the run, Dakota Kelly just wants to erase the painful past. But her plan to start afresh is derailed when she co-inherits her late grandfather’s farm with her high school sweetheart—the one responsible for the scars on her heart. Unfortunately, he's not the only ghost from the past. Someone else is on her trail and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Will Chance and Dakota lay aside old wounds and a harbored secret to restore the old farmhouse and bridge, or will evil forces sabotage their attempts to forgive? THE FRAGRANCE OF CRUSHED VIOLETS A Bible study on forgiveness... What do we do when someone seems determined to bring us down through an attack that is personal, public, and unfounded? How do we deal with meaningless acts of destruction especially when the offender shows no remorse? In short, how do we move past the emotional pain to a place of forgiveness? This forgiveness Bible study examines relevant scriptures for the purpose of building a Biblical understanding of: • what forgiveness is and what it isn't • God's role in the process of forgiveness • what Jesus accomplished at the cross for each of us • our mandate to forgive as we've been forgiven • what gets in the way of forgiving others • and how to truly forgive the unforgivable Other stand-alone books in the Miller's Creek novels: Texas Roads A Path Less Traveled The Way of Grace Pilgrimage of Promise (Coming Soon: Crossroads) Interview With the Author Q - Why write stories about a small fictional town in Texas? A - I grew up in a small Texas town, so I know all the pros and cons and absolute blessings of living in a place like Miller's Creek—a laid-back, down-home lifestyle, wonderful folks, and even a few who think it's their job to know everyone's personal business. The stories were designed to give readers an experience of feeling like they've arrived at a place that feels like home. Although the Miller's Creek novels are technically classified as romances, they're really so much more: southern fiction, women's fiction (though I have a surprisingly high amount of men readers), suspense, comedy, drama, even a little bit of psychological thriller thrown in to keep readers turning pages. And each of the books carry a distinctive spiritual theme as well as an overall journey theme for the series. (Hence words like roads, path, way, pilgrimage, and bridge in the titles.) Q - So why will readers be interested in the Miller's Creek novels? A - Based on reader reviews, I'd say the books are compelling reads for these reasons: 1. They make readers laugh one minute and tear up the next. 2. They offer plenty of conflict and tension to keep readers turning pages. 3. The setting is compelling. (Some readers have compared Miller's Creek to Mayberry, only Texas-style. And I've lost count of how many readers have told me they want to live in Miller's Creek.) 4. The characters are endearing and relatable. 5.
