ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Karen Ball , bestselling novelist, is also the editor behind several of today's bestselling Christian novels. Her love for words was passed down through her father and grandfather - both pastors who shared God's truth through sermons and storytelling. Blending humor, poignancy, and honesty, Karen's writing style is a powerful force for revealing God's truth. She lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, and their "kids," Bodhan, a mischief-making Siberian husky, and Dakota, an Aussie-terrier mix who should have been named "Destructo."
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Nothing’s going to stop Kyla…
until the ground crumbles beneath her feet.
Kyla Justice has arrived. Her company, Justice Construction, is one of the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful companies in the Pacific Northwest. And yet, something is missing. Not until she’s called on to build a center for inner-city kids does she realize what it is: her sense of purpose. Now nothing can stop her, not the low budget, not supply problems, not gang opposition, not her boyfriend’s suggestion that she sell her business and marry him–and most especially not that disagreeable Rafael Murphy.
Rafe Murphy understands battle. Wounded in action, this Force Recon Marine carries the scars–and the nightmares–to prove it. Though he can’t fight overseas any longer, he’s found his place as a warrior in the civilian world. So he soldiers on, trusting that one of these days, God will reveal to him why Rafe survived the ambush in Iraq. That day has arrived.
Kyla and Rafe both discover that determination alone won’t carry them through danger and challenges. When gang violence threatens their very foundations, there’s only one way to survive: rely on each other, be real–and surrender to God. In other words, risk everything…

ReplyDeletePosted! This was a GREAT book!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to post and will today - but the CFBA website is trashed! What happened? I can't get to it.

ReplyDeleteLOL...Kevin! It's just you...I was just there, and here.
ReplyDeleteThe website will go down this week to move to the new server, but it is still there right now. What did you need on the website?
I would hope that it would be tonight, but all the servers aren't repopulated yet to take it down completely!
I'm up with a review at http://carasmusings.blogspot.com and www.shoutlife.com/caraputman
ReplyDeleteHere's my post at Bibliophile's Retreat
ReplyDeleteYeah one to add to favorite authors list to read other books from when I need something tried and true.
My post is up and it's my first time so I hope I did it right :-)
ReplyDeleteHi guys and gals! Our website is up and running on the new server! You won't notice much of a difference. I created a new template that almost matched the one we had over on GoDaddy.
ReplyDeleteLOL...they don't let you transfer templates from free hosing accounts, so I had to write the code myself! But we're up and running!
There will be new things to come...in the New Year!
