That extends to many issues in each of our lives -- whether it be writing, praying for the salvation of lost loved ones, healing, and even shedding those unwanted pounds! lol Although it may take awhile, if it's God's will, He'll bring it to pass. Congrats on the success of your writing career!

It was gritty, real and redemptive with a beautiful and transparent faith thread. The excerpt shared here was one of my favorite scenes and pivotal to the story. I was so proud of Chase. Forgiveness was my first time reading a book by Marianne and I was so happy to find another Christian author to enjoy. Best wishes to the success of this book and all others.

Two specific times I've done so have been the most spiritually rewarding in my life. One such time was in 1996 when I felt led to leave my job and move to another state where I knew no one and had no job or place to live - to become a cast member of an ongoing Passion Play about the life of Christ. I might add I loved to sing, but had never done any acting of any kind - even in school. <br /><br />The second time was a vision God gave me, almost 4 years ago - of organizing a retreat for Christian Fiction authors and readers to fellowship together, learn more about each other, and thank God for the gift of Christian Fiction and it's authors. Last January, He led me to two other readers who became co-organizers with me. The first Christian Fiction Reader's Retreat (CFRR) was held in Nashville this past August, the three of us are currently praying for God's leading in the planning of the 2017 retreat.

With the help of God and postive attitudes, we must push ahead. Thank you for sharing.
