Australian, contemporary Christian fiction. If you like thought-provoking Christian fiction, relatable characters, and real emotion, then you’ll love Christine Dillon’s soul-stirring series. Christian fiction at its best ... It has such strong messages of grace and forgiveness and the everyday struggles of living a Christian life. It is the 4th book in a series and I'd recommend reading the other books first to get more of the back story ... (JS, Goodreads reviewer). - There is so much to love about this book: the beautiful Australian scenery; adventure that makes you want to join in; deep, meaningful and even heart-breaking conversations (you may need some tissues handy) and relatable characters that stick with you long after you put the book down. A powerful and engaging story that includes an extraordinary amount of practical and biblical wisdom-intricately woven in without feeling forced or unnatural. (SL, Goodreads reviewer). - Christine Dillon's fourth book in the "Grace" series is every bit as gut wrenching and uplifting as her first three. It's a book that tackles head-on the difficult issue of forgiveness: of oneself, and of others. Yet it does so with compassion and sensitivity. I love how Christine weaves her tales around true-to-life characters - who seem so real you could hug them - and historical events which she describes with such clarity and vividness you can't help but cry ... And just like her last three novels, this one left me wanting more: more of her vibrant, joyful, thirst-quenching, technicolor world. (KW, Goodreads reviewer).
