When the world says slow down, what if God says press on? In Redeeming the Time , Book One of the Faircourt Friends Series, Alexandra Armstrong delivers a richly layered novel that honors the spiritual depth, wisdom, and calling of seasoned Christians. You’ll get to know seven lifelong friends – Grant & Marie Renniger, Cal & June Sherman, Marcus & Ava Van Zant, and Elodie Ford – who pool their resources and purchase a large turn-of-the-20th-century house in fictional Faircourt, Kentucky, determined to live their retirement years missionally among new neighbors. Only they have no idea of the hurts and secrets their neighbors bear, nor of the challenges providentially appointed for them. In spite of testing, these spunky, sometimes hilarious friends are a witness to the beauty of lives still bearing fruit and refusing to settle for comfort when purpose still calls. From quiet moments of prayer to bold steps of service, each page reflects the longing of relatable retirees, beset with quirks and weaknesses, to serve and honor Christ. Redeeming the Time is a novel of hope, purpose, and joyful obedience. It speaks to every believer who wonders what it means to live faithfully in the later chapters of life. The answer is simple and profound: God still has work for you to do. Discover why Faircourt is hard to leave.
