Here are a couple of books I would like to tell you about.
CAPTURED BY GRACE by David Jeremiah
This is a two fold story in that it tells about the life and salvation of John Newton, the author of Amazing Grace: and the story of Paul and his life and salvation on the Damascus road.
What is the confusing paradox of Grace? As you sing about the “many dangers, toils, and snares” think how different life would have been had “Grace” not brought you through. Would you have succumbed to the temptations of life?
John and Paul came through them because of the “Grace of God” Things like beatings, shipwrecks, prison, bad choices, abandonment, surviving a murder plot, etc. I can imagine them comparing notes in Heaven with words like, “been there, done that”.
Grace can set you free from shameful memories open wounds, unthinking mistakes, or willful choices. Grace changed forever the lives of
John Newton and the Apostle Paul and it will change you too.
BRIDGE TO HAVEN by Francine Rivers
This is a modern day prodigal daughter story. It will break your heart and keep you reading about God’s mercy and love no matter how far away you get from GOD. This precious girl is out to be “somebody” and will go to extremes to do it.

It has love, mystery, history, and music and lots of prayers that will inspire you to read this book.
