The Discovery Chapter – Free Days

Posted on by

Free days on Amazon for The Discovery Chapter (Hope and Grace Series – Book 4) 

Fiction came easy for Susan LeClaire. Working on her manuscripts gave her a safe place to bare her soul and write the true-life wrongs done to others. Keeping God at arm’s length, her author’s name merely an alias, Susan lived hidden in plain sight while the secrets in her own life stayed concealed.

Three years have passed since Steve Smith gazed into Susan’s beautiful face. As the opportunity came for them to meet again, he wondered how she was, and if she had healed from what she’d gone through.

As secrets are uncovered, Susan’s past collides with her future. What will the cost be to find the truth? Will those discoveries bring healing and help her step into the next chapter of her life, or will she be trapped forever in the pain of her past?

“WOW! This book blew me away! Not only does it have an awesome story, the messages given throughout are messages for the heart. I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to reading more by this author!” ~ Amber

“I believe I have read all of Lisa’s novels and I am never disappointed. I downloaded this one just a few hours ago with the plan to read the intro and then come back to it another day. Didn’t happen. I got sucked in and carried away as page after page of God’s truth influenced the characters and me. I mean, who takes notes in fiction! More than a great story, The Discovery Chapter is an invitation to discover the goodness of our Creator and who we could be if we surrender to Him.” ~ Dutchess Horton

It’s personal

Posted on by

Some see God as sitting in the heavens watching from afar, yet God is compassionate, merciful, tender-hearted, and personally cares for each of His children.

Your salvation is personal, and God’s care is personal, “thus says the Lord, your Creator, … He who formed you, … ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior’” (Isaiah 43:1-3a, NASB). “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10, NASB).

God is with you, He will strengthen you, He will help you, He will uphold you. God is El Roi—the God who sees. God sees you. No one may seem to notice you. No one may see your brokenness as you sit in the dust of past failures, past sins, or past difficulties. No one knows your silent pain, your deepest needs and longings. No person may know the battle you are going through right now, but God does. He sees you. He knows your heart. He cares for you. “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the LORD, who has compassion on you” (Isaiah 54:10, NIV).

Therefore, “Be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might” (Ephesians 6:10, AMP). “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9, NASB). “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread … for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6, ESV). 

God’s unfailing love, peace, and compassion are always with you. God loves you. Rest in God’s personal love and care. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. (Matthew 11:28-29, AMPC).

Float by Faith

Float by Faith

I would love to float in clear skies, serene, carefree, and untethered from life’s difficulties. However, the problems of this world often weigh me down.

This quote challenged me, “It is a sign of weakness to always worry and fret, question everything, and mistrust everyone. Can anything be gained by it? Don’t we only make ourselves unfit for action, and separate our minds from the ability to make wise decisions? We simply sink in our struggles when we could float by faith.” ~ Lettie Cowman

Doesn’t floating by faith sound wonderful? Yet, how do we float by faith in a world filled with anxiety, fear, frustration, anger, health issues, negative news reports, unending distractions, and other life issues?

Join me as we explore ways to be fueled by God’s joyful peace and empowered with His power to Float by Faith through the obstacles and storms of life.
