For decades, Veronika’s past stayed hidden. Yet the repercussions of what was done to her and what she had done continued to ripple through time.
As her secrets come to light, will they destroy those she loves or reveal God’s masterpiece beneath?
To the reader:
Your life canvas may have been smeared with dirt and grime, and others may have used and abused you, but God’s masterpiece remains untouched. No matter what you have gone through in your life, no matter what is happening now, God’s love can weave a golden bond of restoration and redemption within you. Jesus holds out His nail-scarred hands and beckons you. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Someday, we will all see the God-created masterpiece beneath.
My sweet hubby and I watched a movie from the 1940’s — a gentle story of a family with all their funny little idiosyncrasies, struggles, hopes, and dreams. For days, I contemplated the gentleness of the film, the love the family had for one another and the sacrifices they made through each hardship. Their story gentled my heart.
In a world full of hardships and struggles, we need a gentle story. We need to see that others have made it through the pain, misunderstandings, family issues, and life issues. We need a happy ending.
The Bible has the most gentle of stories, the story of One who laid down His all so we could gain all. Jesus Christ sacrificed so all who will come to Him become His family. Jesus grants eternal life and gives His gentle help through the trials and difficulties here on earth.
God hushes storms to gentle whispers, and He offers to carry our heart-wrenching burdens on His gentle heart. In the family of God, He will help us through the pain, misunderstandings, family issues, and life issues, and will always bring us to a happy ending.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the offer of anyone to come into Your family through Jesus Christ. Thank You for Your unfailing love and that You will never leave us or forsake us. Thank You that You are an ever-present help in time of trouble. Thank You Heavenly Father, for Your gentle heart that carries us through this crazy world and brings us safely home. Please gentle my heart in You.
“He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that the waves of the sea are still” (Psalm 107:29, AMPC).
“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).
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
