Another good one! I didn't know how this one was going to be but again very realistic and brought about some things I never thought about. I can tell that I will love this series. It is such a smooth ride. Enough drama to keep you reading but nothing that will make you have to take a break from the book and go lay down lol. Also so very good word in here!

Read this book in 2 days. Kept me in suspense the entire time. I was glad to see Kenneth and Elizabeth rekindle their marriage. Nothing is sustainable without God. Without him there marriage would have suffered like so many today. There were so many relevant points like praying consistently. There is power in prayer and how we must fight on our knees. A definite reread.

I am really enjoying the Rain series. I. The 2nd installment, Abundant Rain; we see The Lord working in the marriage of Kenneth and Elizabeth. We see first hand how Satan comes to seek kill and destroy, but God! The Rain series is Fire!!!!

Excellent message of God's redemptive power and restoration. I really enjoyed this one in the Rain Series! Great job Vanessa Miller, sorry I slept on this series so long! I will be reading Latter Rain next; Isaak's & Nina's story should be very good!
