A New Promise

by Julie Eller

In her debut novel, A New Promise, author Julie Eller brings you into the presence of an omniscient, omnipotent, and unconditionally loving God through the Parnell family's struggle to survive the multifaceted, devastating effects of Huntington's disease. As two adolescents endure the emptiness and pain from the absence of a dying mother, their father finds himself confronting God and returning to the blueprints of life, God's Word, His promises. You will find yourself pondering, 'If, under even remotely similar circumstances, would my faith remain in God, the Great Redeemer?' Would you trust that God brought you to this very moment in your life and that you're right where you're supposed to be? A New Promise exemplifies the truth of Proverbs 16:9, 'We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps, with an assurance that 'His ways are higher than our ways,' and that His ways are always best.

This book tells the story of a family struggling to do what is right under difficult circumstances. A bit predictable. But I enjoyed it.

A good expose of the problems of bulimia, drugs, and alcohol and God's promise to help us overcome all such issues.
