What God has for you is for You and not even SATAN can take it away! Games (Book 2 of the Simone Series) was such a powerful story. I still love me some Julia Simone a mighty mighty woman of God! Alysse kept a smile on my face a mother who loves her son! Brian & Shay was a great story of love, sin, forgiveness, commitment and new beginnings.
Now I have to go back and Re-read Liberation so that I can fall back in love with the main character :-) Wanda you never disappointment, May God's blessings continue to fall on you and your pen!
Wanda B. Campbell is one of the best Christian Fiction writers in this genre! She never disappoints and the storyline is on point. Brian & Shay's story needed to be told. I so enjoyed visiting with characters from previous stories. Great story for everyone!
I loved this story & characters! Family love shown in this story was so impressive. Forgiveness, support, & encouragement was major drive of this story line!
