Tempest Tossed: Angels Among Us

by Terri Reid

Ruth and Deborah were among the chosen—disciples of Jesus Christ who followed him throughout his ministry. When the time came, after his resurrection, for Jesus to give a special blessing to his disciples, they both asked for the same to be allowed to stay on earth, sharing his gospel until he returns.
Ruth and Deborah are sent to the small town of Husk, Iowa, because a young boy, Chase Dunleavy, prayed for help for his family. Three years ago, a tornado swept through the town, causing destruction and despair. The aftermath of that day continues to affect his family.
Deborah and Ruth are there to help some of the survivors understand they have not been forgotten and to prepare them for the next storm headed their way. But will their message reach them in time to prevent future sorrow? And will they both learn something about themselves as they serve others?

One of the best books I've read in a long time. I could barely make myself put it down before it was finished. I hope this is the beginning of a new series. I rate it 5 stars.
