Convicted

by Raven H. Price

This book was previously published as The Conversion (Book 1 of the Harvesting Machine Trilogy). Convicted (Book 1 of the Paradigm Shift Trilogy) begins the story by explaining how after being beaten and emotionally bruised by two ex-husbands, Hope Anderson seeks the comfort she once felt within her family church. Upon her first visit back, she sits on the last row to secure her anonymity. Desperate to find comfort and acceptance, Hope felt judgmental eyes instead. Regularly plagued by fear and paranoia, Hope seeks counsel and finds it through a female evangelist on television. The woman's depiction of love and her explanation of a spiritual journey prompts Hope to ask God for the same. He grants her request. Hope is taught how to pray effectively because of her journey with the Holy Spirit. With intercession, Hope is also granted supernatural gifts of spiritual sight and hearing. She faces demons bravely through her faith in the Holy Spirit to help others. When Hope's journey is over, she does not turn her back on her church or on her colleagues at work. Convicted, she boldly stands and fights for them using her superpowers. It is through this process that Hope learns to love herself and other people and to forgive. Living happily with her Lord, Hope is faced once again with what caused her immense fear and paranoia. The fight for her life begins, and it is the worst physical and spiritual battle imaginable!

I admit I read book 3 first, but this series can be read as a series or stand alone books. The author writes an emotional, spiritual story that readers will enjoy. Hope Anderson is a character readers can love and cheer on as she struggles with the hard times life hands out. If you haven't read a book by this author, head to her page, no matter which you choose, you will find an amazing read.

Hope is a twice divorced woman, abused and battered by her last husband. Unhappy. Wants more out of life, but tired of the dating scene and one night stands. After hearing a female evangelist on TV, Hope wants more of that kind of good information. Knowing she has no desire to marry again, she decides to explore her relationship with God. God is overjoyed and responds. And that is what this wonderful story is all about. God, forgiveness, growth and love. I loved this book and look forward to reading more. I highly recommend this book!
