The Glory : Prequel to The Glory Series
The Glory is a survivor story in a contemporary Christian romance series. A cowboy romance story about a professional bull rider and a lawyer. This inspirational romance series is a western romance about family, friendships of women, overcoming anxiety, PTSD, adversity and forgiveness involving a billionaire and a secret pregnancy.
The Glory Series Prequel is the story of Samantha Elroy. She was rescued. Survived what other girls did not and she doesn't like to talk about it. That was then. Now she is working as an attorney, helping victims of crimes find justice. She's satisfied, settled and safe. So getting swept off her feet by a danger junky cowboy is totally out of the question. Honey Cooper could give an engaged girl a panic attack with his swaggering, slow talking charm. Not to mention his probing questions. And she's done with all that. So why does she keep thinking of Him? And why does God keep arranging circumstances so they find themselves together?
In a world where fear is a sin that paralyzes and thanksgiving is faith's courage to trust beyond what can be seen, The Glory is the victory we realize when holiness comes to expression.
For the once afraid victim doing the hard work of turning evil's wounds into victory's scars.
For the dangerous who fearlessly pursue God’s purposed plan.
For the suffering who long to experience God working out for them a weight of glory amidst these light momentary afflictions.
The Glory is the transformation story of how God deposits something of His moral beauty and majesty into the soul of a believer and how this holiness comes to light through thanksgiving in the metamorphosis.
A parable of how God is the saints’ glory and so they are His.
The Glory is the journey of the worm, wrapped in the substantial weight of affliction and grappling with the paradoxes of faith to emerge from the cocoon of oppression the transformed butterfly.
The Glory is the prequel of The Glory Series.
Reviewers agree that J.L Kelly Christian Romance series stories are raw, real, sometimes intense and might not be for readers who are looking for the classic "sweet" Christian story where characters do everything right and the story world is heavenly. Unapologetically the author's style is to write it real—meaning closer to real life, tackling issues with universal importance in a God honoring way by telling the truth in love. JL Kelly's characters will never be perfect but they will proclaim to you the love, grace and mercy of a perfect God.

About the author
J.L. Kelly
9 books3 followersJ.L. Kelly is an American speaker, Bible teacher & author of Christian novels that combine compelling story worlds with unforgettable characters in tremendously moving novels. Her writing is dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ in thanksgiving for the many relationships that have inspired, redeemed, sustained, challenged, encouraged and transformed the life God has invited her to humbly fulfill for His glory.
She believes words are powerful. “Writing is a great privilege and carries a responsibility with its creative expression. I pray for inspiration and the right amount of balance in creating deep and compelling characters in a story world that is authentic and yet hopeful. My books are founded on relationships—spiritual, friendships, and family and forged through the real and raw stories that take place as sinners are saved by grace and sanctified through the Word of truth.”
J.L Kelly's characters are connected from one book to the next. Ones you love will show up again in another story and like old friends, she hopes you're glad to see them. Ones you don't like might catch you judging them. Every good story needs an antagonist and we've all been that from time to time. We need grace for the proud and the hurting. She hopes you're open to changing your opinion of some of her 'bad guys' as they are transformed. We should never assume the arm of the Lord is too short to save any character. After all, we were all at one time that “character”.
Her mission is to share the Truth in love. Reviewers agree that J.L. Kelly books are sometimes intense and might not be for readers who are looking for the classic sweet Christian story where characters do everything right. Unapologetically her style is to write it real—meaning closer to real life, tackling issues with universal importance in a God honoring way. Her characters will never be perfect but they will proclaim to you the love, grace and mercy of a perfect God.
