With Tickets I highly recommend that you read Books 1 and 2 first. You want to make sure not to miss anything. This is a MUST READ series.
I absolutely love the cover of Tickets! After reading this story you'll understand why it fits so perfectly. It's breathtaking.
Of late, I've seem to be guided to reading specific books because they deliver an important message to me when I need it most to help me with life. I choke up thinking of this story and how this author touches me with her words.
With Maeve Christopher's Tickets, oh my word what an amazing read. Besides the cover, I was hooked as soon as I read...Lena Goodwin scribbled her desperate please, "God help me," on an old ticket stub and dropped it into the golden bowl. I've said this many times myself!
Some things mentioned in this story are exactly as I've felt. How did this author know that? That's a sign of an author connecting with readers!
A big take-away for me is that forgiveness helps ME. You should forgive someone for you not them.
While reading and after reading Tickets, EVERY night I try to remember to surrender all to God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus and all my spirit guides. I'd NEVER done that before! What an amazing thing to be able to do.
This story is full of wonderful characters that have become family to me. I so love them all. Tickets has love, friendship, action, faith, suspense, forgiveness, romance, acceptance, mystery, bittersweet moments and some surprises I sure didn't expect. A fantastic package of everything that will grab your heart and soul!
I don't know how this author comes up with these storylines, messages and songs but she surely has touched me deeply with The Golden Bowl Series. This is by far her best series. I want this series to continue, I don't want it to end. This series is way too important to me.
I truly hope everyone reads this series. It's absolutely an incredible journey this author takes you on.
Thank you Maeve Christopher for the gift of your writing.

Just when I thought her books could not get any better, Maeve Christopher produced “Tickets” . It is a beautiful story of love between two very flawed individuals who are both encumbered with an inordinate amount of baggage. Nate is a handsome hunk with commitment issues, and Lena is his technologically savvy ex-wife who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. She is trying to escape problems stemming from past indiscretions and from familial association with dark, dangerous dudes. But unfortunately for her, there is no escape. Her past and her present collide with disastrous consequences. As her life spirals out of control, Lena recognizes that she is surrounded by an army of angels who guard, guide and protect her.
The redemption of both Nate and Lena is facilitated by a family of billionaire philanthropists whose forgiveness, generosity of spirit and Christian charity help them rekindle their love for each other, and to turn their lives around. They both come to recognize the power of prayer and that God’s grace is sufficient to protect them from the evil machinations of their enemies, and from the the consequences of past transgressions over which they had no control. “Tickets” has all the ingredients of an enthralling story: intrigue, mystery, danger, drama, loyalty and love. This book is definitely a winner.....five stars without a doubt!

Five stars won't cover this book, I need a galaxy of them. "Tickets" is the best in Maeve's series yet. It Truly touched my Heart. Her main character in this book is a woman who believes she's nothing but a flawed failure and that she can do nothing right in her life. Leah has had nothing go her way since she was 4, and it's due to those circumstances that she choose the wrong path in her life so many times. Her path is now changing and she still has issues to correct and solve. She continually blames her self for everything and never looks to God for help or guidance . Through her job and a need for her Mom, she meets Cat in person and starts on a journey with a new path trying to believe in prayers and the help of the Holy Spirit . You will feel this story in your soul if you open your mind and heart to believe. Maeve provides Beautiful scripture that may be just what your soul needs too. Her story mirrors true life struggles for many. And provides you with the opportunity to exam your own life and faith. Prayers listed on tickets to save a life struggling to find her way.. And you will enjoy the love story and mystery with action blended into so well. Don't for get to read Book 1 & 2 also..

Maeve weaves a tale of past lies, past hurts, revenge and an opportunity to clean the slate. Lena has done things she's having trouble forgiving herself for. She's baffled by the forgiveness and welcoming spirit of the people she wronged. Could their spiritual beliefs be behind the outpouring of love and understanding? Was it all because she asked for God's help when she threw a ticket into the Golden Bowl?
Tickets is a wonderful mixture of forgiveness, encouragement, and trust.
