An Invitation to a New Life
How many people are their own worst enemies, doing whatever they can to jinx their lives? There is a divine fix for that. A person only has to accept a huge change in his life. Getting to that point is the darkness; dawn is the acceptance.
Wonderful read! The Swanns are good writers. There were so many characters that it was a little confusing to remember each of their stories. I received the book for free.

The ending that wasn't
I would love to give this entire series a 10 however the way the 3rd and final book ended was definitely a cliffhanger and a very confusing ending. Putting that aside,I would have to say that this was one of the most enjoyable book series I read this year. It tops my list

hearts and lives changed
This book was full of things to think about! We saw with one man, the result of what happens when someone accepts an invitation. We saw some major Heart changes. Then, we saw someone’s dream come true with an outrageous twist. I am really enjoying this series!

Excellent series
A phenomenal job writing this series. All I want to do is read more of these a mmm swing Christian tales tied into forgiveness. A charming well written series that leaves you begging for more and a quench that is not easily sated.

I think this book could be classified non fiction with all its life experiences. I wouldn't mind receiving one the invitations. A good read that I enjoyed and found inspiring. The author obviously has a lot of wisdom under her belt and shares it well. Thanks Alexandra Swann.

This b was another excellent story about people being given an invitation to begin a new life. They have a deadline in which to accept the invitation and begin their new life.
