Family Fruits of Faith #2

The Art of Messing Up

Rate this book
When Kurt becomes summer manager at J. Blake Acres, he can’t stop himself from hiring Shannon. In spite of being crazy about her, he struggles to make good management decisions and nearly gets her killed as a result. Shannon is forgiving, though, especially when she makes Kurt her confidant about her mom’s secretive past.

After a summer getaway gone wrong proves how much Kurt has changed, Shannon decides to give him a chance. Neither is expecting him to mess it up. But when he does, Shannon goes to college with a broken heart, determined to forget Kurt as she digs deeper into her mom’s complicated history. Nursing his own self-inflicted wounds, Kurt sets out to make amends for never-ending past mistakes.

Can Shannon entrust her mom’s eternal future with God? Will she let God heal her heart? And is Kurt’s new faith deep enough for him to believe he’s forgiven in spite of the messes he’s made?

Shannon’s legacy

Although Shannon’s family seemed to have a long line of messes, including her own, she was able to get through so many challenges in God’s strength, while leading so many others to Him. We don’t often see how our faithfulness pays off in the end, but if we don’t give up, God will work amazing miracles in and through us. But I want to know what happens with Kurt!
