Sometimes, just when you least expect it, life hands you a do-over...

she became richer than ever

Sometimes in order for a person to live the life God has for them, what they hold dear might have to be taken away. It’s not every person who gets a do-over like that, and only God knows the amazing changes it will bring about in a person’s life! Very well done!

loved it!

I was born into a Christian family, and raised in church. This book increased my faith and understanding of it. Keep writing. We need more beautiful stories such as this.

This book is as good as the first!


Book 5 helps bring together many of the people I met in the first 4 books. I have liked each book but so far #1 and #5 are my favorites. I would recommend a person read all these books in order even though each can stand on it's own.

Another excellent book

This book was just as good as the previous four books were and I enjoyed it very much. You should go read all five of them yourself.

Book #5, I enjoyed them all. Getting an invitation to a new life, Jesus gives us an invitation to a New Life in Him also.
