Book 4 - Grace in the Desert
Must yesterday’s pain strangle tomorrow's hope?
Rachel Macdonald is learning how to navigate the unfamiliar new world of being a Christian.
Her father rejected her years ago. Now he claims to be a new man. Surely God can't expect her to forgive him? Forgiving feels like a denial of all the pain and suffering he caused.
Will Rachel remain bound by anger and hurt, or embrace the future God has planned?
Past tragedy almost overwhelmed Pete Klopper. Now he's taken over the family nursery it could be the fresh start he hopes for. But only If his past doesn't drag him down.
For Pete, the hardest person to forgive is himself.
Book 5 - Grace Beneath the Frost
Professional success. Personal failure.
As a respected cancer specialist, Paul Webster knows what he's doing. At least, he does at work. His home life's another story.
Now he's been thrown into a spin by a patient's death and her unshakeable confidence in life beyond the grave.
He’s always dismissed Christians as simplistic fools but this woman didn't fit his stereotype. What if there is truth beyond what he can learn with lab tests and logic? And what will checking out that truth cost him?
Book 6 - Grace Across the Miles
How can you belong when you don't know who you are?
Gina Reid is surrounded by people getting married or having babies. She's under pressure to settle down but how can she do that when she doesn't even know where she came from? Since the startling revelation that she was adopted, it's felt like there is something missing. But fear has kept her from searching for her biological parents.
What if learning the truth is worse than not knowing?
Now an overheard comment has propelled her into action. Can Gina find out who she truly is? Or will she discover that some secrets are best left undisturbed?
If you like compelling Christian fiction, relatable characters, and real emotion, then you'll love Christine Dillon's inspiring series.

These final books of the Grace Series will challenge you to look at life's issues through the eyes of others and through a lens of faith that we all should focus our lives through. We hear the stories of a doctor who struggles with his role of saving patients while his own life is in shambles because of choices he has made. Book 5 will battle the difficult emotions that follow abortion and the healing that can be found on the other side, with God's help. And the finale deals with adoption.

These are great stories...these stories inspire me about the way God works in the lives of people who are broken and hurt from life's circumstances and how He brings healing and gives them a new start.

Very readable series about real life situations in an Australian setting. Challenged me to face some of the hard-to-grapple with issues.
