Blue Moon Promise by Colleen Coble
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I knew from the beginning that this book was going to be right up my alley, but I have no idea just how good it would be! I have never read any books by Colleen Coble, but I can safely say that if this book is indicative of her writing, I plan to read many more books by her!
I am a sucker for a sweet, romantic, historical novel, and when faith in Christ is woven so expertly into the framework of the story, I am hooked. The author also added in a little mystery and potential danger. The book’s conclusion even took me by surprise to a degree.
The characterizations in the book were fantastic. Lucy captured my heart along with Jed and Elaine. I can identify with her to a degree. I often expect way too much out of myself, and I sometimes feel like I have to prove my worth. There are times that I get into that mistaken way of thinking, and I expect more of myself than anyone around me does. Including God. Ned was a great character to get to know, and it was so wonderful to see how God changed all of them in miraculous ways.
I am racking my brain, trying to think of something that could have improved this book. Perhaps the conclusion was a little briefer than I would have preferred, but who knows? Perhaps the author will write a sequel. You can always hope!
If you are looking for a Christian historical novel that will renew and confirm your belief that God loves us just as we are and He cares about everything in our lives, this is a book for you!
I was provided with a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated in any way, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
