Publisher's Summary:

"It's true what they say, you know: If you talk to God, you're religious; but if you hear from God, you're schizophrenic."

When a car accident leaves a famous movie star in a coma, nurse Kemp McAvoy thinks he has found his ticket to the life he's always wanted. As a med school dropout who was on his way to becoming an anesthesiologist, Kemp has the knowledge to carry off the crazy plan he concocts: adjust the star's medication each night and pretend to be a heavenly visitor giving her messages. He recruits her agent and a down-and-out publisher to make sure the messages will become the next spiritual bestseller and make them all rich. But his girlfriend's daughter, Leah, keeps telling people that she is seeing angels, and her mother and her teachers are all afraid that something is wrong. Before it's all over, they'll all learn a few things about angels, love, and hope.

Loved this book!

Would you consider the audio edition of Wonders Never Cease to be better than the print version?

It's always good to have a "voice" to go along with the characters. It makes it more real.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book. And, Audible needs to offer more Tim Downs book to us!

A winner

A great book with good characters. A mixture of Gordon Korman humor with a Mary Higgins Clark feel good story. Cheesy... Yes but sometimes life needs a good cheesy novel to relax and laugh.

Unexpectedly Entertaining

What made the experience of listening to Wonders Never Cease the most enjoyable?

The story, first of all. Good balance of drama, intrigue and humor. Storyline was pretty tight, and it had just the right amount of characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Emmet and oddly enough Olivia. Emmet, since he becomes the unsung hero and Olivia because she's the target of this swinish scheme and her reactions are very humorous.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were a couple:

Bobby acting as the angel.

Any scene where Emmet is involved.

Olivia in the talk shows.

Bobby in the book signing line.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when Emmet laid down the law about putting words in God's mouth.

Any additional comments?

Tim Gregory - is the other major element that makes this audiobook very worthwhile. His ability to switch between character is almost seamless. The man's got talent, a lot of it!

Tim Downs has impressed me twice now with the Shoofly Pie and this story. I've actually ordered 2 more of this books as a result - Head Games and Plague Maker as they are more my kind of genre - suspense/thriller.

Mr. Downs, please try to get more of your books converted to audio and please try to get Tim Gregory to narrate them. If you do, you certainly have my business!

Could be a fun family film

Which scene was your favorite?

The Americana line scene was a perfect use of irony.

Who was the most memorable character of Wonders Never Cease and why?

Kemp was a little too self-centered to believe, but I still enjoyed getting into his narcissistic mind and watching him trip over his own ego.

Any additional comments?

This could be a great family film. The book reads like a movie. The book narration is outstanding.

Publisher's Summary:

She loves the land. Mattie Evans grew up in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Although her family has lost their ranch, she still calls this land home. A skilled young veterinarian, she struggles to gain the confidence of the local ranchers. Fortunately, her best friend and staunchest supporter is John McCray, owner of the Lightning M Ranch. They both love the ranch, and can't imagine living anywhere but in the Flint Hills. He's haunted by it.

Gil McCray, John's estranged son, is a pro football player living in California. The ranch is where his mother died and where every aspect of the tallgrass prairie stirs unwanted memories of his older brother's fatal accident. Gil decides leaving the ranch is the best solution for his ailing father and his own ailing heart. But he doesn't count on falling in love. Falling in love isn't an option. Or is it?

When Mattie is called in to save a horse injured in a terrible accident, she finds herself unwillingly tossed into the middle of a family conflict. Secret pain, secret passions, and secret agendas play out against the beautiful landscapes as love leads to some unexpected conclusions about forgiveness and renewal.

Members Reviews:

I liked this one quite a bit.

This was a great read - the author did a super job of developing both the characters and the plot. The fact that I got this free from Amazon for my Kindle was a real plus.

My synopsis:

Gil McCray left home for 20 years in order to escape the guilt he felt for having betrayed his older brother, Frank, the night Frank was killed by a drunk driver. Gil went on to become a famous quarterback for the NFL San Francisco 49ers. Then his horse Dusty was injured badly in an accident caused by a drunken driver, bringing Gil back home to Kansas where he met the female veterinarian Mattie Evans, who'd be in charge of trying to heal Dusty. Mattie's sister Jenna was the girl with whom Gil had betrayed his brother 20 years ago, but they (Mattie and Jenna) were nowhere alike. On his second trip home, Gil stayed a longer time, got to know Mattie and found he more than liked her; but she didn't like his lifestyle nor the fact that he was unwilling to live in his old home town, which Mattie loved. It took meeting Jenna again, learning why he had so many issues with his dad and facing his feelings about that night twenty years ago before Gil could really know what he wanted to do with his life.

Members Reviews:

A great Christian story.

This book made me think hard about my life. It changed me for the better.

One of the best books I've read

What made the experience of listening to Wounded Healer the most enjoyable?

The way the focus of the book was on Chris who is flawed and broken. And how she was able to build on her strengths. The way it showed that there is hope and a new way and how it's within reach. The book reminded me of my own life and the people who reached out to me. It was a very touching book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Chris. Because she reminds me of me. Because she isn't perfect. You'l could feel her fear and anguish and doubt. Erin annoyed me a little at times being so perfect but also she was a compassionate friend to Chris. Scott made me so angry but I enjoyed that aspect of the story and the strain it put on their relationship. Very realistic that he and Chris would clash a lot even though both love Erin.

What does Reneé Raudman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I have read the book and listened and defiantly the emotion is more palpable when someone is acting the characters. The Character of Chris I could always hear in my head clearly but I did Come to understand and like Erin much more Hearing the voice acted out rather than my own interpretation. She seemed much more genuine in the audio book. In my own reading I think I projected a more condescending tone to her. So that changed the experience for me.

If you could rename Wounded Healer, what would you call it?

Unworthy

Any additional comments?

Great read. Christian fiction doesn't get as wide an audience as it deserves. Which is a shame because while the book was about God and the differenc he makes in a life and how he can heal etc the primary story for me was of friendship and not giving up on those you love. So in a way it's a shame the story is written behind the Christian message as it narrows the audience. A really great book that deserves more readers.

Members Reviews:

The 12th Book in the Series

Book 12, "The Cards" is the last book in the Forbidden Doors series. After 12 books, I will truly miss Becka, Scott, Ryan, Mom, and Susan.

In this particular book, Philip turns to a card reader (fortune teller) to help him solve his problems and try to figure out his future. But will Becka and Scott convince him to turn to Jesus instead? They use some powerful and awesome Bible verses for backup. These Bible verses are really encouraging and joyful.

Is the card reader a shady person? Or just mysterious? You will find out.

I think I found a flaw (but not enough to take away a star). I've never lived in California, but do people really have to wait until they are 18 before they decide which divorced parent they want to live with? At 18, they don't have to live with either parent. In all the states I'm familiar with, the children get to choose which parent they prefer to live with long before they are 18. But anyway, I found this interesting, but not very important.

In this awesome series, Becka and Scott (with Z's help) performed spiritual warfare and helped many people out of the darkness. In most of the books, they stayed in Crescent Bay, California. But in four of the books, they journeyed to Louisiana, Transylvania, Los Angeles, and New Mexico to fight the evil/dark powers.

I enjoyed the whole series. I gave 5 stars to each book, except for "The Undead" - the book with all the vampires and the movie-making. Even though I don't care for vampires, I could have tolerated them if it weren't for the movie-making. I despise movies - both watching them and listening to people rehearse their lines. This book had line rehearsing.

This was an awesome and encouraging series, and I deeply recommend it to any Christian.

The Cards. . .Really not as great. . .

I actually found book 12 to be disappointing.

The characters seem to be a bit more 'hip' to

pop culture/pop .references.

Becka and Scott seem to not be themselves, almost like you

packaged them to sell more books.

I'm no missionary or anything, but don't you think they'd still be

mentally stuck in the missionary field?(as they were in the 1st 10 books) Within days of coming back

from New Mexico it seems even their ISP has changed ! Even their lingo.

I'm about as social as Becka, and even *I* don't care to keep up w/ a lot of pop culture myself. Wouldn't you think missionary-kids be more focused on the Bible and spreading the word, not being so forgiving like they are. They seem TOO LIBERAL. Becka seems to have too much self-esteem. She used to be real and doubt herself. Now she's changed, it seems.

Oh - and how did Mr.

Couldn't Put It Down

I did have to put it down to feed my children, unfortunately; but I still got it all read in one day. What was it? Farraday Road by Ace Collins! The first half is very similar to a cozy mystery, but the second half started to evolve into a regular mystery. I think guy authors just can't keep their mysteries local. Seems like they have to expand them into a worldwide thing.

I was not able to predict what was going to happen, but I was not thrown out of whack by extremely complicated twists and turns. Both a plus for me.

I was introduced to the deputy first. In one chapter the author managed to let us know about her, her family, life, and beliefs. So when she went missing it was somebody I cared about. Lije Evan's character is revealed a bit slower, but in a good way. I love the humor of Janie who is dropped into the story 3/4 of the way through.

There is detective work, deception, train history, and folk lore. It all went together well. Bad news: The book does not end. I really thought it was going to have a bit more of a resolution. Good news: The next one is already out.Swope's Ridge (Lije Evans Mysteries)is available for purchase!

Farraday Road

The book was slow to win my interest. When I became engrossed in the storyline, I looked forward to finding out certain elements. Then, the writer pulled an immature trick on me and ended the book with "to be continued.....

Not nice, not professional, and not what I'd hoped for. I will not read the sequal because I no longer trust the author to satisfy my desires for a good read.

The author used too many unrealistic scenes that just don't happen that way.

Some of the characters were not believable for me. The book had it's moments, but not enough for me to read more of the author.

I am somewhat disappointed over all.

A Note From My Mother

Typically I read a book before purchasing a copy for my Mom but in the case with "Farraday Road" I did not. It had good reviews and she likes suspense so I thought this would be a good choice. She finished it last night and this is what she emailed me. Please keep in mind that my Mom is the sweetest thing and would never say anything to maliciously hurt my feelings:

"I COULD SCREAM!!

It is one thing to read a whole book and find out an ending that explains itself, as you know. But how about reading a whole book and in the end see these three words: TO BE CONTINUED ! !

I see that sometimes on a TV show that you didn't know was going to happen and go crazy but to do this at the end of a book ! ! ! ? ? ? ! ! !

I have mixed feelings on ordering the next book, SWOPE'S RIDGE.

I was disappointed with how the contest between the 2 men was ...

The spiritual aspects of the story line and the main character's struggles with faith are universal and ones I could relate to. The main character is looking for "Mr. Right" and has 2 men to "choose" from. Each possesses unique qualities and I think every Christian can relate to her struggle with the decision at some point in their lives. However, the story falls off a cliff near the end and just didn't make sense to me. I was disappointed with how the contest between the 2 men was portrayed. If you are ok with a good beginning and middle, and can skip over what I thought was a poorly created situation towards the end, then read the book. Otherwise, I would skip it. I would recommend "The One Who Waits for Me" by the same author. I read that one first and really enjoyed it, and that encouraged me to purchase this one.

5 stars

Great book, refreshing characters and the setting is very real to life. Thank you Ms. Copeland for such a great book. Look forward to more.

Quality good. Arrived as stated

Quality good. Arrived as stated.

Five Stars

I like everything Lori Copeland writes. She always has a good story.

A "must have" for my personal library

I read this book and then bought it because I enjoyed the story so much I wanted to read it more than once. My heart was touched by the stories of the women Katie cared for and the ministry she worked so hard to protect. And I loved the interplay between Katie and Sheriff Ben. I was rooting for the underdog from the very first.
