Publisher's Summary:

In the tradition of Jan Karon, an inspiring story of six troubled people and the strength they find in each other and their faith.

Darrell Miller was running from the ugliness his existence had become, from the men who knew what he'd seen. He found refuge from his terror in the last place he expected - a church. With the kind of people he'd never known before, people whose lives would intertwine with his in a special and most unexpected way....

I Do Not Read Religious Fiction Books--I Did Not Read More Than a Few Paragraphs

The reason for the One Star rating is because after reading a few paragraphs I knew it was not a book I wanted to read. It is my opinion that a person's beliefs should be based on truth, not Religious fiction. I try not to read literature that can confuse or erode Biblical truths.

As an author, I like Bobbi Smith, owning several of her books, so I did not examine the books content--my mistake! A lesson well learned, as it cost me my one book I'm allowed to borrow from the Lending Library this month.

uplifting tale of faith lost and faith found

He was hoping to start over, but former convict Darrell Miller witnesses a horrible violent act that has him fleeing for safety with pursuers chasing him. He ducks inside a church seeking a respite and figure out what to do while a service is going on.

Pregnant Jenny Emerson will give birth in the next few weeks by herself. Her boyfriend Mark has rejected their child and consequently her. She sits in a pew praying for a miracle.

After thirty plus years together, Alan Pennington informs his wife Dorothy that he is leaving her for a younger woman. Stunned she feels deserted by one and all including God whom she always firmly worshiped.

Sixty-five years old Joe Myers is having doubts about God as everyday he reads about murders and rapes in the streets. As the violence rises, his beliefs fall.

These four lost souls have come together at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in need of miracles. What they get is each other but can they help each other gain a renewed faith in the goodness s of humanity?

This inspirational tale will provide plenty of solace to readers interested in an upbeat contemporary story. The issues seem monumental especially to the individuals confronted with them and Bobbi Smith does a superb job laying out the problems. However, the key characters and important secondary players are never fully developed so that the impact is somewhat abated. Still HAVEN is a fine uplifting tale of faith lost and faith found.

Harriet Klausner

Uplifting story about ordinary people

A first for veteran novelist Bobbi Smith, and the first in a new line of inspirational novels from her publisher, Haven is a contemporary, faith based story of the love and hope shared by ordinary people facing monumental issues in their daily lives.

Smith does a terrific job by plotting a fast-paced novel and crafting strong characters with real emotions. She is a fantastic storyteller who never fails to please. Lay down all your troubles and find a safe and glorious haven within the covers of her latest work of art. You'll be glad you did.

Fast Paced, yes, but a couple of tweaks

I found HAVEN to be, in some ways, fine and uplifting, since it spoke to faith lost and faith found in a group of people's lives, but since it was labeled "inspirational" I was disappointed to see unnecessary use of foul language.

Members Reviews:

Family

Do you tell one sister's secret to another sister in order to help the one? Emma does not know how to help Martha, so she finally tells Sarah and they both try to help.

This is a very short story, but I enjoyed it any way.

Peggy from St Louis

I've read all 7 books in the series and I can't wait to see how this series ends. I've truly enjoyed reading about the lives of Emma, Eli, Martha and Jarron. There were times where I had to quit reading, because the story was sad and I couldn't stop crying. (A definite sign that the Hannah Schrock had done a fabulous job getting the readers to immerse themselves into the storyline.) I look forward to reading her other series.

Great book

The secret Emma had to carry around is very hard for her. The loss of Eli is still so fresh in her mind.

BONTRAGER SISTERS ARE CONFUSING

Sarah is married to Jeremiah and two children and seem to be living a normal Amish life. Emma married Eli and he died young, and it looks like she loves the Englisher Jarron. He was supposed to be married and now he is divorced, and he goes to the Amish church and sits for three hours there he might as well be Amish. Now Martha is the real confused one, she goes and lives with an Amish man Eric, now she is back but she really does not want to see anyone or eat. Does she have a death wish. I feel like she really wanted Eli for a husband. I gave these stories combined as I bought them that way because it is the most confusing mixed up story of sisters I have ever read.

Return of the wanderer

A very short story, almost too short. It is good, but left me hanging too soon. I always like Hannah Schrock's stories.

Closure

Finally, after all this time Emma and Jarron are going to be together! Looks like all the Bontrager' s are back together and the loose ends are tied up.

My only complaint is that Hannah Schrock's short stories are too short! I love reading her stories and am always disappointed when they are done so quickly. A very good read and I would recommend it.

Great story

Jarron and Em are very special people. He has been there for her since her husband died. You won't be able to stop reading this book.

Peggy from St Louis

What a great way to end "The Amish Bontrager Sisters" series!! Mr. And Mrs. Bontrager and Martha have many fences to mend. The future for Emma and Barron looks sunny and bright.

LOVE IS SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND

What can I say Emma and Jarron were meant to be husband and wife. This is to short a story, but full of love.

Can he overcome her fears and win her heart?

River of Fire

This was a quick read and I wanted to find out how it ends. Even though this is fiction I think the reader will be surprised at how women were treated by "Christian" men in the Church at the turn of the century. Much like today, much of the Church was driven by money and leaders were subject to the temptations of the world. Women clearly had virtually no rights. The author writes skillfully and keeps the reader's interest.

New beginnings I

I thought this book was great. The situations that Victoria and then Adam found themselves in was not good at first. I was going to stop reading the book at first because it was so sad but I am so glad I finished it. Sometimes in life it seems like there is no way at all that good can come when the situation looks hopeless .

Very uplifting

Read this book within two days. Every time you thought things were looking up, something would happen. Their faith in God really showed through and reminds me that miracles do happen.

A very good read. I kept wondering why the author named ...

A very good read. I kept wondering why the author named the book "River of Fire. I got my answer in the book and was I surprised. You will also.,?

Suspense in Big City Church

"River of Fire" by Darrell Case, is a tale of Christian living in the 1880's. A young pastor, Adam Wakefield, from Apple Valley, Arkansas is offered a pastorate at the largest church in Chicago.

Adam's chance meeting with a member of the Chicago Market Street Church, leads to this offer. Though Adam loves his small church and his congregation in Apple Valley, he feels God's leading for him to accept this most exceptional opportunity.

Adam has no idea what big city life entails. Nor has he been exposed to the crime, corruption, downright evil he will find himself embroiled in once in Chicago. He finds both friends and enemies in this suspense-filled tale.

I loved this book. I could hardly put it down. It is a story of suspense, drama, romance, faith, the love of Jesus as well as of the power of the Holy Spirit and redemption.

I hope there will be a sequel!

I was provided a copy of "River of Fire" in exchange for my honest review.

Publisher's Summary:

Rayne Adams loves Christmastime. While shopping for a Christmas tree, she runs into a love from the past. With a possible new love forming on the horizon, will the past continue to haunt her or will she be able to let it go and move on? Or is there room in her heart for her former love?

A very sweet story of love and second chances 3 1/2

Rayne Adams was devastated when her fiance walked-out three years ago with no explanation. She's just now starting to recover. Although the holidays will find her alone, she decides she will make it a joyful time. While out shopping for the perfect tree for her apartment she runs into the last person she ever expected to see. Justin Thomas made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked out on Rayne. He longs to explain why he did it but Rayne isn't sure she wants to hear it. Besides, someone else is showing an interest in her. Despite her best efforts, Justin still tugs at her heart. Can Justin convince Rayne to listen to the reason he left and that he still wants a future with her? Will Rayne be able to forgive him and accept him back or will her heart be drawn in a new direction?

While looking for books I ran across this one and really liked the cover. It looked like a cute Christmas story and so I give it try. It was a very sweet story of love and second chances. The characters are likable folks and easy to get to know. I really like what Justin's uncle once told him, "Worrying about the past will keep you in bondage. And fretting about the future will stop the joy of living for today." Wise advice. Especially profound because Justin had a past. It was a good reminder that just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you don't have to deal with the consequences of past choices. But God can make beauty from the ashes. Isn't that great! One part I thoroughly enjoyed about the book was the ending! It was a lot of fun and very romantic! If you're looking for a quick, easy-to-read Christmas story then Christmas Rayne just might be in your forecast!

Delightful Christmas love story!

Almost all of my preparation for Christmas is done, and I needed something to read to prepare my spirit for the celebration. This story of forgiveness and restoration of relationships reminded me of God's great Gift of His only Son, who came to reconcile us to Himself.

Very good

Very good book, a little mystery to it in waiting to find out why Justin left her. Love the names Rayne and Sunshine.

Would recommend to everyone.

Heartfelt

I enjoyed reading this book very much. It gave me hope for what my daughter Allison may find one day when she is waiting for someone to walk into her life. It also made me wish my mom was here to see this happen.

Very satisfying

Very cute story. Very short but it was very satisfying!

Extremely suspenseful!

Always enjoy this author's books, with so much suspense & twists and turns. Totally engrossing. Listened to this book in one sitting! Couldn't stop until the end. Really good!

Takes a killer to catch a killer!!! What a ride!!!

I love ALL the Lost series books so far but THIS one is my absolute favorite so far. The character development is flawless! Jax is an awesome hero with New Orleans swagger and charm and just the right amount of danger. And Sara is smart, a little dark herself and definitely a perfect heroine and a great match for Jax. This book has it ALL! Action, drama, secrets, monsters, and the right amount of sweltering heat between the sheets... I couldn't stop listening!!!

Absolutely addictive until the end!

I had not read the first two books in this series, but I will now. I would like to have a follow up "short book" to see how the couple makes their relationship work.

She ran from her past once before, but this time will she have the strength to fight back?

A BEAUTIFULLY PACED & SIGH-WORTHY LOVE STORY

Harper has been through Hell and is now a living shell of what she once was... after the abuse, the heartbreak, the blood and the scars that were all dished out to her by her crazed ex boyfriend. She is reminded daily by the physical scars that his angry handwork left behind but now, 4 years later, Harper wants to change that and her dream is to have a full back tattoo done by the talented Celebrity Tattoo Artist the handsome, sexy and charismatic Trent Andrews whose skills might just cover up the physical reminder. But can she overcome all the emotional torment that'll come with it because Harper can't physically cope with being touched and will Trent be willing, or able, to take on the challenge. So, courage in hand, she walks into his shop... but nerves, shyness, trepidation, anguish and fear accompanies her.

Trent has seen the beautiful yet haunted looking woman before and he's lusted and called out to her but she's never acknowledges him but then she walks in and blows him away by her vulnerability, her inner strength and her emotional heart felt request. But what really pulls him in is the brutal words that have been carved into her back and that tells him so much about the bravery and courage of the woman that is there ready to face so much pain and turmoil in order to be free. However, it isn't until he slowly hears Harper's heartbreaking story, through hours and hours spent under his tattoo gun, that he becomes totally entranced and vows to change this emotionally damaged (but not broken) woman.... and in doing so Trent changes their futures too.

What a beautiful and touching love story this is as Trent slowly, patiently, carefully and lovingly transforms, not only Harper's back, but also her whole demeanour as his tender touches and heartfelt words slowly penetrates and transforms, not only Harper's mind and spirit, but also her heart too. There was a great connection between them from the very start which resulted in banter, a slow seduction that was so sweetly, skilfully and sensually achieved. Then came a deep understanding, trust and acceptance followed by passion, romance, steam, angst, suspense and drama as Harper's ex is released from Prison meaner, crazier and more vengeful than ever before and he isn't going to stop at just taunting, scaring and scarring Harper. No, his retribution is far more sinister.
