Description
Thinking about how much God loves us, how patient He is, how slow to anger, I got the notion to write about second chances, the ones we should offer to others and the all-important second chance Jesus provided for us all, nailed up on that cross. What follows are three novellas, each exploring the concept of second chances, but otherwise unconnected. In one, a couple rekindles their high school romance. Another explores two broken people who need to accept God's healing in order to commit to each other. Finally, an older couple must overcome a crisis in their marriage just in a time of their lives when they should be powerful forces for spreading God's goodness. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed telling them. Read them in whatever order you like, but please read them with the concept of forgiveness in mind.His Last ChanceLife happens to Dakota, just like everyone else. So, when she finally finds a best friend and even a handsome boyfriend, it's no surprise when Dakota's dad announces that the military family must move yet again. Separated by thousands of miles and by Dakota's dream to study at an Ivy League school, her friendship survives, but not her first love. Now, eight years later, Dakota is building her career and reconnecting with her long-distance best friend. Even though she is back in Texas, the last person she expects to see is her first boyfriend, Daniel. The very very last thing she considers is that the retired pro football player might remember her, even better yet want to talk to her. Will Dakota find the courage and the forgiveness she needs to let love in?FreefallDee Culperson and Tank Brand could not be more different. She's petite and full of energy. He's a giant with a brooding demeanor. But the two share an invisible thread of loss and pain that has caused them to turn away from God. Can these two, wonded souls help each other understand God's love for them? Will finding each other help them discover the true nature of God when it comes to tragedy? That only through Jesus may the world be overcome? No Second Chances Teddy and Sandra Pike should have everything they need. After more than twenty years of marriage and ministry, they finally lead a church body that has the potential to grow to mega-status. But have they lost something more important than the earthly treasure of a large building along the way? When Teddy starts spending more time with his young assistant, Kate, than with Sandra, his wife, the fissures that husbands and wives can turn into cracks begin to appear. Has their marriage been left untended for too long? Will they realize seeking first God's forgiveness will help them forgive each other?
