Synopsis
Charley knew what God wanted from
her. She was willing to trust and obey as she protected the others in the bank.
Then He would save her from her captor.
There was no way she could have
anticipated the rage that would be unleashed in response to her prayers and her
faith in God.
Raider was desperate, hardened, and
his past had set the stage for an insane game of survival and spiritual
warfare. The vendetta was in motion and Charley discovered that she needed her
God to provide extraordinary miracles to keep her alive.
My
Thoughts:
What makes
one person feel that people are on the wrong track when they start talking
about God? What can we do to help
them find the path to God? Read
Karen’s book to find out what a difference one person can make.
Once I started
reading this book I had difficulty
putting it down. We are introduced
to a scenario we see too often on the news. A robbery gone bad and hostages taken. In Raider’s Vendetta we meet God
fearing Charley, an elderly woman who finds herself one of the hostages. When things go wrong the second robber
takes hostages. Charley decides to
call him Raider because of his baseball cap. She feels God’s presence even in this situation. She comforts and helps the other
hostages. Raider is able to think
on his feet. He plans his
escape. He will need one
hostage. God makes it clear to
Charley that she should be the one.
From this point on in the book the reader is treated to one suspenseful
even after another. Charley is
tested beyond what most people could endure. God sends a protector and miracle after miracle. How far will God allow things to
go? Will Charley be able to make a
difference in Raider’s life? Will
either of them survive?
This is a
must read book. My daughter came
in to pick up her kids and took one look at the tears running down my cheeks
and asked, “Good Book?” to which I replied, “No, Great Book!”
This is a
book I will reread again because I know there are lessons I can learn about my
walk with God. I loved the way
Karen brought in a character from her first book. I am honored that she asked me to review her book. This is so good. I believe it would make an excellent
movie.
Check out
Karen’s website where you can order her book and watch her book trailer. This is one book that should be in
every Christmas stocking.
Thank you Sandra for such a wonderful review. I really wanted to push the envelope with the tough questions that are thrown at Christians. Questions that even test Christian's own faith. It was so fun writing a really mean character! Worries me a little that I could come up with some of the things he said and did. Teased my husband that he better watch out.
