Not So Far Away
Laurel Kerr lives each day fearing it could be her last. Years of pleading with God for deliverance from her husband’s deadly temper have convinced her that she’s beneath the Lord’s notice. Still, she perseveres, hoping that a redeemed husband and a Christ-centered marriage might one day be possible.

Dr. Boyd Wendall has a soft spot for Laurel. Although she’s not his to take care of, she stirs his protective instincts. Time and again he finds himself in the midst of her trouble, and he can’t help but believe there’s a reason for it.

When Laurel’s deliverance comes suddenly and unexpectedly, it raises questions about Boyd’s integrity, reopens wounds from his past, and leads to a trial the two cannot escape. Apart, they are just one man and one woman facing tribulation. Together, they’ll discover that God is not so far away.

Seventeen years ago, Ashley Turner lost her father as well as Manuel Vega, the man she loved. Since then, she's been trying to make the best of a bad situation. Now a widow, burdened with the alcoholic brother who bankrupted the family ranch, and days from foreclosure, she's beyond hoping for her situation to improve. Ashley knows God allows adversity for a reason, but she can't begin to comprehend the purpose in her troubles. 

When Manuel makes good on his promise to return after having been harshly turned out so many years ago, Ashley dares to hope that all is not lost. His intention is not to rescue her, however, but rather to pursue revenge for past wrongs. He soon discovers that his hardened heart is no match for her renewed hope.

That's the advice Job got from his wife, and it sounds good to Elaine Mallory.

As Elaine faces her grief for the first time since that tragic spring, will it reopen her heart to God's perfect shelter--and to Justin? Or will it drive her away again?
