Commited to building his new church, dynamic young preacher Paul Hudson loses sight of the purer intentions of his ministry and struggles to choose between his own will and God''s plan.

Toe Paul Hudson aanvaar het om leraar van ’n sukkelende kerk te word, het hy nie geweet wat om te verwag nie. Hy het gehoop hy kan God behaag met sy planne en harde werk. En so het Paul en sy gesin ingepak en getrek om die Here se werk te gaan doen. Dit het Paul nie lank geneem om Centerville Christelike Kerk reg te ruk nie. Die bywoning het toegeneem, die koor het lede bygekry en die kinderprogram se bywoning was die beste in jare. Alles het goed gegaan. As sy vrou dit maar net wou insien. En tog het hy nie toegelaat dat haar swye hom steur nie ... In EN DIE RAMSHORING HET GEBLAAS lees ons van die verskillende maniere waarop mense dink God met hulle praat asook hulle reaksies daarop. Paul Hudson was vasbeslote om sy kerk op te bou, maar teen watter prys? Soos sy geesdrif en ambisie groei, vergeet hy van die Een wat hom geroep het. Hy ontdek dat die pad na prestige, welvaart en mag dikwels besaai is met trots en maklik na die verderf kan lei. Terwyl Paul en diegene om hom probeer onderskei wat dit beteken om werklik hulle geloof uit te leef, moet hulle kies tussen die wil van mense en dié van God.

1875 Acesta perioada istorica si acest gen de povesire constituie punctul forte al lui Francine Rivers si straluceste de la un capat la celalalt. — Josh Olds, Lifeisstory.com Cand Kathryn Walsh soseste in neinsemnata Calvada, un oras minier cuibarit in muntii Sierra Nevada, indragostirea este ultimul lucru la care se gandeste. Ea, o sufrageta exilata din New England, si el, un fost soldat al Uniunii dezmostenit de familia sa, ajung in orasul de frontiera din California, unde isi unesc nu doar fortele, ci si inimile pentru a-l salva. Alungata de bogatul sau tata vitreg, Kathryn Walsh a ajuns sa revendice o mostenire de la unchiul pe care nu l-a cunoscut niciodata: un ziar falimentar de pe o strada plina de bordeluri si saloane si o mina aparent fara valoare. Miscata de opresiunea minerilor locali si a familiilor acestora, Kathryn decide sa relanseze ziarul unchiului ei, dar se trezeste in mijlocul unui vartej, infruntata de cei mai puternici oameni din Calvada. Insa Kathryn nu are de gand sa se dea batuta, mai ales ca stia ca are dreptate. Matthias Beck, proprietarul unui salon si al unui hotel local, stie prea bine cat de periculoasa poate fi tenacitatea lui Kathryn; desi avea dreptate in privinta problemelor orasului Calvada, indrazneala ei i-ar putea fi fatala. Iar domnisoara Walsh nu-i era chiar indiferenta chipesului Matthias, asa ca isi urmeaza chemarea inimii, caci lumea poate cauta sa se imbogateasca in acest oras in plina expansiune, dar este o dragoste mai pretioasa decat aurul care ii va salva pe toti in cele din urma. Francine Rivers a avut o cariera de succes ca scriitoare timp de mai multi ani inainte sa devina o crestina practicanta, in 1986. Aceasta schimbare majora din viata ei a determinat-o sa publice, in 1991, Rascumparata prin iubire, cartea pe care a denumit-o „declaratia ei de credinta“. De atunci, Francine a publicat numeroase romane crestine bestsellere, cu care a cucerit admiratia scriitorilor si loialitatea cititorilor. Romanele ei au fost premiate sau nominalizate la numeroase distinctii, iar in 1997, dupa ce a castigat al treilea premiu RITA pentru fictiune motivationala, Francine a fost inclusa in Hall of Fame – galeria scriitorilor de fictiune din America. In 2015, ea a primit premiul pentru intreaga cariera. Romanele lui Francine au fost traduse in peste treizeci de limbi si au capatat statutul de bestsellere in multe tari din toata lumea. Ea si sotul ei locuiesc in California de Nord si se bucura de timpul petrecut cu copiii si nepotii lor mari. In ce priveste pasiunea ei pentru scris, Francine a transformat-o intr-o modalitate de a-L glorifica pe Isus pentru tot ceea ce El a facut si face in viata ei.
