New York Times bestselling author Francine Rivers returns to the California frontier in this sweeping, romantic tale of a displaced New England suffragette, a former Union soldier disinherited by his Southern family, and the town they join forces to save. 1875. When Kathryn Walsh arrives in tiny Calvada, a mining town nestled in the Sierra Nevadas, falling in love is the farthest thing from her mind. Banished from Boston by her wealthy stepfather, she has come to claim an inheritance from the uncle she never knew: a defunct newspaper office on a main street overflowing with brothels and saloons, and a seemingly worthless mine. Moved by the oppression of the local miners and their families, Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle’s newspaper―and then finds herself in the middle of a maelstrom, pitted against Calvada’s most powerful men. But Kathryn intends to continue to say―and publish―whatever she pleases, especially when she knows she’s right. Matthias Beck, owner of a local saloon and hotel, has a special interest in the new lady in town. He instantly recognizes C. T. Walsh’s same tenacity in the beautiful and outspoken redhead―and knows all too well how dangerous that family trait can be. While Kathryn may be right about Calvada’s problems, her righteousness could also get her killed. But when the handsome hotelier keeps finding himself on the same side of the issues as the opinionated Miss Walsh, Matthias’s restless search for purpose becomes all about answering the call of his heart. Everyone may be looking to strike it rich in this lawless boomtown, but it’s a love more precious than gold that will ultimately save them all.

Dit is ’n boeiende verhaal wat in eg menslike terme weergegee word. Dit vertel van Hadassa se getrouheid aan haar Verlosser en Markus se soeke na God. Die boek spreek tot elke leser omdat hulle kan identifiseer met hierdie twee karakters se worsteling rondom hulle geloof en hulle liefde vir mekaar. In hierdie verhaal sal lesers opnuut ontdek wat dit beteken om na God se stem te luister. 'n Stem in Die Wind In ’n eeue oue kultuur skrikwekkend eenders as die hedendaagse moderne Amerika, veg ’n jong slavin om die behoud van die mense en die man wat sy liefhet. Verskeur deur haar liefde vir ’n aantreklike jong edelman probeer sy desperaat aan haar geloof in ’n lewende God vashou; ’n God wat sy glo hulle kan verlos van die verslawende mag van ’n dekadente Rome. Hierdie meesterlike en opwindende roman uit die pen van die gewilde skrywer Francine Rivers is bestem om tot die hart te spreek van elkeen wat dit lees. Die boodskap is een van waarheid en hoop in ’n wêreld vol leuens en wanhoop. So Seker as Wat Die Dag Breek So seker as wat die dag breek is die derde boek in die Merk van die leeu-reeks. Net soos die vorige twee boeke in die reeks, ’n Stem in die wind en ’n Eggo in die duisternis, neem hierdie boek die leser terug na antieke Rome en die vroeë jare van die Christelike kerk. So seker as wat die dag breek vertel die verhaal van Atretes en Rispa, die weduwee wat Atretes se seun uit sy verhouding met Julia versorg; ’n seun wat Atretes vir lank geglo het dood is. Hulle lewe en optrede open ons oë vir die vernietigende krag van woede, maar ook die wonderlike krag van vergifnis. Dit is ’n verhaal vol waarheid en hoop en dit dra die boodskap van God se onvoorwaarlike liefde. Hierdie is Christelike fiksie op sy beste.

Slegs Grace Moore, sy teësinnige nuwe assistent, weet hoe min hy regtig het. Maar Grace weet nie hoe haar baas in die geheim met sy duiwels stoei nie: deur geboue te teiken as die Bird, 'n berugte maar ongeïdentifiseerde graffiti-kunstenaar - 'n alter ego wat Roman se loopbaan kan verwoes en hom in die tronk kan laat beland. Soos Roman, worstel Grace ook met spoke en geheime van haar eie. Ná 'n rampspoedige huwelik haar lewe totaal van koers afgegooi het, het sy gesweer dat liefde nooit weer haar drome sal kniehalter nie. Maar soos sy die enigmatiese man agter die reputasie leer ken, is dit asof hulle gebroke stukke stadig inmekaar begin pas ... totdat iets onverwags gebeur wat die loop van hulle verhouding - en albei se lewe - onherroeplik onherroeplik verander. Die meesterstuk is ʼn splinternuwe liefdesverhaal deur bekroonde New York Times-topverkoper-outeur Francine Rivers wat jou herinner dat genade selfs die mees gebroke persoon in 'n onvolmaakte tog ongelooflike meesterstuk kan verander.
