The Interlude by Lin Stepp

Delightful

The Interlude by Lin Stepp is the most delightful contemporary Christian novel and part of the Smokey mountain series. I loved it.

The Interlude is a book that you do not so much read as experience. I longed to jump inside its pages. With full descriptions Lin Stepp paints pictures of both landscape and characters enabling the reader to ‘walk’ through the novel.

The characters were wonderfully drawn with realistic flaws and hang ups. They are warm and welcoming, opening their arms to encompass the reader. We travel alongside them as their companion.

Claire At Edisto by Lin Stepp

Do Your Best And Trust God For The Rest

Claire At Edisto by Lin Stepp is the most delightful and heart-warming Christian tale that will leave you smiling. It is the first book in the Edisto trilogy and I cannot wait for the next two books.

This is a beautiful family novel that deals with loss – a sudden loss that leaves a young widow with two daughters aged five and nine. These young girls are wise beyond their years. “Don’t cry to say goodbye to Daddy’s grave. He’s not there anymore.” Their faith is infectious and catching.

The Artist And Builder Of Our Lives

 

Lost Inheritance by Lin Stepp is the most delightful contemporary Christian romance which I absolutely loved.

The reader is reminded that unless we build our lives on the sure foundation of His word, our lives will be built on shifting sand. Likewise, God is the artist of all our lives. Sometimes we try to ‘fake it’, but God sees the original us.

All the characters are wonderfully drawn and exude warmth. They are realistic too, having less than perfect tempers.
