Book 3 of the True Love Series
When Ben and Tessa return from their holiday to New Zealand without Jayden, his absence takes a toll on them both, and Tessa is concerned Ben will slip back into depression if he doesn’t hear from his son soon.
They know they should trust God to bring Jayden home, but how do they live in the meantime? Reminders of Jayden are everywhere. A visit to Stephanie, Tessa’s best friend, gives Tessa an idea that she believes is from God, and will eventually take her and Ben half-way around the world. But will it help bring Jayden back?
Meanwhile, Jayden thought life would be better with his mother, but when reality sets in, he’s faced with difficult decisions. Will the lessons his father taught him, help him follow the right path?
"Real issues, real solutions. I've read every book in this series so far, and can't wait for the next. I love that it deals with real life issues and shows that healing and changes take time (too often we look for quick fixes.) This book, is an excellent read in fact, I've read it twice in anticipation for the next. A newly wed couple, a teenage stepson and an ex wife. It will definitely take the love of God to make it all work. i highly recommend this book." Val N
Triumphant Love
Book 4 of the True Love Series
Having received a letter from Jayden after their arrival home from Ecuador, Ben and Tessa had hoped he’d be on his way home soon, but concerns about Jayden’s growing attachment to the young, beautiful Angela Morgan make them wonder if he’ll ever be prepared to leave her and come home to them. They have no choice but to pray and wait.
Meanwhile, Jayden falls deeper in love. He attaches himself to Angie’s family, who have problems of their own in the form of an unexpected pregnancy. Jayden is amazed at how Angie’s parents handle what could be every parent’s worst nightmare in a loving, caring, non-judgmental way.
As Jayden’s sixteenth birthday is celebrated on both of sides of the world, changes are afoot. Jayden has started attending a Bible Study run by Angie’s youth group, and although he’s interested, he needs proof God is real and is determined not to get caught up in any of the emotion. Will he tell her the truth about himself, even if it means he might lose her?
Kathryn goes from bad and worse, but Jayden never expected to see her on the headlines of the news. What has his mother done?
Although they’d rather Jayden was home, Tessa and Ben make the most of their time alone prior to the birth of their baby, but when Tessa is rushed to hospital and Ben is unable to be contacted, all Tessa can do is pray.
“Couldn't put this down! Wonderful conclusion to book series. I love how Jayden' s relationship with the Lord is discovered. His love for his girlfriend and her family, his growth and maturity. All the suspense with his mom and the love and forgiveness. It was just such a joy to read and I really love how the story unfolds.... I won't give it away. You must read this book!" Paula
