Has your church ever held services in an alternate location?<\/strong><\/p>\nI loved this book! One reason why I loved it so much is because the hero, Knox, owns a bar. You don’t find that in Christian fiction very often. I felt this book was so realistic – the characters sparkle and come to life in this wonderful book!<\/p>\n
Eden is a widowed pastor’s wife. She’s raising her young son alone and their church has just been burned to the ground. While waiting for their church to be rebuilt, they need to find a place to hold services. The local bar is the only place big enough to house all of the church’s members.<\/p>\n
The bar is owned by Knox, Eden’s deceased husband’s best friend. Knox has never been Eden’s favorite person – he’s worldly, plus, she’s always been attracted to him. When she asks if the church can temporarily use his bar as a meeting place, he’s hesitant. Knox has always been attracted to Eden, but, she was off-limits since she was married to his best friend. Plus, Eden doesn’t approve of his worldly ways.<\/p>\n
Knox, a former hockey player, doesn’t know what he should do. If Eden knew his secret, she’d run for the hills and never speak to him again. Can he be truthful to her, and, can he learn to forgive himself for his sins?<\/p>\n
You should read this endearing book for the holidays! This novella is a great Christmas treat!<\/p>\n
So, has your church ever met in an alternate location? Where else has your church held services?<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Christmas](\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/iStock-519404147.jpg\")
