Adult and Young Adult Fiction
The Promise Series by Robert Wetmore
These Biblical fictions are the best I have read. Dr. Robert Wetmore uses the true Biblical narrative and then fills in the unknown parts to make an amazing story that points to the Promise of Christ. He weaves doctrine into the story in such a way that you don’t feel “preached at.” His contrast of before the Fall and after the Fall brings to life how evil sin is and how it has affected all areas of our lives and our world. These will be a great addition to every family.
Trust and Deception by Melissa Troutman
This FBI novel is well-researched, exciting, and fun to read. Melissa Troutman has an amazing knack for writing. She brings to the forefront the struggle of staying close to God while being experiencing great trials in this world. The reader will not want to put this book down. It is a must read!
Behind the Shadows Book 1: Goth by Kimberly Koch
Adam Gould is not your average teenager. In fact, if you ever saw him coming, you might walk the other way. He dresses completely in black, dyes his hair, and outlines his eyes in heavy goth makeup. But, what you wouldn’t realize is what’s behind those shadows: he’s hiding the bruises and trying to stand apart from the world.
Adam’s never been popular, and starting over at a new school in a whole new state is no way for this outcast to become an inspiration—unless that’s exactly how God wants to use him. Adam is trying his best to be God’s light in a dark world, especially when it comes to repairing the broken relationship with his mother or catching the attention of the tempestuous Keira Sanchez. But nothing is perfect. His mom is bogged down with her bad choices, and Keira is clearly hiding a dark secret. Nevertheless, Adam won’t give up. By pulling at the strings of the past, he scratches the surface of a seedy underbelly that is plaguing their otherwise picturesque small-town. As Adam attempts to navigate the winding pitfalls of life, it becomes clear that his whole world is about to change.
