CrossReads Book Blast: Serenity to Accept by Elizabeth Maddrey

Serenity to Accept By Elizabeth Maddrey

About the Book

Karin Reid has never had much use for God. There's been too much pain in her life for her to accept that God is anything other than, at best, disinterested or, at worst, sadistic. Until she meets Jason Garcia. After his own mistakes of the past, Jason is committed to dating only Christians. He decides to bend his rule for Karin, as long as she comes to church with him. As their friendship grows, both will have to decide if they'll accept the path God has for them, even if it means losing each other.

Elizabeth Maddrey Elizabeth Maddrey began writing stories as soon as she could form the letters properly and has never looked back. Though her practical nature and love of math and organization steered her into computer science for college and graduate school, she has always had one or more stories in progress to occupy her free time. When she isn’t writing, Elizabeth is a voracious consumer of books and has mastered the art of reading while undertaking just about any other activity. She loves to write about Christians who struggle through their lives, dealing with sin and receiving God’s grace. Elizabeth lives in the suburbs of Washington D.C. with her husband and their two incredibly active little boys. She invites you to interact with her at her website www.ElizabethMaddrey.com or on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMaddrey

About the Book:Brother Half Angel is the leader of a secret new church military order, dedicated to helping Christians under attack around the world. In this book, the first in the Brother Half Angel series, he is dispatched urgently to China, where an underground seminary is under siege from fanatical sword-wielding members of a local cult who still pay homage to the bloodthirsty extremists who tried to expel all foreigners from China in the nineteenth century.

About the Author:

Martin Roth is a veteran journalist and foreign correspondent whose reports from Asia have appeared in leading publications around the world, including the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun and The Guardian. He is the author of many books. His Brother Half Angel international thrillers focus on the persecuted church. They feature Brother Half Angel, an abrasive former military man who heads a clandestine new military order that is dedicated to fighting for the rights of persecuted Christians around the world. He lives in Australia with his Korean wife and three sons.

5 Favs with Martin:

Favorite city you’ve visited – Tokyo. I lived there for 17 years, and wouldn’t have stayed if I didn’t love the place. They say that when you visit Rome or Paris you feel like you’re living in the past, when you visit New York you feel like you’re living in the present and when you visit Tokyo you feel like you’re living in the future. It’s true.

Favorite food – just about anything Japanese, unless it’s still wriggling (which in Japan it occasionally is).

Favorite authors – I write thrillers and I love reading them. Raymond Chandler, who wrote “The Big Sleep” and “Farewell My Lovely” is the master. I read and re-read him, wondering how he manages to create all that atmosphere.

Favorite book you’ve read in the last three months – a Scottish friend has just left Australia (where I live) and has moved with his family back to the UK. Before he went he gave me his collection of Ian Rankin detective mysteries, and I’m reading the series now. They’re great – excellent writing, marvelous characters and a gritty, very atmospheric Edinburgh locale. 

Favorite historical person (fiction or non) - as a strong Christian I should probably answer that it is Jesus. But I have just started some intensive reading of the Old Testament, so right now my favorite historical person is that passionate man of God - and man of action - David.
