Despite my dislike of Christian romance fiction (or any romance fiction) over the past year I have read and reviewed several.  This spring I have been pleased to find two books of this genre that will go on the bookcase for my girls to enjoy in a few years time.

Like Sweet Sanctuary, The Promise Box delves deeply into the spiritual lives of the characters.  This is the part of every “story” that is told to me that I look for, “where is God’s hand, grace?  Where is His deliverance.”  It is refreshing read stories where the characters are doing the very thing I hope to be doing, what I encourage my children to do ~ to search their hearts, to seek God’s grace and direction for their lives.

The Promise Box by Tricia Goyer is book 2 of the Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors series.  An advance reader’s copy was provided to me by Litfuse Publicity Group in exchange for my opinion.
