Women of Prayer Series (Books 1-4), Until Forever - Forever Blessed - Forever Loved - Forever Faithful

Four Novels in One! This set contains all four of the 'Women of Prayer Series' novels from author Darlene Shortridge. Until Forever - Forever Blessed - Forever Loved - Forever Faithful.

UNTIL FOREVER - Jessi hung up the phone. That was the fifth time she tried calling home with no answer. She had just started eating lunch when she remembered she had forgotten to call home. It was something she would never forgive herself for.

It wasn't until lunchtime that Jessi remembered to call home. No answer. She tried calling several times while she ate her lunch. Still no answer. She closed her eyes and rested her arms and head on her desk. She breathed deeply, wishing she had remembered to call earlier.

Until Forever is a story of a young family that is torn apart by the devastating effects of alcoholism. Can healing take place in a relationship when an unforgivable act is committed? Will Jessi's pain and Mark's guilt keep them apart forever, or will unforeseen circumstances bind them together?

FOREVER BLESSED - Laney watched her life disappear in the rear view mirror. If only her memories would disappear as well…

She was two hours west of town when the lights in the big two-story brick house came on. She couldn’t possibly hear the shouting and cursing, yet her insides were knotted and her stomach churned. If he caught her, he would kill her. Of that she was certain.

Forever Blessed is the story of a young mother who is on the run from an abusive husband with her three children in tow. Does Laney find safety from a controlling manipulating spouse? Does Paul track her down and make her pay for her disobedience? Where does God fit into all this?

For fiction, Darlene Shortridge writes real stories for real people… In Forever Blessed, Ms. Shortridge carves a gripping and heartfelt tale about spousal abuse with stark conflicts and turbulent emotions, while entwining the tale with the Lord's eye-opening truth! Forever Blessed is about faith, triumph over trauma, a veil lifted from an unspeakable subject, and learning to rely on God’s sustaining strength. I look forward to book three of The Women of Prayer series!

FOREVER LOVED - "I do believe God can forgive him. I really do. I’m just not sure I can."

Ryan’s revelation shocks Rachel to the core. Are the foundations of a three-cord marriage strong enough to handle even the worst deception? Even when two are willing to give up?

Rachel suspects Ryan’s betrayal, but when she finds out the truth, her life is torn upside down and inside out. Ryan hides his past, fearful that when it catches up to him, it will destroy him and everything he has worked to build.

When the past finally meets the present, both Ryan and Rachel are lost in a world of confusion, pain and misery. Knowing God can and will forgive every repentant heart doesn’t ensure that they are capable of doing the same.

Is forgiveness a feeling or an act of obedience? Will God give them the strength to do the impossible?

FOREVER FAITHFUL - “To the person who has my daughter, this is me officially declining this nomination. It’s done. Now return my daughter.”
Greg and Jackie Adams had the perfect life. The perfect family. The perfect business. It only took a moment for everything to change.
Jackie Adams is forced to give up her dream of being a United States Senator when her daughter’s life is jeopardized. Greg’s business is lost when the local economy plummets. Forced to live in the shadow of their former life, bitterness and depression take hold. Joy is all but forgotten.
Can two people who have always found their faith to come easy, learn to trust in hard times? Can joy be present regardless of circumstances? Is God able to restore everything when it is stolen by the enemy?

Enjoy them all.
