The Francine Rivers Contemporary Collection: Leota‘s Garden / And the Shofar Blew

This collection bundles two contemporary Christian novels by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece. Leota‘s Garden plus And the Shofar Blew are combined into one e-book for a great value! Leota‘s Garden: "An emotionally compelling story" ( Library Journal) about the devastation secrets can unleash on a family and the power of grace to bring second chances. Leota‘s garden was once a place of beauty, where flowers bloomed and hope thrived. Now, eighty-four-year-old Leota Reinhardt is alone, her beloved garden in ruins. All her efforts to reconcile with her adult children have been fruitless, and she voices her despair to a loving Father, her only friend. Then God brings a wind of change through unlikely means. "Rivers is a master gardener . . . using poignant humor and bittersweet revelation to open hearts to reconciliation." -Romantic Times And the Shofar Blew: He seemed like the perfect pastor to lead Centerville Christian Church. She was the perfect pastor‘s wife. When Paul Hudson accepted the call to pastor the struggling church, he had no idea what to expect. But it didn‘t take long for Paul to turn Centerville Christian Church around. Attendance was up-way up. Everything was going so well. If only his wife could see it that way. Still, he tried not to let her quiet presence disturb him. She knew something wasn‘t right, and it hadn‘t been for a long time. . . . Eunice closed the bedroom door quietly and knelt beside her bed. "I‘m drowning, God. I‘ve never felt so alone. Who can I turn to but you, Lord? Where else does a pastor‘s wife go for help when her marriage is failing and her life is out of control? Who can I trust with my anguish, Lord? Who but you?" "This book is a powerful and almost-prophetic statement of the church in America. . . . And the Shofar Blew is a must-read." -Anne Graham Lotz, bestselling author and speaker
