Give us this Day By June Foster GIVEAWAY!





Jess Colton gave his life to the Lord but failed to surrender an old habit. Fueled by alcohol, he spent the night with a former girlfriend, ignoring his Christian principles. Convicted of his wrong doing, he quit drinking, but discovered another addiction. Now he can't manage his life as his weight soars and diabetes threatens to claim him. Jess is baffled when the beautiful Holly Harrison declares her love.

Holly lived to please herself. But everything changed when a deadly motorcycle accident altered her life forever. Nowhere else to turn, she looked to God for answers. Now, she's convinced no man will want her. She doesn't plan on falling in love with the handsome Jess Colton, seeing pat his bulk to the godly, tender man within. When Jess drives a wedge between them, she loses hope of a future with him.

Can Holly overcome her fear of Jess discovering her handicap? Will Jess find control over his eating and his life?
 




I am a retired school teacher with a BA in Education and a MA in Counseling. We live and travel in our RV, so my resourceful husband took the couch out and set up a writing desk with two filing cabinets for me. I had never written fiction until the Lord put a story in my heart. When I told it to my daughter one day, she suggested I write it. That was the spark I needed. I love to write stories in which Christian men and women find victory in their lives through the power of God. I've written two other novels before the Bellewood Series Desert Breeze is publishing. Besides writing, I scrapbook, make cards, and enjoy my sixteen grandchildren.
 
Let me start by saying we all know someone in our life like Holly and just like Jess. These are characters that we can all relate to they are not some impossible made up people who are to good to be true.
I enjoyed this book so much, June really knows how to pull you in the story. June is a women after Gods own heart and it shows in her writing.
I gave this book five stars but I was a little sad that the book was not longer, it was so good it was just to short for me. I need more June. I can't wait to read book two in the Bellewood series.
I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book. It is a book that all of you are sure to really enjoy, it is written so well.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.
