My second book, Forgiveness Lived, published by Xulon Press, was released in June, 2010, and I am very excited!  Here is what the back cover tells you about this fictional story about a very real and serious problem in today's world:

Uninvited trouble is never easy to deal with, but when it comes out of left field in the form of a dizzying betrayal, it can leave a family devastated.  Forgiveness Lived is the story of such a family.  Emotions run high--and low--as the Lakefords wrestle with the heartbreak of scandal and rumor foisted upon them as they stand innocently by.  Joseph Lakeford is a good man who takes good care of his wife, his son, and his widowed mother.  He did not ask for this betrayal, but because of the manner in which he deals with it, he emerges victorious.  Whether you are a Christian or not, whether you are fifteen or a hundred and five, this story will capture you, and in the end you may find answers for your own life.

If you've been betrayed in the past or are experiencing a painful betrayal now, this book will bring you assurance that God can help you overcome the battle that has raged, and may still be raging, within you.  For now, this verse is for you:  Romans 12:19--Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord.     New American Standard Bible

Although this is a serious book on a serious subject, there are many lighthearted, amusing, and tender moments that will touch practically every emotion.  Besides the chapters dealing with the betrayal and all things related to it, men, women, and teens will enjoy the chapters on travel, sports, holidays, food (I always enjoy writing about food!) and other aspects of life within the Lakeford family, their church, and their town.

For a limited time, I am continuing the pre-release special on the book, with free delivery.  The paperback is $16 and the hardcover is $26. (The suggested retail price for paperback is $16.99 and hardcover is $26.99.)  The book will be autographed and personalized. There are a couple of other specials, too.  If you are interested in one of these specials just click here to go to the order page.
