No Home for the Holidays - Lillian Duncan


BLURB:

Unlike the Prodigal Son, Chloe Sullivan knows she can’t go home for the Christmas holidays or ever—not if she wants to stay alive.
She’s resigned to the fact she must stay in hiding to keep herself and her family safe. Lonely and desperate for God’s presence, she’s drawn to a nearby church.
Ex-FBI agent turned preacher, Colton Douglas, mistakenly identifies Chloe as the person breaking into local churches. A midnight chase ensues that ends with him snapping her photo. When the photo goes public he learns more about the mystery woman than he bargained for. . .
And that changes everything!

WHY I WRITE WHAT I WRITE!



Do you know what a parable is? One definition (my favorite) is an earthly story with a heavenly message. Wow! That’s a very close description of what I write. My stories are action-filled stories but with a heavenly message. So does that mean I write parables? I like to think so. How cool is that?

Jesus used parables to teach.

He knew that stories can illustrate a truth better than any lecture or sermon. Scientists say that stories and movies activate the brain as if the events are actually happening to the reader or movie goer. So that means we can learn from them without having to face the consequences of the bad choices in our real life.

And that’s why I write what I write!

My stories are first and foremost meant to entertain the reader, but they also have a spiritual message or a life lesson. No Home For The Holidays is a Christmas-themed story readers will find entertaining but with several heavenly messages.

Chloe Sullivan needs a miracle but has given up on getting it. As sad as it is, she’s resigned to the fact that she has to stay in hiding if she wants to remain alive and keep her family safe.

Ex-FBI turned preacher, Colton Douglas believes in helping others. When Chloe enters his life, he’s sure God has put her in his path for a reason—to help her. And that’s just what he plans to do, whether she likes it or not.

Both Colton and Chloe learn something about themselves and about life as they face death. Some of the things Colton and Cloe learn are some of the things we all need to learn as we journey through this life.


And that’s why I write what I write!
