Verse of the Day

Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. With Your counsel You will guide me, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. . . . But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works. (Psalm 73:23–28)

Verse of the Day

The fire hadn't so much as touched the three men--not a hair singed, not a scorch mark on their clothes, not even the smell of fire on them! (Daniel 3:27 MSG)

“Hold fast, My child, for in the hour of anguish, then shall you walk in victory. Do not pray to be brought out of the fire until after you have found Me real in the midst of it. The coward seeks release from pressure. The courageous pray for strength to overcome.” Frances J. Roberts, On the Highroad of Surrender

 

Verse of the Day

“If you throw us in the fire, the God we serve can rescue us from your roaring furnace and anything else you might cook up. . . . But even if he doesn't, it wouldn't make a bit of difference. . . . We still wouldn't serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up." (Daniel 3:17–18 msg)

“Modern man has so protected himself from discomfort that his body and his soul are in a dangerously weakened condition. Where shall he draw courage in the day of affliction?

            “Always you need My guidance.

            “Look for me in the midst of every fiery furnace and you will be influenced by My Spirit rather than by your own natural impulses (2 Corinthians 11:16–33; 2 Timothy 2:3).” Frances J Roberts, Progress of Another Pilgrim

ABOUT THE BOOK

The future should be bright for Deborah Vandermark, who is now pursuing her interest in medicine alongside Dr. Christopher Clayton, who is courting her. But the lumber town is resistant to the idea of a woman physician, and she feels thwarted at every turn.

A more devastating blow occurs, however, when Christopher breaks off their relationship to return home to his troubled family. Despite her own love life going awry, Deborah is still intent to be a matchmaker for both her widowed mother and her brother, who has caught the eye of the spit-fire daughter of the local pastor.

But what will Deborah do when faced with the truth about Christopher's family? Is there hope for the two of them...or will Jake Wyeth's attentions finally catch Deborah's eye instead?
